Pathetic-ly New to Blender

I’m a 2D artist exploring the world of 3D in Blender (it’s only been five days). My goal is to create one of my characters in 3D. I read the Noob to Pro tutorial, but found it didn’t really answer my questions because of a lot of it was missing or jumping round. I just want to do a 3D model from start to finish, including adding textures and such. Is there a complete tutorial out there that can help me achieve this goal?

After working the tutorial, I came up with an armature of what I’d like the character to look like. But, I think this feature is more for animations and therefore way over my head. (See if you can make out the image…)

The old classic start to finish tutorial is Joan of Arc, the new classic start to finish tutorial is Introduction to Character Animation.
