I have a question about practical application of 1 point perspective.

For example im drawing legs. One foot is slightly forward towards vanishing point. Hence i need to draw it with perspective convergence.

I can think of two methods.
Method 1. I project the front leg on lines connecting front leg and VP.
Th resulted rectangular i measure with pen and then through parallel lines 'move' to the side.

Method 2.
I start by creating big rectangular. I split it in two parts by intersecting diagonals. In second part i draw my front leg.
First part i project towards VP and inside projected rectangular build second leg.

Are there any better short cuts?
