Is this a bad way to model

[animation man hi]

What I do is make the basic shape of the model so it looks 2D and than copy and past it and put the two next to each other and connect them. Is this a bad way to model.

Got a screenshot? Is it the outline of the shape? If so, then it's ok. But make sure you don't connect internal cps and make internal patches.

Not really bad modelling: there's a button to do exactly what you want (extrude - shortcut [E])

yep, depends on what you're modeling.

 

for a person: bad.

 

for a soda can: good.

I agree... it's a good way to start but it will only get you along 'so' far...
