These are better but you're still having trouble with some vanishing points, this one for example is super close and inside the page! .

Take your time with them, and so you get a bit more of practice give me 5 more boxes with shallow perspective since you seem to more or less get it! Now you only need to do it with all vanishing points shallow and outside the page. Good luck!

Next Steps:

5 more shallow perspective boxes with vanishing points outside the page

The first First 3 looked a bit extreme so thats why the few extras exist,

They have some innacuracies and you're making some mistakes, but the outer lines aren't diverging only the inner lines, good job! The problems with the inner lines appear because of previous mistakes you made, now your next goal is to figure out where you make those mistakes and how, to improve on them as you practice them more on your warmups.

A thing that can help is to think of the relationships between lines instead of just thinking about the lines in pairs. This diagram explain this more clearly:

The diagram can be pretty hard to understand at first, so if you don't understand it, don't get frustrated, keep reading it from time to time while practicing regularly, and it will click eventually.

And after you draw some more boxes you can try drawing them in this order instead, give it a shot because it might help https://imgur.com/a/DHlA3Jh

PureRef

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.
