There isn't much to learn ... just google '2 point perspective' and '3 point perspective'. Don't be affraid to draw perspective lines whenever you have some problems.
The biggest error people do while painting is bending the perspective the closer it gets to the 'camera' - or actually using two different perspectives for background and foregrund ( I'm guilty of it myself ). You made that mistake on some of your paintings as well .

I would recommend you to download some free 3d modeling program ( like Bender ), create some simple scenes ( few boxes and ground ),  play with different camera positions and options and then paint over it in Photoshop or whatever program you use. This is a fantastic technique ( if you can call it that way ) to paint something from some extreme points of view. I love to use it myself and it's a great way to practice ... here's a video where I used 3d model to paint www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrZZ9V… .


And really don't be ashamed to use perspective lines or any other helpers ( like the 3d scenes ) in your future works. People may say that it's unprofessional but that's not true, don't listen to them.

3 D program is a nice tip. I'll give it a try.

Wow, awesome speedpainting, I hope you do more videos like that!

I don't care about "professional" or "unprofessional". At least I want find comfortable ways to paint whats in my head and increase my skill.
ATM my artwork looks sometimes done from a child ^^

Thanks a lot for your advice, I keep practicing and best wishes to you!

Don't fool yourself. Your art looks great !

Painting from your head can be quite difficult. Ideas in your head can change soo quickly that you usually end up with completly different painting.
It's good idea ( at least for me ) to quickly paint some simple shapes that represents your vision without worrying about perspective or any other details. As you can see on this 'making of' picture, I started with some simple, ugly shapes just to capture the idea (I'm sure noone except me would know what those shape were suppose to represent ), then I started adding other elements that sticked in my head for longer; like colors and lighting ( I'm not sure if everyones head works the same tho ). When all that was set, I started to play with details and final rendering.

Ty for the compliment, i didn't want to fish for it.

You're absolutley right, ideas change very fast
I've watched some tutorials and now I ever have this voice in my had "block it in, block it in" . There are a lot of newbee mistakes I still do but i'm happy when I looking on my first digital draw painting and the last one. I can see that I get better and better. 

I'm very glad to get your advice. I hope one day i'm as good as you, you really inspire me.
