This is the first human <i>anything</i> I have ever modeled (except for the Adrianna tutorial) and although less than perfect, I'm very happy with the results. Jonathan's modeling magic is made accessible through this generously offered DVD. <a href="http://blender.sixdays.net/drp.jpg" rel="nofollow">My Head Model (Plain)</a> <a href="http://blender.sixdays.net/drw.jpg" rel="nofollow">My Head Model (Wire)</a> You'll certainly notice some mesh imperfections in my model, and I certainly haven't attained modeling perfection in just one pass, there are plenty of problems to pick at. None the less, I've just accomplished something I thought nearly impossible for me and it is because of Jonathan's DVD. BTW, this DVD is superior to the Adrianna tutorial in every way. Not only does it offer instruction on the rest of the female head, the mesh techniques are superior, not to mention, it's paced better. Here's some advice to those following along with the DVD: - Go ahead, rush on ahead of the instruction and try to do things your own way. Then, when you fail miserably, wipe away the tears, and go back and follow along carefully with the instruction. - Follow the mesh construction as closely as possible. You'll find that when the mesh is constructed properly, as is given by Jonathan step by step, then getting the proper shape comes easier than you might expect. - Take your time. What Jonathan does in a couple of hours will take a beginner quite a bit longer to get right. I spent the better part of a week going through the instruction. - Don't be afraid to yell at and mock Jonathan. He can't hear you. They're just videos. This will make you feel better when he effortlessly does those things that seem much more difficult for you and me. - Don't expect perfection from yourself, and don't be afraid to experiment a little, it will aid the learning process. There are a lot of modeling techniques offered that will take some experimentation to master. - Stick with it and don't get discouraged. You can do this. If you hit a wall (it happened to me a few times) then put it away and go to sleep. You will dream about extruding edges and filling faces all night long. Then just pick it up again when you're ready. Thanks Jonathan! I just completed the tutorials on Jonathan's DVD and I have to say it is worth every penny.

You'll certainly notice some mesh imperfections in my model, and I certainly haven't attained modeling perfection in just one pass, there are plenty of problems to pick at. None the less, I've just accomplished something I thought nearly impossible for me and it is because of Jonathan's DVD.

The first face I ever did was with the Adrianna tutorial (the same guy, Jonathan, created the tutorial - check his website) and I had very good results. This should be really good.
