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.

Looks pretty good, some of the anatomy seems a bit odd, but it's all there. Maybe if you smoothed out some of the edges? I don't know. Looks good either way.

Here is how the back looks like and if i make it looking exectly like that it wont look organic and natural, it will look robotic like and Cg and also since this guy isn't a bodybuider his back needs to be less defined, maybe even less than i made him, but i like to make him at least a bit muscular othewise i would just smooth everything. Also in this image it only show us the muscles, but there is also fat in the human body that changes the form and that is what i wanted to create.

I was going to say, he looks like he's not got his skin on.

Its up to you, is it anatomical that your after, a "real" human look, or OTT muscular look?

At the moment, he's not meshing together.

THanks Jay that's what i meant something like Bruce Lee, slim and muscular. Have tons of reference images and some are realistic other are comic book like models so just need to focus more on the realistic ones.

Ok so i've worked on the hands, think the palm need more work and when i will get to a higher division i will add wrinkles on the palm. Thinks left to do to the model: the legs, the feet, the head, and the hands.

Started the legs on the front, hopefuly i will finish the model today. Also i have found a useful script for maya it's called Xy ShrikWrap and using this i wont have to redo the detail on the new organized mesh. What this script does it that it makes points from on mesh and makes it conform to the points on another mesh and so i wont have to detail the animation ready mesh again.
