Topology is one area of 3D I was kinda worried about. While there's still plenty to learn it wasn't as tough as I thought it would be (so far, anyway). As fiddly as it can be I actually kinda enjoyed the process. One of my faces ended up pinching really weirdly but simply deleting and redoing it ended up working just fine. This lesson really drilled home the importance of good loop cuts and quads.
Love the Golden Cookie. Maybe if you ever get one, you get to visit the CG Cookie factory where they make the tutorials.
