IF YOU WANNA DO THIS, HERE'S HOW I'D LEARN IT AGAIN:
Step 1: Basics
ABSOLUTE BEGINNERto blender should start with the one and only Blender Guru:
(he'll teach you the fundamentals of blender super well):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0J27sf9N1Y&list=PLjEaoINr3zgEPv5y--4MKpciLaoQYZB1Z&ab_channel=BlenderGuru
Step 2: Sculpting
@KeelanJon has a great video about how to sculpt in blender:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJSGoKbNBnQ&t=6s&pp=ygUYaG93IHRvIHNjdWxwdCBpbiBibGVuZGVy
a longer alternative by @BranSculpts:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2_uiUEcY7w&pp=ygUYaG93IHRvIHNjdWxwdCBpbiBibGVuZGVy
Grant also has an updated video for 4.3:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLeCu8UNrRk&t=112s&pp=ygUYaG93IHRvIHNjdWxwdCBpbiBibGVuZGVy
Step 3: Retopologize
Gotta go with Dikko to teach ya this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwM19PgSdCM&pp=ygUQZGlra28gcmV0b3BvbG9neQ%3D%3D
and his cage modeling low poly tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ztn-S0o1DE&t=1699s&pp=ygUQZGlra28gcmV0b3BvbG9neQ%3D%3D
Step 4: Clothing
honestly, there's not much here, but I found this quick tutorial by @baeac that kinda covers the basic flow:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZheJ1p1FyE&t=73s&pp=ygUcaG93IHRvIGRvIGNsb3RoZXMgaW4gYmxlbmRlcg%3D%3D
Step 5: UV Unwrap
I'm gonna be honest, this is something Nick just showed me on the fly, so I didn't have to watch a tutorial, but I'd recommend the video below by @OnMars3D who's a great teacher:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XleO7DBm1Us&pp=ygUbaG93IHRvIHV2IHVud3JhcCBpbiBibGVuZGVy
Step 6: Textures
Gotta start with Grant:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjS_zNQNVlw&pp=ygUZaG93IHRvIHRleHR1cmUgaW4gYmxlbmRlcg%3D%3D
I'll throw in a second video by @KaizenTutorials for good measure:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OVvnOh2ZGk&pp=ygUZaG93IHRvIHRleHR1cmUgaW4gYmxlbmRlcg%3D%3D
IF you wanna learn how to do it in substance:
I think this video by @ProductionCrate does a good job!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFGWe3G8uIo&ab_channel=ProductionCrate
Step 7: Rigging
I really recommend Auto Rig Pro here BUT if you wanna build your own:
there's a quick setup guide I recommend by Joey Carlino:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDeB4tDVCGY&t=495s&pp=ygUScmlnZ2luZyBpbiBibGVuZGVy
but he ALSO has a longer one if you want to get into the weeds:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Obo_nC3SM&t=718s&pp=ygUScmlnZ2luZyBpbiBibGVuZGVy
Step 8: Weight Paint
I struggled finding good longer tutorials on this but these were not bad by @TheRoyalSkies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLWv9yjVaoU&t=103s&pp=ygUXd2VpZ2h0IHBhaW50aW5nIGJsZW5kZXI%3D
and @Yami_3D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M7YO3SYJ_U&pp=ygUXd2VpZ2h0IHBhaW50aW5nIGJsZW5kZXI%3D
Step 9 and 10 I don't really get into on this video but for starting to animate I'd go with Joey again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAIZkIfXXjQ&pp=ygUSYW5pbWF0ZSBpbiBibGVuZGVy
and @RyanKingArt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBJp82tlR3M&pp=ygUSYW5pbWF0ZSBpbiBibGVuZGVy
