This sort of modelling is a way to model objects by approximating the surfaces of the model using polygons. It's the best/only option for when it comes to creating characters/objects for video games. The process of making these models are manual, so you'll have to know what you're doing.
Primitive Modelling

One of the most common ways of constructing meshes is by getting a bunch of primitive shapes and putting them together. "What are primitive shapes?!" you may ask. Well, primitive shapes are things like disks (2D object), squares, spheres, cubes, cylinders, and other very basic shapes.

Box modelling is getting a primitive shape, then morphing and manipulating it into another, more detailed object. It's one of the more popular ways of making 3D models, using either the Subdivide tool or the Extrude tool, each host different properties.
Extruding is when you get one or more polygon face(s) and extend it, whether in a straight line or diagonally. It's basically extending a flat surface into a longer, wider flat surface that you can do more with.
Subdividing is when you split polygon faces and edges into smaller pieces. Like, when you have a full bar of chocolate, then decide to remove each piece of it into little squares, only it's on a computer and eating it will result in a trip to the hospital and/or death.

This modelling technique is the second most common way of modelling, it allows users to turns 2D shapes that are traced from a photo or a neat little drawing your kid drew and you keep on the fridge (or just a regular drawing, what ever floats your boat) and makes it 3D, and it'll still keep the shape of the original. Like I said at the beginning, this is a very common technique as it can be used to create a wide verity of things, such as faces, hands, and possibly other body limbs mind out of the gutter, please...
Sketch Modelling is a extremely simple and user friendly way of modelling, and one of the best ways of modelling for beginners. That's pretty much it, not much else to really explain... the dragon looks cool though. I mean it looks more like a demon than a dragon but still cool, right?
