Blender modeling: try these 3 exercises to improve fast
These are 3 Blender projects you should model for maximum learning value. Which one will you try?
Not all practice is created equal, so make sure you choose your projects wisely to get the most out of them.
🚲 Bicycle is a great one! Why? When modeling bikes in Blender, proportions are key - and they need to match human proportions. You will instantly know if you're not getting it right. Also, why not measure your own bike as the ultimate reference? Bonus: you can make the model as simple or as detailed as you feel comfortable with.

🍳 Kitchen interior is the next thing to tackle as a Blender model All the cups and dishes add up to dozens of mini-exercises you will complete and come out with a great scene in the end. Bonus: this is a great opportunity for instancing; you can copy a lot of objects to make your scene nicely full.

🏃Character model may seem intimidating if you're a beginner, but organic modeling is amazing to try even at a basic level. It's going to push your topology and edge flow, which will make you a better modeler (even if you're looking to become a hard surface modeler). Again, proportions are key: you can get a nice looking character even with simple forms. Plus, even an awkward result means you will have learned a lot.
