*Are there
There was this book about dynamic perspective for comic book artists. Despite the name, it was very good and covered all sorts of perspective comprehensively including like 3 types of curvilinear ones and when to use them.

that image alone is all you really need to know about perspective. Drawing a building? Imagine it as a big box in perspective and make sure all your lines follow their starting point to the horizon.
fancy.

D'amelio's book is pretty good if all you want is a underlying theory for drawings/paintings that don't need to be super precise
For hardcore geometric level stuff, I don't think you can beat Bruce Macevoy's pages on the subject:

Start off with 'Perspective Made Easy' by Ernest Norling. there isn't a particular need to read through the mechanical perspective section at the end but it might help if you're a beginner looking to cut your teeth on something more complex. Try and do all the exercises from the end of each section.
Then move on to Robertson - Not exclusively perspective based, but Scott Robertson deals heavily with the topic in his book series, especially helpful in dealing with how to apply it to your art. Do the same with the exercises from that book until you internalise the process of 'seeing through the form'. Start with 'Drawing and Sketching Objects and Environments from Your Imagination'.
It's a grind at first but these two books should help take your art to the next level if you take your time with them.
I like NMA's series with a guy named Erik Olson. I tried Norling first, the Robertson. Then went for Olson. So far, the latter has helped me the most.

fug I started working through how to draw but I quickly realized my straight lines are sub par so I'm grinding those every day now.

Marshall Vandruff made it so easy even a certified retard would get it. Guy's a brilliant teacher.

What about freelance retards?

I followed the step by step for the "draw a plane" perspective grid and it was going swell until Step 9, where my C-D line was nowhere near the same position as his. Must have fucked up the foreshortening but perspective seems so simple that I don't even know how I fucked up there.

Impressive how straight he does those lines but fuck that noise, I just use sketchbook pro.

How to Draw by Scott Robertson
do NOT buy the David Chelsea book
>>2467610
watch the marshall vandruff series. I've used like every well-known resource and I think it's the best
>>2471862
I bought it because I couldn't find a torrent; wasn't even one on peers. It's only $12.

+(You). He's actually pretty funny and tells some cute stories. I liked his moon anecdote.

Are likes 1 and 2 parallel or converging? I'm too tired after work to figure out this shit, but my perspective vanishing points in sketchbook pro that match the minor axis and line 0 result in lines 1 and 2 converging much faster.
>>2471118
Can confirm. Made perspective much less of a beast for me. Not boring to listen to. Easily worth the $12.

Wait im dumb, his is just way further off the page. Man fuck working 8-5 and studying
>>2467610
use 3d models and perspective grids
it's 2016
>>2473722
implying I want to set that shit up for every single drawing
>>2473737
well if you freehand it it's always going to be wrong

No. None at all
