Careful! It's addictive. :biggrin:
Looks like a great start. Good idea to develop your own mesh - there are some really horrible tutorials out there - and to keep it low in polygons. You'll want to rewire often as you go, and that's so much easier that way. Get the shape right and then refine some portions only if you absolutely can't get the necessary detail otherwise.
Studying people is very helpful, too. Photo references keep you honest while modeling when you don't have a patient life model at hand, but nothing beats the understanding you get from observing actual people in motion.
Also, if you haven't done any life drawing before, I'd recommend you start now.
