Settings up seams
This step is pretty manual since it requires you to think of where you want your model to be cut. Make sure you’re in Edge select mode (2), and don’t forget to Alt+Click to select loops to work faster, then Right Click and Mark Seam.
UV unpacking
Once you’ve set up your seams, go to the UV Editing tab for a better layout. Press U and click Unwrap. Depending on what you’re unwrapping, you may want a specific layout to make painting easier. For example, I like to unwrap the head like this.
Clothes or objects however can be unwrapped and packed using add-ons like UVPackMaster to save time.
Also, don’t forget to make UVs into grids as often as possible, using UVSquares for example! This will help future you when texture painting.
