I am on box 15 right now, and I was drawing line extensions from the corners since my lines quite often come out wobbly or miss the corner entirely, but now I am having second thoughts if it's even correct.
As stated in Lesson 1 Rough Perspective exercise, both ways are fine. It simply depends on what you want to check. Edges test your execution, while corners test your intent. You can try both ways on different pages and choose the one you like more.
One thing to note is that you should stick to one extension method on a page.
All of this is taken from Lesson 1 Rough Perspective exercise, Edges or Corners section. Give it one more read!
Michael Hampton is one of my favourite figure drawing teachers, specifically because of how he approaches things from a basis of structure, which as you have probably noted from Drawabox, is a big priority for me. Gesture however is the opposite of structure however - they both exist at opposite ends of a spectrum, where structure promotes solidity and structure (and can on its own result in stiffness and rigidity), gesture focuses on motion and fluidity, which can result in things that are ephemeral, not quite feeling solid and stable.
With structure and spatial reasoning in his very bones, he still provides an excellent exploration of gesture, but in a visual language in something that we here appreciate greatly, and that's not something you can find everywhere.
