Follow along as I warm up with boxes in 2-point perspective. Try to do this for 15 minutes every day until the project video comes out.

I'm not used to ballpoint pen it was super messy but here's my first attempt I will definitely be doing this a lot more it was super fun

Drawing in two point perspective feels more natural than drawing in 1pp. I guess it's because it's more natural without having the front face facing the viewer the whole time.

Not sure about the left box... Would you draw it like this?
Also, one other question: Here we just put the vanishing points where we want, but how you decide where to put the vanishing points if you want to construct a scene (like a room in the previous examples)?

Yo! So this was a bit quiet, mostly due to the diagonal axis like Stan did in the warm up. I’ll have to rewatch the two point perspective video once again. I tried another this time without doing an infinite/out of sight vanishing point to slow help myself understand the concept more. My boxes/cubes could use some improvement. Feedback is always appreciated. Have a great day!

It’s really hard to figure out how to move something along one axis.

Some warm ups. It’s quite tricky but i can feel how i’m slowly improving.

Some 2-point perspective box fun and pen fun !
Any comments or feedback welcome.

This was fun :) only thing I wasn't sure about is the bottom of the big blue. I think the angle was just so similar it turned out like this?

Ok, so I spent waaaaay too much time on this, went down a countless rabbit holes but and in the end it turned out to be pretty simple. So there, a cube rotating in place in two point perspective :)

Did the book stack before watching the warmup video, but man it's an exercice in keeping clean lines and not crowding areas too much. I'll definitely use this warmup for thinking about every lines and for getting back into perspective.
Also, so close with the books. I almost had clean enough line if only I didn't decide to pass again on the extended lines going to their vanishing points with colored pencils. After that, I tried with thumbnails so I had to think about clean lines so it can read well. I think that worked well.
But hey, let me say Stan, add me to the list of those who like perspective. Sure, I see the restriction when you limit yourself to these guidelines, but trying to get this concept right and then going intuitive really gets me excited about the effect it can have on a composition.

Here are some of my warm up boxes.
I tend to get things a bit messy in comparison to other posts.
I've been using a 2B and 4B pencil because they are easy to rub out.
I'm thinking this might not be such a good idea?
That said, to move on I had to ignore my mess.
How would you approach drawing a large number of boxes, like 300 and keep it interesting. Would that be possible in one perspective or would you have to use several perspective views? I think you'd need a strategy because it would be easy to repeat the same thing rather than draw 300 different boxes !
I realise it would be more that a warm up !
The bottom left 1 Point box; looks okay but the bottom left inside edge doesn't go to the VP, if it did, I think the back wall would look very small ?
My warmups: I need to do many more before I could call it a warm up !
Any advice on my warmups would be great, thanks.

Attempting to draw boxes digitally. What a totally different feeling.

Just to keep along with warm ups even if only for a few minutes a day. I am surprised at how fun and relaxing doing just boxes can be...

Warm up! Lines are messy...

try to figure out different corners' effect. I would say the up right one is the best angle for my room. But i dunno how come all of them seems zoom in any advice on that. ...
