    I did the same thing with that husky. I got to it and I was like – nope, not ready. 

    Best thing to do when you’re ready to move on from training wheels but not quite ready to take them off is to find an intermediate step.

    Find a different project where the instructor does show how it’s done, but instead of following along – turn off the video and try it yourself first. Then you can check your work.

    Instead of a test, it becomes homework with a chance to check your work and redo it. 

    I don’t know which projects would be best for that. I know the orb retopology course helped me. Also this website:  https://topologyguides.com//

    There is a sharp learning curve between starting to understand topology and making your own topology decisions, and best I can figure no one really knows how to climb up it other than making a lot of stuff and seeing what happens. Source: been trying to climb up there for months 😅

    Edit: I would also suggest, as an intermediate step, doing the logo, face and revolver again but without watching the instructions
