* these drawings arent mine - they are here for example *
I've been drawing for a few months now and i get the concept of perspective, manipulating things in space - vanishing points - eye level / horizon line but at the same time i also don't get it when displayed in context.

A scene can have infinite vanishing points right, so what's the point of keeping vanishing points in mind whilst constructing a scene - unless its like a linear scene - e.g., street full of houses.

Do you only need to keep the eye level in mind when making a scene? If so then can i literally draw whatever i want and as long as it fits within the context of the eye level it works? How does that make sense - what if i draw a 2 point perspective box and a 3 point perspective box next to eachother whilst staying in alignment with the camera level, will that still make sense?! How does one know if everything's in the right perspective if its an organic form like a body?
Do you judge it based on how much of the top / bottom planes you can see according on the camera angle? How do people draw scenes when the vanishing point is completely off the page?! I see people using perspective grids for drawing the body when their lines don't even converge with the grids, what am i missing?!

Sorry for the rant - I don't know if im over-complicating things but multiple wrinkles have formed on my brain, i've watched countless videos and even brought books, but i still just don't get it.

It has been years since I have last had a pencil in my hand so it doesn't surprise me that my "work" came out as it looks lol.

How can I improve other than concentrating more on the anatomy?

Please don't roast me too hard

these are all 10-15 minute studies for landscape/scenery. I am terrible with this area in art and have no idea what I’m doing most of the time lol.

if anyone has any helpful guidelines or techniques please share! im very lost haha

what can I do to it to make it look more detailed...☹️ I honestly thought it wasn't that bad

omgggg it’s been so fun!! the only time i ever drew on my ipad was years agooooo and i didn’t use color. shoutout to sketchbook!! thats the app ive been using and its been so fun learning more about shading and highlights etc. ive been sketching with pencil and paper for so long, adding color and depth is cool!

im not done with this croissant yet but its come so far!! yesterday i finished up some strawberries and it was sooo hard took me days but so rewarding at the end!

shes supposed to be crossing her arms. i've been stuck with how to fix em. oh and, any other criticisms/suggestions are welcome

I feel like the legs look kinda weird but it might be just me. I just noticed after finishing it.

I was never into drawing, I always struggled whenever I had to draw anything, am now 22 and slowly realising i should learn to draw so I am able to express myself.

So for now I am practicing basic shapes particularly circles,

I have done all these within the span of two months ( yes I skipped many days or weeks) but I am able to be consistent fir three weeks now....

Any suggestions? or think I am improving?

I wonder if i've done the muscles lines correctly or if i should modify them ?

I’m doing perspective work for the first time ever and the lower body looks totally weird. How can I fix it and make it better?

I bought some Derwent Graphitint pencils and this was my first time using them.
