first time using cinema 4d

On my first time using cinema 4d we got shown how to navigate the interface (move around the software) in one video then we learnt how to move, scale and rotate.

These are the icons to move scale and rotate

We then got asked to make a basic human shape using only cubes just to show we can use these 3 Icon's 

So I started with a cube as a basic model, I then used the Scale tool to make it longer but keep it in the same place, I also put a red material on top of the cube.

 I then added 2 more cubes, used the scale tool to make the cubes thinner but make them longer, I then moved them both into position so you could clearly see they were the arms.

 I then added 2 more cubes for the legs, I put a blue material on these to make them look like jeans. I made the cubes thinner and longer and then moved them down to the bottom of the cube.

 I then made a smaller cube for the neck and moved it above the body.

 I then made a sphere and put a skin coloured material on it, made it smaller and put it on the top of the neck cube

 I then added some forearms and made it look a bit like a superman type arm shape. I made more cubes and moved one of them up at the end of the arm and moved the other forearm to the bottom of the other arm.

This is the final piece rendered.
