What is the best program to begin 3D modeling with?

I am really interested in 3D modeling all of a sudden. Ive been drawing character sketches for years and it would be nice to see some of them in 3 dimensions. Do you guys know of any (preferably FREE) software I would need to get started on this stuff? I heard of one called Blender but I do not know if this is the easiest one to begin with. I am an absolute beginner with this, but I do use Photoshop/Flash etc..

For 3d designing you can try Google Sketchup, that is more for buildings and landscape, you can play with Sandbox tools,and make 3d characters, some import 3d objects from other programs,

blender may be as good as any to start with it is complex, if never used 3d design tools before,
