It strange, but I can't seem to find any (good) "poly by poly" modeling tutorials for Softimage. The basic technique however is simple, although it takes some time to master, obviously...
1 Create a very small polymesh grid with no subdivision, which will function as the very first polygon.
2 Place this correctly (corresponding to your reference images)
3 Duplicate or Extrude edges and tweak the point/edge position
4 Repeat step 3 until you're ready

Other poly modeling tools (can) obviously also come into play, but basically that's all that's to it (technique-wise) ;)

And, obviously, feel free to ask if you get stuck!!!

Ctrl + D actually is the duplicate command, which IMHO is better for poly by poly modeling than extrude... ;)
