I'm working on perspective in drawings and I can't seem to get it right especially when drawing from life. Need some help. Here are some problems I'm facing:

1) For example I try to draw my room, how can I tell where is the horizon line? And each time I look up from my sketchpad the view seems to change.

2) When I draw cubes using perspective where I connect from vanishing points, some will turn out looking a bit off/more rectangular. How can I make sure of the size? Do I need to measure precisely?

3) Objects with different sizes are even more confusing, especially when the ones with few horizon lines. How come? I thought there should be 1 horizon line in a drawing, no?


* Any suggestion on perspective drawing exercise?

Perspective is pretty hard to understand but theres this awesome book called David Chelsea- perspective for comic book artists that helps you understand.

The key in getting good at drawing is just understanding and practice

I am not much on perspective, but I will hand you all I know.

Horizon line is always at the artist's eye level. Sit at arms length from your paper and start measuring with your pencil. You need to get quite comfortable at measuring. As all drawings start from very basic, light sketches to get the overall shapes and forms down.

Most important is of course the horizon line. it is always at the Eye level.
