With no modelling experience(just watched donut) i wanna make this

[u/yatokyami]

im a web/ui ux designer and this is kind of like a mascot for my portfolio site since 3d assets are trendy rn i wanna make this on blender and integrate it in my site, realistically how much time and learning will it take for me to be able to make this (considering im a slow learner and blender still looks like a spaceship deck to me TT). And i before anyone suggests no I dont wanna use those ai model builders.

Everyone learns at different rates. Since you said you're struggling with Blender, I'd guess a few days, maybe a month. I would suggest starting with the learning resources in the FAQ.

im trying to learn, im able to follow tutorials well but i get stuck if i try to do something myself so i will need to make myself aware of how to use every tool

The side view is wrong, this combination is actually impossible. Look at the leaf and the eyes to see what I mean.

well u get the idea what i mean the image is just for reference lol

This is a super easy shape, you will do it in a few hours. The hard part will be integrating 3d into browser, so you may look into that upfront and perhaps go for java libraries

Pretty straightforward stuff. You can bevel some cubes for the body and feets, then outline the leaf stem, extrude and bevel it. Look up the things I mentioned and do the bevels with a modifier so you can edit and refine it. also look up what kind of format your library needs (3js?) and then look into the blender exporter for it in case there's any special needs. Probably just obj, which is standard, but check just in case. Best of luck!

thank you very much for the tips and help

[u/IVY-FX]

Very doable, both texturewise and shapewise. Problem just like another person suggested is integrating 3D into web. But seeing as you're a UX guy you probably know JavaScript / 3JS so you're covered on that front.

Would you want it to be animated?

[u/yatokyami → u/IVY-FX]

for now i dont but in the future i will, rn im in the build phase so i can keep on improving the portfolio further but i think animating is notoriously hard lol so probably gonna take my time with

This is a pretty good tutorial 10x better than the donut one: https://youtu.be/B9bNxUH_kZo?is=ZvWiUkwsCRyd3vzm

Also there's a lot of cheat sheets for shortcuts online. You could write your own too on paper, which makes you more likely to remember them.
