I'm so glad you made this video. I'm just new but I'm starting to give up because of how complicated it is. But, you posted/made this video (content) and it made me to learn it again and finally I made some progress. Thank you so much! 🥰🙏

[meddlingmoth]

This is exactly what I've been looking for! I had no idea where to start

[opalfroggy-]

thank you so much for this. i did a 3D class a few semesters ago and loved it but haven’t made time for 3D in a while but this is so inspiring, i’m def going to look at these!!

[impish]

This video is perfect! I’ve been having a hard time finding simple blender tutorials that have the style im going for, and there’s a few here that were exactly what I was looking for :) (mostly the cactus and frog one) I’m a digital artist currently trying to learn 3d but id like my 3d style to look similar to my 2d art so these are super useful

[eleanorkittens]

Thank you for compiling a wonderful list of tutorials! I also had started the donut but lost interest months ago. But seeing your boi on insta made me want to try again! Thank you!!! 🙌🙌 I look forward to seeing more of your work!

NO WAYYY I DID THE DONUT

although i gave up sooner then you did.. although i got a donut looking object so it was a success! I 3d printed it and it’s rlly
cute!!!

although i would NEVER recommend the donut, it took me so long that it demotivated me and that’s why I stopped blender.

I haven’t touched blender in years but I think I might pick it back up!

[skratsx]

I needed this video. I've been trying to start learning blender for a while now 😅

[solemngrub]

I'm so happy I found you through Insta, your creations are lovely. This reference video is amazing! I thought I'd never touch Blender again after making so many frustrating mistakes, but these videos(esp. the low-poly animal one) are SO helpful and at a beginner-friendly pace! I'm mustering up the motivation to make one of my characters in blender, if I manage to complete it and post it on Insta I'll be sure to credit you for the inspiration!!!

honestly from the bottom of my darkened, shrivelled and depressed heart, thank you for the heart-wrenchingly cute stuff you make, you've really inspired me to get up in the morning and challenge myself to make something worthwhile :D

cheers and hope to see more from you soon!! <3

Yesterday I was thinking about (didn’t even say it out-loud) how I want to try and make a game and that I want all the animals and such to be low poly then this shows up

[fialagerdahl]

Thank you so much for this video. The Bonsai tree painting sold it for me and I might just start painting flowers in Blender!

[rosie_mary]

Thank you so so much, I’m participating in a competition through my school and I’m using blender for the first time and I’ve spent hours trying to find good tutorials because I have to model Animals and a building/landscape for it, and let me tell you it is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.

Great video, Also appreciate the links in the description !

[sonny]

I am planning on buying a Wacom drawing tablet and learn blender and unity using a drawing tablet and a tablet pen instead of just only learning on a mouse and keyboard. I know that blender uses a lot of shortcut keys and I was told that using a drawing tablet makes using blender and unity a far better user friendly experience.

[argries]

Omg thank you, everyone keeps recommending the donut and if I have to struggle through another donut I'm gonna cry

[Kalud]

This video is packing everything what I need right now, thank you so much!

[xluckydog]

You are such a lifesaver x'D
I am literally in the process of modeling an Arcanine Vtuber and I had hit such a wall.
I HAD NO IDAEA THERE WAS A WHOLE VIDEO DEDICATED TO THIS FLUFFY BOI.
THANK YOU.

[MrIckIsHere]

Thank you for this video! Finding the right kind of tutorials to follow has been a big help for my learning process. A few of the ones you mentioned are ones that helped me, so I'm excited to try the others!

[Nkanyiso_K]

Where have you been all my life 😄💛 Thanks for the recommendations

[arunsar]

I am discovering this a bit late (after I have figured out the basics) but I agree I found Donut tutorial too advanced to start. Took a lot of patience to sit through it.

[neptun]

Thank you so much!! I gave up on Blender but after this video, I'm motivated again to come back! But I have one question, do you need to know how to draw to make the modeling?
Also, I really appreciate the subtitles, I'm not a native English speaker but I could understand your video with the subtitles!! ♥
