So this is my first time modeling anything like this, and I feel i’ve come a long way. Unfortunately i’ve come across some problems that I can’t seem to figure out how to fix. As you can see in the pictures below, the handle is oddly deformed in certain areas, and I can not seem to achieve the smoothness I want no matter what I try.
If anyone can please give me some advice on how to fix these issues it would be greatly appreciated. I know it’s not that great, but I really wish to improve, so any criticism on anything else is also greatly appreciated!
