Im running into a problem that when i want to create a surface from scratch i can’t seem to get verts created like i want them to. does anybody have any tips or NON VIDEO tutorials handy??
(i seem to run into a problem of either the docs and what im seeing are different or the resulting surface wants to pretzel on me)

Can you be less vague so someone can supply the most appropriate response. If it’s about simply adding additional vertices to a mesh, just read the wiki for the tools available to you
its more about creating a mesh from scratch AND I HAVE READ THE WIKI IT DOES NOT MATCH WHAT IM GETTING IN BLENDER.
im trying to make a “Dancers Blade” https://www.dropbox.com/s/1fge6zwtg27m3fd/hand.blend
as you can see im running into a problem of the verts deciding to go into crazy places (the not hand object should be FLAT)
you have to be in an orthographic view to draw in a plain. for your specific setup, numpad 7 should give you a top orthographic view. and if you select a vertex, and hit E to extrude, all the vertices created will be along the same plane.
what you can do to fix what you already have into a flat plane, is move your cursor to one of the vertices thats in the correct position (select the vertex, Shift + S > cursor to selected). then change your pivot center to 3d cursor. hit A to select all, and scale to 0 along the Z axis. (S + Z + 0).
