Step 1: Draw the horizon. Position the vanishing point on the right, as you will want to sketch the left side of the cabinet as it appears in the photograph. Check Step 1.

Step 2: Draw a rectangle representing the left side of the cabinet. The top of the cabinet must be above the horizon line, since you don't see the top of the cabinet. Therefore, the top of the cabinet is above eye level. Check Step 2.

Step 3: Draw the orthogonal lines from each corner of the rectangle. Check Step 3.

Step 4: Draw the vertical line to finish the edge of the cabinet. Add in the doors using orthogonal lines as necessary. Check Step 4.

Step 5: Erase all unnecessary lines.
