Pretty sure what happened here is that you set your theoretical vanishing points arbitrary to the left and right, and quite close, when in fact they were much farther out. Setting the angles of the ceiling and floor lines (and all other receding lines) by sighting* would have likely produced shallower angles. If I’m correct about that, this is one of the pitfalls of drawing from theory rather than observation.<\/p>\n

Using Photoshop, I made the angles of these orthogonals much\u00a0 shallower (my best guess about how it might have looked), which brings the scene in closer. Note also my adjustment to the top of the bookcase on its receding side (on the left), making that angle less severe as well.<\/p>\n

*\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also cropped the left and right sides\u00a0 just slightly to bring us in closer. I think your cropping on the one below is too severe, and throws too much attention on that one wall only.<\/p>\n
