Drawing a cube in perspective

Are there proportions or ratios to use when drawing a cube in perspective. I've found that the depth of the cube should be half the height/ width in single point perspective at least. This just works for me but idk if it's "Perfect" and also Im sure it changes depending on the angle.
You're asking the right question. A lot of people don't even think about this and just eyeball it. There is not ratio that will work from every angle. If you want to measure the depth accurately you need to place a measuring point on the horizon line. In 1-point perspective, the measuring point is 45º from the station point. It's a bit more complicated in 2-point.
I dont know if the method John Guy mention is part of any of the lessons of proko 2.0 but you can find it on marshall vendrufs course on perspective. Its not for free though. Here is a link to the course. If you studie perspective you might consider buying it anyway.
