How to Create Baymax 3D Model out of 2D reference?

ismat_jahan

Hello there!
I have been trying to make a Baymax 3D model with the help of a 2D picture reference found online. I tried to do some spline drawing over the pic & revolve but just can't make it right! 
I bet there is a better or simple way to do it, just don't know the right tools to use it. Can someone help plz?? I am really struggling with this.

Also attaching the reference photos found on this site with a better 360 view of the model I am interested to recreate. https://hum3d.com/3d-models/baymax/#360view

For the Body, I think I'd make a series of sketches on planes that are at regular intervals from the top plane and then loft the sketches. You can also add in guides to shape the final loft.
Here is a quick version.

Have a look at the surface modelling tutorial as well....most useful.

You can take this as an underlayer.

Smooth stuff like this is tricky. You're going to use Loft and Fill, instead of Revolve. You've got to get good at modeling jellybeans. Here's an example:

Dear Evan Reese, Thanks a lot for your time & effort to create & share this example with me. Saved me from misconception.
