References Before starting any new model it is beneficial to have some type of reference References can be pictures of real objects or art work Help to get accurate scale and dimensions Can later be used as a basis for textures

Texture Creation Unwrap your 3D model Unwrapping is segmenting your model and flattening it onto a 2D plane Use overlapping as much as possible to keep texture size smaller
