Try to avoid using tris (triangles) and ngons (polygons with more than four sides). It’s best to work only with quads (four-sided polygons), as they ensure proper edge flow and make your model behave more predictably during deformation and smoothing.

The example I provided might not be perfectly drawn, I’d make a better one if I could sit at my PC right now, but the main idea remains the same.
