This post is to clear up a few of the lessons I gave over the past week. It seems a few of you are not familiar with curves and nurbs. As I have previously stated (not on this blog but in lessons), a curve is a line that is made up of a collection of points.  Yes, this is an overly simplified definition, but it works for what you will be doing with curves. You cannot really see it in a render so you have to add some sort of surface to it, either by adding more curves and making nurbs or by putting an actual mesh with it. That is where the lessons came in. Curves were used to make either the outline of the model or the whole model itself, then converted to mesh.

Here is the playlist for the Blender 2.8 Tutorials. For those of you starting out in Blender it will be easier. If you are switching from Blender 2.7 or older then you may have some issues adjusting. My advice is to act like you are learning a new program from scratch, and try following the tutorial. If you try to nitpick every little difference then it will take you much longer to learn it. After you get done with the tutorials try building something simple from beginning to end. Make sure to try to texture it and output it so that you get used to the workflow.
