I am only 10 minutes in and this is likely the first and only tutorial I have seen that shows you how to do basic navigation and object manipulation using the UI elements instead of just telling me a bunch of shortcuts that I am just gonna forget about the moment I am done. And I found a lot of other cool things just exploring all the other buttons.
I wish I found this one a lot sooner instead of wasting days of making donuts over and over, wondering why nothing ever stuck.

Rip all the people who keep forgetting to click back in the project and pushed number keys in YT I feel your pain friend.

The most modeling I'd done before this tutorial was a 45 minute intro seminar at a convention pre-covid where I was more skilled than most of the class but not good enough to understand how to do anything on my own.

This girl was the first modeling project I've ever completed. And it looks GOOD. I changed the colors on mine just for fun, and it's so exciting to see just how different yet similar my results are.

Thank you so much for this video. I do have one suggestion for future beginner videos, however:

I regularly had to rewind multiple times to keep up when you were doing quick steps and button combos (namely, the cuff transition at the wrists, the adjustments of the head to make her face more face shaped, and several steps in the hair.
My suggestion here is to just take a beat between the different hotkey combos, so the viewer actually has a chance to process what you've just said and try it! Not a long pause or anything, that would be too much.
And who knows, maybe I'm the one who's not understanding at full speed here lmao.

My guy, you have created the absolute ultimatum in welcoming people into Blender 3D modeling! Congratulations

This was legit my first tutorial I EVER followed for blender, and I love how you gave basic step by step instructions, and all the keystrokes and general knowledge I didn't know I needed. Yeah it probably took me about 3-4 hours with all the pausing, backtracking and re-watching I did, but the fact that I was able to go from absolutely no experience to producing this in an afternoon was awesome to experience. Thank you so much for this tutorial, this gave me a lot of helpful knowledge, and having a finished project to look at made me see what I learned, and all the possibilities and things I want to learn next. Thanks again for the tutorial, you did some awesome work!

after 5 months of buying a laptop for blender and doing nothing with it but play games, this has finally gotten me out of the "screw around with cubes" phase! I turned her into an alien, gave her a pointy nose and big ol eyes, and silly little lollipop antennas just for fun :) Thanks for the amazing tutorial, dude!

Something specific about this video I really appreciated was how quick the results could be visualized. Like it's all well and good to have a multi-hour video series explaining a huge step-by-step process, but the hour long length and low poly model did a lot to keep me feeling like I was making progress. Also, verbally saying the hotkeys paired with the visualization (Like saying "S to scale, G to move") did SO MUCH to help me remember the hotkeys and get them into muscle memory. Even after taking a break for a week I remembered all the hotkeys very quickly which felt satisfying. Looking forward to doing more in Blender and I absolutely have this video to thank for the motivation.

I also discovered that you can press "9" on the num pad to go to the opposite side of the view point, like if you're currently in the front and press 9 it will send you to the back view. It works the same for the rest sides too. (I'm not sure if it works on computers but it did work on my laptop)

This video made me actually sit down and learn how to use Blender. I decided to use my own art as a 3D reference and it came out amazingly. Thank you so much for this detailed and informative video!!

[julian]

This tutorial was excellent. I’m training myself to be the 3D artist on ouf low poly video game for a game jam and this was so helpful and easy to understand. Thank you so much.
Take care.

[juxtapode]

I'm discovering really nice tips with this tutorial series that I've never seen in other videos, they're making the learning process much smoother! Thanks!

[shadowbeast]

Thank you so much! It’s been my dream to be able to make my own characters and eventually my own games, but I’ve gotten so stuck on how to start! I really appreciate the time you spent to offer this to thousands of people for free! Again, thank you!

[mr.nugatory]

this is by far the best beginners tutorial I have ever watched. I cannot even fathom how brand new I was and looking at other videos to learn that I haven't even gotten a clue on what I was doing. the details you go to to teach others for something simple for modelling for a low poly character. I quickly grasped on everything you said and had to rewind most parts that made me wonder if that can be extended on my own. Bro i hope you are have a great time doing the things you love. thank you very much.

[brettchalupa]

This tutorial has been really helpful for someone new to Blender wanting to make low poly models for games. The video being a model from 0 to finished is quite helpful. Thanks for making it!

[HeyStarzo]

Found this to be extremely useful for learning tips, tricks and important key bindings essential for modeling. took around 3-5 hours making sure I understand a lot what was going on as well as adding extra bits of details to my own design and turned out fantastic for first starting out! Stuck with it to the end and was such a worth while experience. Thanks a ton!

[pigagu]

just wanna say, extremely comprehensive tutorial that is easy to follow. not only did i walk away from this with something cool to show off, but i feel like i gained a lot towards what i actually want to do, which is modeling people instead of donuts or whatnot. thank you so much for this!

[Terukizawa]

you dont know how proud i felt when i edited a shape even by a little lmao

[hiraeth]

your character modelling tutorials are the best i've ever seen i've picked up blender this last week and already am seeing improvement thanks to you and other creators massive W my friend

[nomoyohoo]

This is AMAZING I have followed many, many blender tutorials for characters in the past and always got overwhelmed and gave up. This is literally the best tutorial ever and I can finally feel like I can model something!!!
Thank you!

[strawberrycreme]

This tutorial is so good... genuinely amazed with your ability to explain everything with such ease. I don't feel confused as a beginner and it's so in depth!! Thank you!!
