ok.  I find it difficult to do this as it is a first for me.  I have started sketching it in my free time.  If i had some tools i would sculpt it.  But i will start again.  This work has really ticked me off because i keep trying something new where i think it all went wrong, and that seems not to be getting me anywhere.    Oh well.  Ill start at the head.  I am not  so good at anatomy and just generally getting a pose.  That is what , in my opinion, has been getting me down.  I am trying too hard there and not focusing on the basics.  And i am going about it wrong.  I just do it because i dont like seeing a featureless area. it is an impulse. 
Thanks for the advice. 

there is the work i did at school.  I made a base for the legs to hook on to.  I think that is what constructed is supposed to mean. 

The arms outside covers the hand.  Thats why you dont see anything. 

i did a basic dither of the first pallette.

Thought id give it a go.  Very WIP
