any ideas welcome and also wanted to ask if anyone knew any good guides on blender.

You can search the forums there is some stuff like this already there.

Some people also do workflow videos and study that and the process can help to understand how to go about certain things. People often slow the videos down and follow along creating something. Like this: 【Blender 2.93】メイドラゴン トール 3Dモデリング【Timelapse】 - YouTube
