great video man, very helpful but I have a few questions. Why did you create a plane to put the image as texture instead of dropping it straight into the side view then moving it? Second Q, why didn't you make a reaonable guess and subdivide the box initially instead of going through the hassle of creating edge loops? Thanks!!!

@1Mperios First question, because I didn't have photoshop at the time and couldn't flip the image to face left? I think it was. Second Q, Well I never used this way to model anything, I love using my edge loops :), but if you want to use the subdivide you can, remember theres no correct way to model, so where I add edge loops thats my thing, if you add subdivsions thats yours :), we will get same outcome, but we model in different styles. Thanks dude!
