This is the bottom panel for the first page on my short one shot "It's the Little Things" with my three point perspective grid made with the help of various resources….

I found a perfect cube in 3 point using The Real John Lee’s videos www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRdXyC… as well as help from Chelsea’s “Perspective! for Comic Book Artists” to help find the Center of Vision, which is the point your eye is focused at, and find the station point as well as the 60 degree cone of vision, outside of which there is increased distortion.

Framed Perspective Vol. 1: Technical Perspective and Visual Storytelling by Mateu-Mestre has useful info if I was doing a building for example, in 3 point perspective and how I could use a measuring line like I had for 1 and two point, but it turned out finding a perfect cube and designating measurements was more helpful to me in this example. A Perfect cube can be rotated at angles not have a side parallel to the horizon, but with Mateu-Mestre and measuring with the measuring line coming from one corner of the cube, the measuring line needs to be parallel one of the corresponding three horizons and seemed for me at least to work better with a cube that was straight up and and down or something like say a building coming up from the ground...but what if I need to have something like a chaos emerald with the cube I use not parallel to the ground?
In any case, Mateu-Mestre uses this measuring line to divide up floors evenly for a building that’s coming up from the ground vertically, but it seemed to not work as well for me as a reference for measurement for say, also a leaning figure like Sonic that didn't come straight up from the ground.

In that case finding a perfect cube that could be used as a measurement guide, and then rotated worked better for me. All I needed to do was make sure to use the three 45 degree diagonal vanishing points on each horizon for the cube…. Though maybe I missed something and I can give the measuring line another shot? Anyway…Dan Beardshaw has good videos on rotating cubes in perspective and certain principles can apply in three point too Perspective
