Drawing Lesson: Remove a Section of a Box

Okay, so now we've got this line. So let's take, let's say we have this full box, let's take a big chunk out of it. How do we get rid of, say, this part right here, or we could get rid of this part, or this part, or this part, or not. Or we could subdivide it in more, but let's just do the basics first. So now we have this line here, this line here, well that's great, but what does that do us? Well, since we're trying to get rid of this part here, we want to show this back line. So what we do is we want to take this, because we're assuming that this part runs all the way around the box, so we can take that, and run it to this parallel of this vanishing point. (Oops, I missed it). Okay, so we've got that line. Now it's kind of getting confusing so, I understand if you get confused, but kind of slow down and take a good look at it, and your eyes will be able to figure it out. So, we've got this line here, and this line that runs this way across the box. So we could make the bottom one if you want to, but we're going to keep that so, if there's not an extra line there, it will just get confusing, but we will draw the parallel line. Now it looks like the parallel line is going to run parallel with this line here. Now we've got our corner of our box, so this point essentially should be this point on the other side of the box. And there you have it, we have a cut through.
