Help with perspective.

I just can't grasp the idea. I think I have everything else down but when I try to into perspective my mind just becomes retarded.

Any tips or resources? What's the best way to learn? And does anyone have any advice or hints to make learning/comprehending perspective easier?

perspective made easy by norling is good

hard to give advice, especially for me since i didnt need to learn / understand perspective (maths pro here)

but applying perspective - for example with a human body - is hardcore. dont get frustrated over lack of exercise

do you have any pictures to demonstrate your struggle with perspective?

Here's something I did yesterday.
I already notice mistakes looking at it now.

Hand is jutting out impossibly, the upper body is too large in proportion to her lower body.
The leg farther from the viewer looks weird but I can't place exactly why.

also try David Chelsea's perspective for comic book artists

There is a video series about a guy teaching perspective in a class vilppu style, it helped me a tone more than perspective made easy, i can't remember the name, I'll tell you when I get home if no one knows what i am talking about.

well fuck me i dont think ill be a big help with that picture
my first desperate approach would be to check the anatomy: even if you hadnt noticed the perspective is off (for example with her left leg) one can notice it that way

for the slim chance you dont know this site already: posemaniacs has 3d figures from different angles which you can rotate. cant harm to practice with them

i take it you draw figures more intuitively rather than constructive?
i see you have lines for vanishing points but i cant see how you used them for her figure
try to construct the human body very stiff and frontal view inside a box. mark where the hipbones, shoulders, knees (everything you use to construct) are in relation to the box around it.
then draw that box in perspective and use the marks to construct the previous figure in perspective
taking this from a stiff pose to something as dynamic as your picture will be a major pain in the ass i guess

You have scale problems. redline would be my approach into fixing it. Fish lense distortion means close things are bigger than usual, but the foot is way closer to the camera than the hand. The hand you made would actually be fucking huge in relation to the rest of the body. And that's the trick. If you 'straighten' the pose in your head, everything should be in proportion. with extreme perspectives doing perspective mapping can hurt the gesture so sometimes its good to just do it in your head.

This is by far the most useful perspective lessons I've ever come across.

Thanks so much.

When you get better at perspective in general (or while you are) a good thing to do would be to make a small thumbnail sketch of the subject of your drawing if they were in a flat perspective, so you can refer back to it for the pose and proportions, rather than winging it and getting vertigo trying to figure it out along the way.

...I'm still pretty mediocre though because I never actively practice with the subjects that don't come naturally to me.

Don't be like me.
