Hey @somethinglolz ,
Not a dumb question at all, everyone has their own way. I watch a lesson or even an entire course twice (sometimes a third), not because I’m a slow learner, but to learn what every click does. Not just focusing on where to click but what happens when the click is clicked, what happens when changing a setting. You probably won’t learn much by copying every click as it happens.
I started like that pretty much, I followed a certain tutorial and ended up with a great looking donut, mmm donuts 🍩. But looking back I didn’t really learn much, except how to change the color of the icing. I’m a little more experienced now, but I will still watch closely without even opening Blender to follow along and then open Blender and not follow step by step, but as a guide adjusting settings and even shapes to create my own version/style. A filled doughnut instead of a do…nut with a hole, maybe a UK thing.
Another point to note, when following courses using older versions of Blender, and you may not know where everything is within the UI, you can download the version being used from blender.org to avoid some frustrations where the UI has changed quite significantly over the past couple of years.
To be honest I learnt the most from the cookie crew here at CG Cookie, the knowledge, skill and teaching style of the tutors is far and away the best you will find anywhere. I will mention @jlampel , @theluthier and @waylow because they are living legends and watch there heads grow 🤣
