If while applying the Solidify modifier, your Solidify is skewed, [Tab] into object mode and [Control + A] to apply scale.

Hey, Dillon, to make more vertices you could easily select the edge, hit W, then subdivide. Didn't know what you pressed to get the vertices so I had to look it.

No matter how many times I do the shrinkwrap modifier on the mouth plane, it still won't contour around the head. It just stays as a rectangle.

@quesogr7: You need to subdivide the plane! Otherwise it doesn't have enough vertices to actually morph to the shape of the mesh.

in my opinion I prefer the eyes the way they were; but if I leave them the way they first were will it affect the rest of the tutorial?

@Keith Behrens: Not at all! It's entirely up to you :) the change I made to the eyes was just an embellishment

@kbehrens44: hey Keith, Can you please elaborate your issue?

This is generally how you zoom in Blender: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/editors/3dview/navigate/navigation.html#zooming Cheers, Andy
