Most of the time your vanishing points will not be on the page, it's simply unrealistic in 2 point!. one might be but both will not!.
If your still a beginner and having trouble keeping your points in check you could always lay out some painters tape on your table for your horizon line and put an X where you want your VP!. You could even tape a piece of string where you want your VP and use that as a line guide!. That way even if the VP is 5 feet away you will have a strait line going right to it!.
As time goes on you will develop more of a natural eye for it!. you'll be able to stand back from your work and just know that the line is too steep or shallow!.
The important thing when beginning is taking your time and really thinking about what your doing!. Speed will come!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Personally, I would draw it at a comfortable size, and then enlarge on a photocopier!. Or, if you need to show workings to a tutor in class, then have your paper on the middle of a big table or on the floor, surrounded by large pieces of newspaper with the vanishing point on that can be discarded afterwards (promise - I have done this)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
