Am I doing this right?

I have started to 3D model, or I should say tried to 3D model, I have been messing around in Inventor and was wondering if this how you guys model. This was just a quick thing I did, not meant to be precise. Do you just get reference pictures and draw on them and extrude or no?

Yeah, that's pretty much it, actually. It's -slightly- more involved than that, but that's the basic gist of it, yes.

How did you import the obj. or pdo into inventor?

It is not a .obj ore pdo, it is a jpeg...
