In this video, you will discover 21 rules of linear perspective.
There are two main kinds of perspective - linear and aerial.  Linear perspective deals with distortions, while aerial with the appearance of objects depending on depth. Distortions include foreshortening, distorted angles, or bent lines and are managed in different ways by various types of perspective. It is not about avoiding foreshortening or skewed angles, but minimising them. There is no such type of perspective that would be suited for every case. That is why there are so many different types of perspective.
In some cases, to deal with distortions, instead of one-, two-, or three-point perspective, it is better to use the perceptive perspective. In this type of perspective, all vertical lines remain strictly vertical in drawing, but horizontal vanishing lines are not straight, but curved. They also converge into the vanishing point on the horizon, but this point is different than in the previous types. The perceptive perspective is suitable for interior drawings. One artwork can combine several types of perspective. In the Life Drawing Academy course, as an art tutor, I often receive questions on how to depict objects in perspective if you do not see the vanishing points or if such points are beyond the drawing area. You need to measure visible angles of vanishing lines from life, instead of looking for virtual vanishing points. To realistically draw greatly foreshortened objects, it is better to use contours than outlines.
