Need help drawing a circle in perspective? Do you really need to study anatomy if you’re just going to be drawing from reference? Get the answers to that and much more!

In perspective, the wheel (eg its major axis) is perpendicular to the axle (the rotation axis): that's actually not true! I know this practical way of positionning a circle in perpective can be found in many books and tutorials, but it is simply mathematically incorrect. I'd be interested if anyone knew why this is often said?
I'll admit it can give a first guess (and maybe that's fine: in the end it's the believability that counts) but the steeper the angle between the axle and the horizon line, the higher the the error.

Every time I hear you say "intuitive perspective," and now in this video with skin as drapery, I keep hearing Steve (Huston) in my head (because he was the source of these ideas for me).

when you chose the line that was perpendicular to the axel to the back wheel, why did you chose that angle, that is, why is wrong if the perpendicular line would be vertical? as long as it's perpendicular it should not matter what angle it is at, no?

nevermind I see where I was wrong cheers
