Salvaging the back corner

12:52 PM, Friday December 26th 2025

Heyo, so I'm doing my 250 box challenge currently on 165/250 and I know the back corner isn't supposed to our focus and dependent on how accurate our other lines are to their respective VPs. When it comes to resolving and salvaging the corner, do you just align it to the best average? For example, if lines X and Y line up pretty well to the VPs but Z ends up being quite off. Do you A - Find the best average between all 3, which leads to them all to have their convergences off somewhat or diverging. B - Just line up X and Y and draw Z to wherever X and Y meet. I've been doing A the whole time.

That's also a question I came up with (currently at 50/250 Boxes). If I can line up two edges towards the back corner but not the third and the third is kinda close I do your Option A. If the third one is way of I tend to backtrack the other edges/corners to guess which one is the culprit for the missalignment and do Option B where the "bad corner" is the one I draw last. After drawing the line extensions it's often becoming clearer where the mistake occured but that's also not always the case (especially if I missed multiple edges). I guess the takeaway from this is that you don't have to focus on the placement of the back corner but rather on the other edges and corners. If they are correct the back corner falls into the right place easily.

Keep on drawing :)

Yeah, that's fair. I should just focus on getting the other lines accurate to their vanishing points. I just keep getting distracted by it and questioning if I'm doing things the right way.

Thank you for your advice! Keep going forward with your boxes too!

Hi Mushroomtoad, I have the same issue. I thing A is better because in general it looks best!

Proko's Figure Drawing Fundamentals

Stan Prokopenko's had been teaching figure drawing as far back as I can remember, even when I was just a regular student myself. It's safe to say that when it comes to figure drawing, his tutelage is among the best.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
