Moving from stepped to splines

Right, i’ve always just winged it a this stage, but it’s dawned on me today I really need to put some real thought into how I approach this step. So i’m spending the afternoon reading as many tutorials as possible. But i’d also like your insight.

How do you approach this stage, do put all the work into the blocking so that the splines need minimal work? do you have a fool-proof method on how to approach this stage? any incredible tutorials on the subject. That sorta jazz.

A nice little discussion over the transition from blocking to spline.
