about "draw yourself into a corner"
"When drawing a plant, I start with the smallest details because it’s easier to build up into the space of the page than to be trapped in an outline and draw yourself into a corner."
Here below is my comprehension:
"build up into the space of the page:" meaning of composition of a picture,
"to be trapped in an outline" means to be confused by a whole outline.
"draw yourself into a corner" convey the meaning of don't know how to deal with the complex picture.
Who tell me that weather my understanding is correct or not. I'd appreciate your help.

"build up into the space of the page" means to expand the picture outwards from a small detail. "to be trapped in an outline" means to not have enough space to draw the small detail within an outline that you have already drawn. "draw yourself into a corner" would often seem figurative, meaning to get oneself into an awkward situation (though "paint" is more usual than "draw"), but here there is the literal connection too.
