Good finds hseiken. i rarely do any perspective drawing anymore but those were impressive vids. I really liked the sketcchbook pro 2015 one. Made a lot of sense to me. Maybe I missed something but the inkscape video did not seem to be complete. As you say, if I want to draw something with Xara in perspective I go to great lengths to set things up the way I understand it and it is a real pain. Maybe I missed something else also but I didn't see any way of setting the (station point), by that I mean exactly where I want to look, but then I need to try them out to see for sure. I personally do not like corner perspectives. I prefer to set things up so I am looking at what I want to feature, that is just one tool but to me an important one to help put across the point of the illustration. There are a couple of other things I am wondering about also. Looks like I have my work cut out for me to investigate those things huh.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
