The secret to good box is converging vanishing line and long straight line and being able to visualize inside the form of an object by drawing through first .I recommend drawing plane first learning to develop the understanding of how to do grid and check like floor then you take the plane and you draw some plane over and under the horizon and then you add to those plane 4 verticale line going from each corner going up which is basically your base for a cube for 1 and 2 point perspective we ain't talking about 3d perspective visualization that bit advance perhaps for now.
A good box is like a house the foundation of the first line you put down is going to dictate how strong the box will be. So my advice to is to start simple drawing a box near the edge of the page starting with a vertical or an horizontal line according to the nearest similar guideline that exist outside of the drawing for example the frame of the page is a perfect guideline it not a line you draw in this case but the segment of the frame of the page that become a guideline.You can also always check how straight a line is by creating a square between a pair of vertical and horizontal intersecting as if you were measuring an angle since that basically what you are doing without a angle measuring tool.
So with that understanding we can measure and refer to frame of any page we draw on as guideline we decide what is the best first line we should make i personally believe a vertical is more natural to draw due to the nature of the range of movement of the wrist. The key is to choose a space where you can easily start to work your way inward and use your first cube itself as a guideline for future other object in the scene will remembering that you can always refer to the frame of the page for visual measuring.
Here an example of how it can be literally done but the intention is to visualize this at one point the number represent the cube that i judge to be near the easiest guideline to measure from. Obviously there also a other guideline i did not mention so far it the horizon line itself which is a very useful guideline obviously to measure in 1 point perspective but also in 2 point perspective this one give us as you might have figure out the a nice horizontal guideline that at the middle of the page HOW CONVINIENT!!!
The hardest thing is to decide where to put the first cube but just put one down and don't think to much about it your not doing anything that require planning until you actually create composition. What really require planning is how to get to shape that are far away from your guideline i refer to them as the middle shape is not that problematic since you have the horizon as a guide the most problematic shape are the shape that are toward the middle but not so close to the frame those require other shape for visual guideline. Think as each box as a guideline specially in 1 point perspective but also in 2 point perspective since you get vertical guideline created by the box.
That why you see me extend line from one shape to the other and also using the horizon instead of the frame of the page.
Anyway don't hesitate to ask me question if you got any.
