What I want to show you is how you go about it and also some mistakes that you might not notice at first sight. If we look at the vanishing point which is where all of these dotted lines converge you can see that certain mistakes are jumping out and I've flagged them in white. Those are the corners of the three cubes that you see. There are boxes that you can see there and they are definitely moving at some weird angle. And if you look closely you'll see too that the start position and the stop position of the corners of the cubes don't really seem to be behaving as they should do with proper perspective. So again the thing to remember is the horizon line and the vanishing point. And it's not always obvious where this might be. We're in the…
