1. Open Blender and delete everything in the scene.
2. Rename the default collection for organization.
3. Import your references and adjust their opacity for better visibility.

Step 3: Model the Torso

1. Add a cylinder mesh for the torso.
2. Adjust the vertices and cap fill type to match the reference shape.
3. Use loop cuts and the subdivision surface modifier for detailing.
4. Sculpt and adjust the torso shape to match the reference.

Step 4: Create the Legs

1. Extrude and shape the legs from the torso.
2. Add loop cuts for better topology around the knees and thighs.
3. Use sculpting tools to refine the leg shape.

Step 5: Define the Waist and Hips
