Human Base
Hey guys,
I am modelling my first human! I have made a base mesh, and I wanna add edges and detail and advance it. However I was wondering if it was any good? Should I try again?
Is it any good?

Neck starts from the end of the shoulders now.
Are you modeling from reference image? There's awesome character modeling tutorials at BlenderCookie, check them out!
Also, what is recommended? Loading this into a sculpting app and making a high poly version to bake from, or just adding detail to the base?
Your also lacking in basic anatomy, check bridgemans' work for reference and google. Nice try though/
Remember to use reference images in the viewport as you model, that way you will get the proportions right.
Here's the awesome tutorial i was meant to link:

No n-gons or tris in this at all! Quite happy with that. I used this guys tutorial which was really helpful, with some tips taken from the CGGookie one. Thanks for it.
What do you guys think?

Neck, jaw, hips are uneven in density. Anywhere the quads are less and less square.
Are you preparing this as a base for subdividing in Zbrush? Or are you making a base for modeling a low-poly model? Or is it going to be a base for modeling a subdivision surface model? Each has different needs in terms of topology.
If you're going into ZBrush, then the topo doesn't matter much at all, since you'll re-mesh it later.
If you're modeling a low-poly human, then you want it to be much more accurate anatomically. Every edge counts!
If you're making a sub-d model, then anatomic proportions are crucial. Subdivision tends to highlight every deficiency in your technique.
Generally though your topology doesn't have solid anatomical proportions. The model is too vague and blocky at this point. Compare with these meshes.

This, really. I can see you use your basemesh for sculpting, it will need a lot of work for any other application
http://gotwires.blogspot.de/ has some nice tutorials about subD edgeflow (just found the site and I'm impressed)
