Hey we all have to start somewhere.

WING: I think you should look into subDivision modeling, its a lot easier than building primitives. Actually a easy, free SUBD modeler exists called "Wings" (should be easy for you to remember) wings

If you like to build up primitives though than NURBS modeling is the way to go.Both methods I described are easy and fast. You will be a pro in no time.

Anyway, nobody here is exactly a Renoir or Matisse, that is a certainty.
