Sinking My Teeth In

Began the bike tutorial today. Here's what the finished product will (in theory) look like:

I started with an image plane, or a reference, in other words...

...and from there I began building the wire frame, or the "skeleton" of the model, which is the pair of lines in front of the image plane.

Hope to get a lot more done soon. I'm daunted by Maya right now and moving very slowly, but I can't wait until I get past the basics and really start to have some fun with this.
