Learn how to draw a box with open flaps in perspective, step by step.
Using a real carton box as reference, this tutorial shows how to find the vanishing points, draw the closed box with the kite technique, show the inside with a contour line, and draw flaps at 180 degrees, 90 degrees, and a custom angle.
Follow along with the written version on The Design Sketchbook, with the full steps, a quick answer, and an FAQ:
