Modeling : Looking for head tutorials

[mouj]

I hope i won't sound too harsh, but i think your best bet is to practice, and not rant or whine.

First off, you're still young and that is a good point, you've got some time on your hands to practice.
You say you've looked around for tutorials on realistic organic modeling and found nothing, i say you did not look that good, or did not look everywhere.

The way i see it, in tutorials, people show you how they do it, they're not telling you to replicate exactly what they are doing. You might replicate more or less a first time, but then you're on your own : tutorials show you methods, toolsets used, ways of doing things that you have to understand to be able to model on your own.
Also, i think these people do not 'know', they have tried, practiced a lot, looked at reference material and so on...

now that's just my 2 cents

ok thanks mouj. Drawing probably helps too huh? if that helps a lot then I think I might need to work on that. I really suck at drawing and everytime someone tells me to practice drawing I say ok and never do it because I think it is a waste of time and I know I cant make anything good. heh, does tracing count as drawing :rolleyes: ? I guess I need to stop making myself think I need to make something good at first and stop worrying about that. but on the other hand if it turns out crap I get discouraged and get down on myself. But that isnt getting me any better is it? No it isnt. Thanks for the talk :)

[SYS938]

When i goto 3dluvr.com or some other site, there is always a banner/popup with interesting info :p
Try it [also checkout the links sections ;) ]

[Exterminator89]

heh ok thx, well, I am downloading VTMs on 3dbuzz.com and am now getting Drawing VTMs, yes I am working on drawing, I hope it helps in my 3d modeling skills. Because if it does then that is the reason why I have sucked all this time because I really really really suck at drawing :P then I am going on to do some of those organic modeling tuts you mentioned thx agin SYS

[michaelcomet]

FYI that tut linked to on my site the spline one is pretty old. I also have a more updated Poly Modeling head tut also on my site under the 3d help section as well.
