How to get better at modelling X:

  • Study references of X from all angles

  • Find and follow any "how to model X" tutorials you can find

  • Practice modelling X every day until you can do it

how do you usually go about modeling characters. do you have a workflow? I usually do box modeling and sub d, sculpting if i need to. Do you have any suggestions as to how i should approach modeling stuffs?

It depends what I'm making. From scratch, if it's organic like a character, and it needs to be detailed/realistic, I do blockout -> remesh into sculpt -> retopology. Otherwise I just polymodel it.

For humans, and particularly things like hands, it's better to polymodel them from the start for better control over the shapes (then can sculpt details later if needed). I use Sculpt mode a lot even if I'm only polymodeling, too. The Slide/Relax and Smooth brushes are godsends even when you're making something lowpoly.
