Having trouble following a modeling tutorial

[SlyFox_0421]

Hey all - I’m really sorry, this is probably a super dumb question / topic but I am relatively new to Blender so maybe that’ll give me an excuse xD.

I’ve been following a tutorial on youtube by Wayward Art Co (Tutorial Link ) and I am on the second vid of his series.

To make a head he gets cube, subdivides smooth, and then adds loop cuts while still in Object Mode. IDK if it’s bc he’s using 2.77 and they got rid of that or what but every time I add the loop cut in Edit Mode my subdivided cube loops absolutely NOTHING like his. I’m super lost and getting more frustrated with every attempt so any help y’all can offer would be so amazing. Thank you in advance.

I’ve included what I keep getting. Unfortunately as a new user I can only upload one image ^^

This is what his looks like and his edge loops do not deform the object whatsoever.

You have added a Subdivision Surface modifier. He didn’t. To get the same in Blender 2.8.

Add a cube
Go into Edit mode
Select All with A
Right-click and choose Subdivide
In the Last Operator Panel bottom left change Smoothness to 1.0

Thank you SO much - I truly appreciate it!!!
