There's version of Maya if you'd rather practice industry standard Blender is super powerful on its own already though, especially if you're just learning.

I didn't see that you were planning on trying sculpting as well; Mudbox might be okay -- I have no experience in it, but from what I recall, it does come free with the student non-commercial license of Maya.

ZBrush's creator Pixologic has their own entry level program called Sculptris. I haven't messed around with it much myself, but its totally free and can help you get your bearings with sculpting

Practise. Once you get comfortable enough modelling becomes muscle memory and you don't even need to think about what you are doing for the most part.

Thanks! I'll try these out. Can't believe most of these seem to be free! How long would you say I need to learn in order to create a simple iphone stand
