These are just scrapped boxes as I wanted to see if I was going about this the wrong way. Kind of thought I made that clear with the label 'scrapped' before I continue on. My other attempts with closer points became a bit distorted. I know about the extended lines.
Once I draw my Y toward the points, trying to draw the other lines towards the point ends up off. I did read through the instructions and video. I'll do a another attempt. Also if you're getting annoyed helping, that's cool. I can get help from discord or somewhere else.

I find it a bit harder to do with the points on the page. I might be focusing too much on the points. I'm probably placing them too close. This is most likely simple and I'm over thinking it or something.

I think I'm starting to get it now. Do they need to go exactly to the vanishing point or close to the v. point? As for moving the points close, won't that distort the box?

I read the foreshortening page and I'm kind of still not sure how to pull it off.
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
