My suggestion to you is to check out the topology thread for ideas of how different parts should flow, just as an extra reference to the dvd you're following.

I dont think you need any crit right now but if any to be given, this is looking good. If you follow that dvd you'll pick up some useful stuff. Its a very good walk through from start to finish, just persevere.
Cheers

No Probs. Any character model on this forum will always get my eye over it at least once, with or without comments. The topo thread was one I felt was needed here. Its helping...I hope! LOL
Cheers

Have just gotten a new cafe job from 6:30am - 3pm then at my other job from 3pm - 6. Realy doesn't leave much time for maya.
Started working on the body detail, i seem to get into point pulling trances until it looks the way i like it
. I know the back is looking a bit bunched but am working on it. Thanks acid, yep the gluteus was lookin a bit small.

I have stopped using maya for the moment. I thought that i really need to get my anatomy up to scratch first before modeling organic models. So i have worked through rivinphoenixes the invention to the human figure posted up in Jays anatomy sticky thread. I can now draw with so much confidence than before its unbelievable. Even looking at peoples 3d posts i can spot what bones / muscles are looking odd. I have now sort of been drawn to the 2d side of things than the 3d.
Could anyone here help me out with pointing me to some good painting/ toning/ drawing tutorials. Since i really want to improve more - or maybe some advice about how to improve. I was thinking about taking a class on painting/ drawing.
Cheers guys
Mark
