i'd say try to concentrate on the very basic bodyform before you start tackling clothes and such, i mean its not about the muscleflow or something like that, right now you need to focus on proportions more than anything else, grab yourself an anatomybook and try to nail some of its proportions without wasting to much time on highresdetails, just block in the shapes with simple topology to get a feel of the human body, right now it appears very random, besides your chars having 4 limbs.
I have been using an anatomy book. Trust me I've been following everything I can in the process
You're jumping into 3d too fast, start with drawing. Get a sketchbook and draw every free moment you have - draw from life, draw people at the cafe. If that seems like too much work then you are in the wrong field.
Most of us drew since we were toddlers so we had the luxury to doodle, have fun and do whatever we wanted. You're going to have to focus on drawing the hard stuff you don't want to draw.
The general rule of thumb on how long it will take is 10,000 hours of practice.
I'd highly recommend these two for you, the info is a bit dated but will help you get a pretty nice base going and understanding of the lower poly figure before going to full zbrush..
Tell yah what. I'll shut down this thread and CJ can have a brand new start at a new thread for free. Lets try to get along, and CJ, try to have a little humility. If you are here to learn, act like it.

That's a really old model lol
You do know that post was sarcastic right ?
Mine from last page
no, i believe that is your best work.
Defensive attitude only retards your progress. If you feel you know what you are doing then perhaps you are wasting your time here?
Yeah you're right actually lol. I could be doing some more worthwhile like making art, and so can these guys.

most of the guys on this thread probably are making art. i know i am.
if you are just trolling then at least it is fun to watch for the rest of us.
so thanks for the entertainment.
doesn't compute ...
I am not trolling. I just mean I could actually be doing something right NOW, and so can these guys posting.
Weren't you the one asking for critiques ? You clearly didn't like the critiques you received and trying now changing attitudes brushing everyone off.
how do you know they are not doing something productive ?
you dont!
but we all know what you are doing by your own admission.
you start a thread then post images that are "supposed" to be sarcastic and then complain why people are posting on your thread wasting their time ?
that pretty much seems like trolling to me.
