The corner toward you
Turn the box so no face is parallel to the picture plane. Verticals stay vertical. Everything else runs to one of two points.
- 1
Near vertical first
The closest edge is a true vertical, and it is the only edge at true height. Draw it before the sides.
- 2
Two points, one horizon
From the top and bottom of that edge, lines run left and right to vanishing points. Both points sit on eye level. If one is higher, the edge was not horizontal in the world.
- 3
Give the points room
When the two points crowd together, the corner stretches. You are standing too close to the picture plane. Push the points apart until the angle feels calm.

Set eye level. Both vanishing points will have to live on it.
