Try drawing in one-point perspective. Stick with one vanishing point, don't worry about two or three. Think of it like a theater play, where you see characters in full with clear poses. Since you're looking straight ahead, there's no foreshortening, which makes it great for practicing proportions.
Do a few sketches and play with the horizon line, high and low, to get different drama in your composition. Lean on overlaps to create depth, and try to draw your humans in full. Please post your work in the comments below, I'd love to see them!
This discussion board is available for premium students.
Some of my sketches in Essex. I really like using the biro. Such an easy tool for location sketching!

Hey! Good work on your compositions, they look nicely balanced. I like that most of the rendering and contrast is in the foreground.
Some of your forms are a little unstable and seem to be slanting, especially your building in the third sketch. Be more intentional in the initial sketching stage and include some horizontal and vertical lines to my grid and your art will be much more balanced in the end.

Hey!
You've got a lot of good ideas for your compositions. Your forms are uneven and slanted in some areas, with your most balanced sketch being the cafe, which has the most thoroughly outlined grid.
I think at this point, focus on the fundamental shapes of your forms before you begin rendering details. Sketch everything as boxes initially so that once you get to the rendering stage, the perspective of your forms will be easier to depict.
First assignment done, I enjoyed this very much. I'll be adding this to my sketch warm up since it will help improve my storyboard skills :)

Hi, thanks so much for submitting!
I like the gestures of your characters and the amount you were able to include in your sketches.
For some of your forms, however, it is not clear what their perspective is supposed to be, particularly some of the blocks and buildings. I'd put an overlay of a 1-point perspective grid on top of your sketches and compare how your forms and lines match up.
Not very confidant with perspective, and struggled a bit to get stuff down. One of these is the interior of the boat I live on, and the others are done from imagination. Just scrappy thumbnails - it’s difficult getting my brain working the right way to get overlaps or more interesting things happening. Wanted to get something down, though, even if they’re a bit rough. (The hotel desk one is the one I’m probably happiest with, despite the fact that it’s a bit in danger of not being perspective enough. The idea is that the letters above him are saying WELCOME at a ridiculous size.)
Doesn't feel like I "got" how to use one point perspective but putting these here anyway.
First and second set were from imagination with some slight reference use, third set was from reference.
Since we drew a plane during the demo and a book about planes fell into my hands, I decided tobdo some more, before moving on. But I think they are full of mistakes..

You're doing some cool work here, but I'd emphasize the importance of drawing the grid underneath.
If I were you, I'd focus on drawing your horizon line, and convergence lines, then keep them in over the top just to make sure you know where everything is supposed to be.
I threw in a rough 1 point grid over the top here and change your horizon line so it's flat. But the concept is the exact same.
Thank you for the course! The first page is my initial attempts, mostly from imagination, which didn't come out too well (the scaling on them is off). For the second page I studied one-point perspective drawings from one of my favorite artists Shinji Kimura, from a movie he worked on called MFKZ, and I learned a lot about how to proportion everything out. Then the final eight are from imagination and a few photos I've taken. I kept the figures low-detail, like the example Rembert showed, but between the first and final attempts I think I got a lot better at fleshing them out and sizing them properly in the frame!
Excellent variety here! Also, great tip on using frames from movies as a way to practice and capture story based elements in perspective.
Here is my first attempts I have been an artist who has not really practiced perspective and today I can definitely identify it’s a weakness
I drew this scenes from imagination to see what i can do and it’s clear more practice is needed
thank you for your teachings the lessons so far are great !
Well, somehow I feel like my drawings got worse, the more I did ..
It is definitely better to draw bigger. And I need to overcome the urge to use low horizon lines as floor 🫣
Having a great time with this course so far. Excellent content and pacing! Here are a few thumbnails I came up with from imagination. This is really something I need to add to my daily drawing routine.
Did a couple compositions from imagination, the last one sort of a play on the last one in the video. Pen started to die mid way through so lines got a bit rough! Any feedback would be appreciated!

Hi, glad you're liking ballpoint so far!
Your compositions are good, and I like to see that you're inking as well. Overall, your perspective feels mostly correct but I would like to see either more grids in your work as some of your forms look a bit out of place, i.e. the houses in your first drawing.
Also, some areas in your drawings are unclear and busy because of how you're shading. When you're shading a form, your hatching should follow along with the perspective. To keep your drawing balanced, forms should become simplistic and less rendered when they recede towards the background. Focus instead on rendering out the foreground.
Liking ballpoint— especially the gradient, but I feel like everything is in focus (no fault of the medium/tool) just couldn’t successfully convey focal length ( everything feels in focus).even though it was raining. IDK. Moving on to the next lesson.
Wow ! Thank you so much for breaking down so easy and the best part is that we are not using rulers ! Can’t wait to master it ! Feedback would be appreciated!

Hello, thanks for submitting!
I noticed with your 1-point perspective that although you are drawing out your perspective lines, you should also include the horizontal and vertical grid lines going towards the vanishing point as well. This will help level out your drawings as right now, the buildings in your first picture seem to be leaning to the right when they should be upright and straight if this is in 1-point perspective.
As for the building on the right, it is not very clear whether there are windows or if there are additional structures coming out of it. I would suggest drawing the forms together so they are aligned correctly.
Also, don't forget that when you're adding shadows, follow the perspective lines.
