Challenging myself.

hi everyone,
it occurred to me that i wont get any better unless i challenge myself with my modeling.

so i would like some suggestions.

what should i model? i want it to be challenged with it, so make it hard.


anyway, if you don't have any ideas, ill sketch some things.

thanks alot, in advance.
i will post my progress when it happens!

do you have any preferences? Weaknesses you want to improve? Or does it really not matter?

If thats the case, make a jet, chopper, something with guns :p

thanks for the suggestions.
no, i havent really modeled a human before, i cant seem to find references.

anyway, i love to model creatures and futuristic stuff, but i dont have any ideas really.

my weakness is modeling human heads. again, i can never find references.

so, if you have references for heads or anything, feel free to post them here.

other than that, it doesnt matter

There's thousands of references online. A quick google search will point you to them.

you can get some pretty nice front/side images from mugshots

Ideally, I think I like working with drawings tbh

Loomis has some drawings here and there - you can probably find some front/side images of his one fineart
