nice and fast modelling user added image

His pose looks like the final yards of a sprint race (which may be what you're after and looks good). If not then you'll need to alternate the arms/legs into a more realistic pose

and good luck with the UV's, it can be daunting! Check out mr mckinleys UV tutorial on his website for some useful hints and tips, it helped me user added image

(Assuming your using maya), In your shading tab, select wireframe on shaded. Do a screen capture of your work area, and import into photoshop or another paint program. Save as .jpg and post in forum. This is how most people do it.

Or you can map your UV's and use the layout as a texture. Your wire will then show in a render.


Hope this helps out.
