Quote - Give me some time to come to terms with basic modelling techniques and I'll take up your offer...

If you are just starting out, my suggestion would be to get a handle on zBrush first. That is quickly becoming the standard for modelling organics and many people (and companies) now start with zBrush for their work. Version 3 is very nice in this as it lets you forget about the technical side of modelling and just sculpt what you want. Later when you are done, you can just hang a simple mesh onto your sculpt and export it for use in other apps.

Try the zBrush help forum for any questions you may have:

Good luck :)
