Drawing Lesson: Foundations for a Box

Okay, now that we have this done, you're saying, "Well, we've got all these lines going everywhere on this side. What good does it do us"? Well, you want to find how these lines are a starting point to build the other parts of the box, or a cutaway box if you will. So, while we've got this, let's do one more here. So, what I just taught you, the same thing over here. So, start with the corners, make an "x" across the box, one, two. So we have the center of this wall right here, let's run a parallel line across that, and let's find the other side. So, in theory, if we built it right, this part should connect here and here, just by following this line, which looks like we built it right, so, bingo. Okay, now you can kind of get an idea of what I'm kind of looking at here. So we have this kind of "x" shape, and this kind of "x" shape, and you can kind of tell that we've got almost like other boxes built in together. Now if we were to continue this and put, like, one up here, we could continue all the way through, but we don't have to do that. So we have this line here, and if we take this line parallel with this, it's going to continue the top of this box, the cut through to the top, so let's do that. Line it up.
