Hello everyone, new to the software and cad community. I’m currently going through a learning curve, I am using the mac and ipad versions.

I have attached an image and would like to know if someone could help me with my thought process when approaching something like this. I am wanting to create the little oval indentations on this toothbrush holder, what would be the best way to approach this.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

Before the shell, subtract a rotated body from the main.  
Here is a tutorial :
