Here, I tried to arrange the elements and rotate them in perspective within the room. Thinking about a focal point—like a crosshair on the page—to determine where the lines should converge makes a lot of sense to me. Now it's time to experiment and play around with it. Here are some of my first attempts.
LESSON NOTES

Learn how swiveling your page can help solve tricky perspective problems in your drawings.
For anyone interested, I made these thumbnail guide sheets you can print and draw over.
i previously had the idea that perspective was like "architectural drawings" , thoses planes with all the perfect straight lines and measurements.
Up to this moment, with this course, i get that more than that , perspective is how our eyes perceive objects and what is behind that "illusion" . So far Explained tools such as grids , 3 dimentions (xyz ) , priximity , eye level , orthos are the concepts that give clarity to such phenomenon
Here, I tried to arrange the elements and rotate them in perspective within the room. Thinking about a focal point—like a crosshair on the page—to determine where the lines should converge makes a lot of sense to me. Now it's time to experiment and play around with it.

This is very interesting. After trying it out I have a few observations and a question.
- The most important point seems to be the center vision 'dot'.
- In one point we pan the box around freely and all receding lines go to the central vanishing point.
- In two point as we rotate and object the vanishing point begins to drift along the horizon or the vertical line relative to the center vanishing point of a parallel object.
If this is true why do so many beginner perspective lessons emphasize the horizon line? I personally feel it is easier for me to understand when I think about how things drift away from that center point as we manipulate objects. The horizon line seems arbitrary when I really start to think about it.
this information is so simple yet so mind opening that the inside of that mind blows upwards like a volcano eruption.. Hence mindblown!
It's like the knowledge is just right in front of your nose but that precisely why we cannot see it.
Thanks for the lesson!
Swiveling a panel of 2P Perspective room makes me realize that the corner of a room is just like flipping a page from a pop-up book. Fascinating sensation.
I got a question @Marshall Vandruff , I did 30 rooms so far, and it's been a week since my last post and still haven't done room iterations. Do I need to do 30 more again for it to count as 50? Meaning, do I need to do 50 in a row so it counts?

You don't need to do 30 more for it to count as 50.
But if you feel like you should, listen to that!
The issue is not the exact number, the issue is to make sure you have this way of thinking (upview=downlines; downview=uplines) into your instincts so you'll hardly have to think about it anymore, you'll just know where to send the lines.
50 is a safe enough number, IF you are doing them with full concentration. 30, 50, or 100... Draw the ups and downs as if you'll never get another chance to again!
I just learned something new from this little lecture on how it can help me with the room design above and below project. Thanks Marshall I'm definitly going to remember this while I draw it.
