A new drawing.

36. Thanks! I didn't learn from zip, though. I studied art in college, oh so many years ago.

Please don't get discouraged. It will begin to feel natural, I promise. Every once in a while, I refresh my memory about how to plot out perspective, but honestly, that makes my brain hurt. I'm just not wired that way. I don't plot anything out; I don't look for vanishing points; I just keep checking my angles against what I'm looking at.

Taking your time with some drawings matters, because it teaches you to keep erasing when you see that something is off, and to persevere when you feel like starting over. But also, frequent sketching from observation will help quite a bit. I think you might get comfortable with perspective by going out with a sketchbook and doing rough, 20-30 minute sketches of local streetscapes. Besides, what could be better than going outside and drawing on a beautiful day? Especially in the early morning or late afternoon, when the light is your friend.
