Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" covers drawing cylinders in perspective well. I'd also recommend practicing with a cylindrical object like a can. Draw it from different angles to study how it looks in perspective.

Glad I decided to do all of them. Helped me break though some of the rigidness of the earlier drawings and help me see proportions better. It would be awesome if someone could draw over a couple of them and do some corrections. Thanks!

These are good! The perspective on some of the pelvises are a bit wonky. I did some draw-overs.

I think you're doing really well as far as 2-point perspective goes! The tree in the image with a street and a house I would start by constructing as a cone, that way it's easier to apply perspective to it :)) Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're not doing 3-point, right? You can get some really nice effects with 3-point perspective if you use it moderately

If you use 3-point perspective in this shot you will cause distortion. 3-point perspective simulates the effect of tilting the camera up or down. That means the horizon line, which stays at the vertical level of the camera, will be out of frame. You can use 3-point distortion as a stylistic choice, but it's important to understand that you are distorting the image in a way that we would not see it with our eyes.

Hi Kamil, I really like it - especially the clouds, they seem to have a lot of thick overwhelming volume. For me as a viewer I think of your focal point as the floating island with the tree on it, subject matter wise it stands out amongst the clouds and rocks, the hue contrasts there, there's value contrast there, all great things! As a suggestion to make that area stand out even more if you want it to, is to simplify other areas. I find myself a bit distracted by the foreground rock islands, particularly the one on the bottom right. There's a lot of texture detail there that I think distracts from the focal point, when it seems like it would be more in shadow. Another thing that might help would be to suggest more depth through value, making the foreground elements more dark - if that's what you want to do. Again, these are all suggestions - can't wait to see more from you.

I was thinking the same thing with the detail, you beat me to it. I took it into photoshop and did a quick blur pass on the areas where I think the detail could be simplified.
