Use references lots of them, set them in your backgrounds and then follow as best you can.

Sorry for the late reply guys.
Thanks for all teh advice and links :) Helped me out a lot.
And i am already getting used to blender so its all good xD

Just wanted to add one thing about practice... Practice not only helps you get better, but it will also help you run into common mistakes and learn to avoid them in the future. You can't really avoid these mistakes by trying to learn tricks or advanced techniques first, so it's better to get them out of the way early on when you're first learning the basics.

Once you really understand modeling inside and out, you'll be the one writing your own tips and tricks, while using other people's tips to help strengthen your own skill set.

My best advice for learning to use Blender is to log onto the #blender IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. It's an excellent resource for learning to use the program.

Apologies for interrupting, but where is that?

On irc.freenode.net, as I said. Freenode is the home to a lot of open-source or programmer-related things, like Blender, Python, XKCD, etc.

You'll need an IRC client, like X-Chat (or mIRC if you're on Windows). And I think you'll need to have a registered nick to be able to speak in #blender; when you log on you'll be instructed how to do that.
