In my latest tutorial I go back to basics and share how beginners can get up to speed quickly with Blender's modes, mesh components, and modeling operators inside edit mode. If you're just getting started and want to plant your feet on solid ground as a modeler then this tutorial will help you get there. Along with a video guide walking you through this topic I have a very in depth article which expands on the points I make inside the tutorial. Go get unleashed!
