My latest drawing of a villa porch in perspective.
It is part of an update to my perspective drawing guide.
I drew this with no rulers, just as a fun project, and used markers for drawing.
Here are some examples from my guide on drawing in perspective.
One-point perspective.
Foreshortening is key for drawing in perspective.
It means the distortion of objects when they are along the line of sight.
Look how the top part of the book is foreshortened (foreshortening is strong close to the horizon or to a vanishing point).
This is a drawing from direct observation:
Again, foreshortening is the key.
This is an example from my texture drawing guide.
The pages texture is from imagination.
One-point perspective from above
When drawing from above, the vanishing point represents the height in real life (instead of depth).
After the structure is ready, I like rendering in a realistic style.
Here is my guide for realistic drawing.
Roads
I love drawing roads in perspective.
To do that, you can use many vanishing points for the road to curve.
And, then render it.
Uphill winding road
For a road that goes up or down, use vanishing points above or below the horizon line.
Then, some guidelines for the landscape.
Lastly, render.
Trees are an important part of landscape drawing and cityscape drawing.

Two-point perspective
When an object is at an angle, you draw it in two-point perspective (and if it is above or below the horizon like, you can do it with three-point perspective).
In many cases, the vanishing points are outside the drawing paper.
A villa drawing is a good practice.
Both in one-point perspective.
And, in two-point perspective.
Here is my latest drawing again.
