Tutorial : Character Modeling

I am re-writing this tutorial using Blender, available from http://www.blender.org/

blender

I would like to compare different methods, for example:

Building up from simple mesh shapes such as cube and sphere, then adding vertices and edges to build up more complex shapes.
As above, but starting with 'Meta' shapes which combine in more organic ways.
Starting with 2D shapes then extruding.

I would appreciate any help that anyone could give me with this.
