I am trying this tutorial: https://www.highend3d.com/maya/tutori...orial-303.html
But the I am running into a problem when it says "the next thing you're going to want to do is subdivide it using your split polygon tool (located under edit polygons>split polygon tool). The trick to keep in mind here is to follow the contours of your drawing while keeping the amount of subdivisions down to a minimum."
Because I can only make straight line subdivisions. Its really hard to explain. In the picture:

The subdivision has multiple lines where as when I do it, it only lets me have one straight line going from one edge to the other. Do you know how I can do what the other person did in the above image?
Thanks so much,
Louis
EDIT:: Im using Maya 8.5 so thats probably why its different for me.
