I'm working my way through the 250 box challenge, and am having problems understanding which is the front of the box, and often seem to shade in the wrong one. While rewatching the video for this, Uncomfortable just states that it would look funny if you chose the wrong box, but the one that he stated would be wrong looks like the right one to me.
Can someone explain it a bit clearer to me please?
If the link for the clip where he discusses this didn't work, it's https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxaILXR05WeS9eZ7XmAwXpyALStiJ1-YQP
Thank you

That one's entirely on me - my wording there was deeply confusing and unclear. I did not mean to say that there's one correct plane for adding hatching to. Rather, each box consists of three faces that point towards the viewer, and three faces that are oriented away from the viewer. We can pick any one of the three facing the viewer to fill with hatching, in order to distinguish between these two sets, and clarify which side is which.

Hi,
Thank you for answering this.
I'd like to add that I love the program so far, and am floored by how much better my understanding of perspective is already. I have recommended it to several of my family already. Thanks for the time that you put into it.
:-)
