Extruding Tool

So I was looking up different tutorials on how to make a character when I came across this one involving the extruding tool. It is amazing to see how simple it could be to make a character. This entire character is made by stretching one box over and over in different directions. I practiced a little and though mine is no where near as good as the one in the video I was pretty impressed with myself that I could make a character like that so easily. Also the way you can cut down the boxiness of it and instantly turn it into a gingerbread looking character is really cool. I think I'm going to be using this tool an awful lot. It seems to just make things a little easier and I'm so glad I found it.
