Sweet, how do you do it with two point perspective ? I have an assignment like this for class , but we were only taught 1 point perspective, with two secondary/specially vanishing points and the Eye level, how is this done with two Vanishing points ? anything extra ?

It can be confusing at first, but it's pretty simple. You have to first define your viewpoints. The closer they are, the more distorted the drawing will be (like fisheye), so you may need to draw small or tape an extra sheet of paper or two to the sides of your drawing. If you want to draw a box with 1 corner in the middle, you draw a vertical line to define the corner, then draw 2 lines going to opposite vanishing points at top and bottom. This defines the top and bottom corners of your box. From there, you can draw the vertical lines to define the 2 sides.
Now if you place your first line above or below the eye level, you can add a top or bottom. This is the last step, so once you've made your two side vertical lines, align your ruler to the top or bottom of one vertical line and the vanishing point on the opposite side, so you're drawing a line towards the opposite side of the box, repeat for the other side and you've created your top or bottom.
Practice with different positions, lengths and shapes.

Thankyou Nokari.
I'll try it as soon as possible, Looking at your drawing and reading your response helps me understand it quite a bit more.

Very cool!
I envy you. I suck at perspective.

It's not easy when you do it freehand and try to do things quickly, but it's fun and definitely gets more dynamic results.
