Character for animation

To day I have worked on creating my maya model for my animation character step by step building the body of my model, it has been going well and I am thoroughly enjoying the process, I previously struggled with the practice model before but I think this was because I did not read the instructions very well even though they were right in front of me. I have miss-read the instructions very early in the stages of making my parts of the video, skipping specific vital information is what caused my model to come out faulty with its movements, connected joints and features for the body. To day I have taken on the advice of my tutor Matt regard my use of Maya and the way he has explained how it should be done to avoid error, Plus I have reflected on my mistakes based on my viewing of the tutorials and have taken time to understand the settings to ensure the success to do with the creation of my character which has gone very well so far as I have finished the modelling stage of my character, now I am looking to add colour the netting/mapping of my character.
