Life Drawing - Perspective and Scale

Perspective was something I never truly knew how to do properly. I would draw in a natural 1 point perspective without even knowing what it was. The drawings used to turn out fine but I could never draw an environment from scratch without a reference.

Doing the perspective classes taught me the different perspective types, with the most used being 1, 2 and 3 point, however I still have to develop this skill a lot more as I'm still unsure where to draw the perspective lines in some cases.

In the 2 examples in the album, one is drawing a person into a street. The street was a 1 point perspective to create a vanishing point where everything would merge. This was so we could add the same person into the scene but scaled depending on where he was placed. The other drawing is of a 2 point perspective and shows the model sitting on a 'Donkey' with their hand on a chair. The image of which is projected onto the wall. The task involved drawing perspective lines to put the subject and projection into scale with one another.
