nice tutorial but why the #$%@ do u choose that as a reference image u sick #$%@

hello :) great tutorial, but i have a noob question, lol. how does one edit the vertices or edges on both sides of the x axis without deleting half the faces and then duplicate special them -1 scale on the x axis, which is nice for some purposes, but have a whole symmetrical mesh , then edit the vertices or edges mirrored seems a lot nicer for stuff like this. or did i miss something and you did it like i described above? googled a lot, but all i find tuts telling me to delete one half of the mesh and duplicate that as instance on the other side... thanks :)
