what style is used here?

hey guys, i’m trying to figure out what style was used here:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2375649816422152743&q=face+modeling+blender

or the .mov version:
http://www.blendernation.com/2006/08/08/siggraph-face-modeling/

it looks sort of like meta, what with the way they interact when they touch, but i can’t figure out how you would extrude that, so it’s not likely. plus, mirroring is hard to figure out (duplicate as link mebbe?).

thanks for the help,
marty

I believe he starts off with a plane to which he applies a mirror and subsurf modifier to and he works with the subsurf in Optimal Mode.

brilliant! thanks! and the circle around the eye is the same method?

It looks like it is.
