The first reference I referred to was the document on Olive to aid us in modeling a legoman. It has images, but lacks instructions, hence I had to figure out what the images were trying to show me. It all seemed relatively simple, except for the arms and legs. They used extrusion on cylinders, which I haven't tried before. However, the hands of the legoman in the document is different from that of mine, hence I might have to find another way to create my hands.
I was afraid that the extrusion on cylinders method would prove to be too hard for me, hence I asked my classmate for help. He showed me another way of modeling the arm, which was to extrude part of the sphere, I think it would somehow be similar to the cylinder method, but I will try both to see which one turns out better.
I then search for videos on Youtube that might help me in my modeling. I came across a speed modeling of a legoman video which is really good. Although the person was using another program to model, the tools look similar to those of Maya. It gave me a quick overview on how a legoman can be modeled.

I also find a more detailed tutorial on modeling a legoman. However, this too, is using another program.
