First-Layer quick tips

Try to be color neutral. You may find at first that it is easiest to only build on U/D, from LBL experience, or L/F/B/R or L/R from Roux experience, but after a bit of practice, color neutrality should be worth it.

Start with a sub-block, then expand. For example, form a Roux block (1x2x3) then expand to the full layer. If you're a bit more beginner, start with a 1x2x2, and expand to a Roux block then to a full layer. Just be sure to work on combining steps and focusing on optimal movecount.
