Follow the instructions for creating the shapes that don’t follow the rules needed for ‘square-based’ shapes. Using a grid drawn in perspective it is quite easy to transfer shapes onto it by noting where particular features cross the reference (straight) grid.
It is at this stage that drawings with very close vanishing points become quite distorted. In just the same way that a very wide angle lens on a camera gives distorted shapes in the foreground so too does the close positioning of VP1 and VP2.
Drawings tend to be more realistic if the vanishing points are as far apart as possible.
