Worked on Cosmow during class.

So far I've learned about the bevel function and the insert multicast. The insert multicast makes it easier to do a loop cut rather than rely on the multi-cut tool. I've also changed Cosmow's head multiple times now, but I think I got it to wear I want it to be. It looks a lot simpler. For the feet, I'm still a bit confused on how to approach it. I did fixed the feet a little bit. but it's not completed yet.  There is also the addition of the tail, rocket, collar, and bell. The bell and collar came out a bit better than the feet. I used the bevel and extrude tool for those. My next plan is to get some work on the feet and hands. The box model is almost complete.

I spent this time working on hands and feet. I had to shape the feet to make them more cubical. Before it looked like a broken box, the vertexes were not aligned very well. I think I managed to get them align on both sides. I was successful in making Cosmow's hands. They came out better than the feet. I used the bevel tool for the pinky before extruding them into 3 subdivision parts. The feet is treated a little different. I don't know how to add the toes and shape them properly to match the reference. I tried extruding the second toe on the side, but they came out weird. Hands were ok, I forgot how to duplicate the hand and snap the vertexes together to merge the two items. If I could merge the hands onto the wrists then the model would be complete.

I also tried forming the face. I used the bevel function twice to make the eyes. I'm not sure what to do fore his nose and mouth. I just left it as it is for now.
