Description
Another tutorial, my first that actually deals with drawing skills. I tried to keep this very concise, more pictures than words, so there might not be as much information as should be. Hopefully its still helpful, and I'm always happy to clarify stuff, just let me know.BTW, this tutorial is almost, but not quite, for beginners. It assumes some basic exposure to linear perspective, and is designed to help people get more comfortable with perspective, and find new and better ways to use it.
Edit: Wow, much thanks for the great positive response to this. If I had known this was going to see this much traffic, I would have checked my spelling more carefully.
Edit 2: Wow, a DD... now I REALLY wish I had checked my spelling and grammar.

Don't worry. If anything, more people will give this the well-deserved attention (grammar nazis EVERYWHERE).
Really nifty and helpful. Thanks a lot for that.

Nice tutorial on perspective! I've used perspective before, but I never thought about how it's used for suggesting things like closeness and distance and such. I'll be applying these techniques from now on. Thanks for making this!

This was really helpful. Despite doing a bit of engineering in school a Looong time ago, perspective has always been tough

Well done!
Most of the time I don't have a scale near me, so freehand perspective comes in handy a lot.
