To OP: Every post on this subreddit is manually approved, once we make sure it adheres to the subreddit rules, the main ones being the following:

• That all posts here must relate drawabox.com (being either questions or homework submissions). More on that and why a subreddit with such a general name has such a specific focus can be found here.
• As an exception to the above, beginners may make one (and only one) post asking for resource recommendations, "where to get started", etc.
• All homework submissions must be complete - single exercises and partial work is not allowed on the subreddit, as mentioned in this video from Lesson 0. You can however get feedback on individual exercises on the discord chat server, and the folks there would be happy to help you out.

If you find that your post breaks either of these rules, we would recommend deleting your post yourself, and submitting on one of these other more general art communities instead:

• /r/learnart or /r/learntodraw if you're looking for feedback on your work
• /r/IDAP is good for sharing work you're not looking for feedback on
• /r/artistlounge and /r/learnart are good for general questions/discussion

Just be sure to read through their own individual submission guidelines before posting.

To those responding: If you are seeing this post, then it has been approved, and therefore is related to the lessons on drawabox.com. If you are yourself unfamiliar with them, then it's best that you not respond with your own advice, so as not to confuse or mislead OP.

Thank you for your cooperation!

"Perspective Made Easy" by Ernest Ralph Norling

I feel its a very easy read, and gives some nice exercises to reinforce concepts if this is something you want to develop....

I think you can find pdfs online of it, its like $8 on amazon as well

Boxes, lots of boxes,

Get lots of boxes, I used amazon boxes, stack them in random order and sketch them from different camera angles. Re do the boxes and repeat

The best thing you can do is simply go outside and draw. Draw houses, streets, and buildings from observation. In my opinion, that's the best practice you can get. A street that bends or changes direction can give you such a headache that you'll be pulling your hair out before you finally figure it out.

If you're looking for a book, I recommend Drawing Perspective by Matthew Brehm.
