How do I pull up the options from 4:05 to 4:20? Thanks.

Excellect Tutorial - please read this first though.

I'm a beginner, but I've done enough tutorials to understand what is happening, and I played this at 1.5x speed.

This is amazingly useful. Disregard the haters and nay-sayers, and look past the Blender Version and the apparent lack of explanation.

When I first started these videos, I also thought they were boring, outdated, and didn't provide much information.

Please understand that this should not be viewed as a "How to use Blender" tutorial.  The gold in this tutorial is the technique used for achieving each part of the mesh.

The narration is perfect in this case - There is a lot silence with intermittent, bullet-point-style notes of what is being done rather than a relaxed conversational approach. eg. "Delete unnecessary topology",  "With mirroring back on, forming the neck opening", "Disabling the magnet before extruding".

I watched this all the way through before I wrote this review. Now,I'm going to watch each one again and follow along...

How can I fast-forward through these videos?

22nd April 2018 - 19:46

left and right key features line up with the guides. I dont get it.

@gurbanov.roman So the eyes are on the same line, the ears are on the same line, etc. Making the image as mirrored across the y-axis as possible.

Same questions as from Ayomide Awe

@gurbanov.roman: The software in this tutorial is called GIMP, it's not Blender. Check this check here how to add/remove guidelines in gimp: https://www.wikihow.com/Add-or-Remove-Guidelines-in-GIMP

At 4:11 When you had the side image and had the layers with the head configuration...I cannot get there? Hod do I get to that point? Seems a little fast for me I guess
