Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

twisted surface

Check the direction of your curves. If one curves goes a differnt direction to the other, and then you loft you will end up with a twist. Just select one of the curves and go to edit curves, reverse curve direction. That should fix it.
There's nothing normal about normals. In FACT i think the are abnormal.
