Nice sketch, how do you plan perspective for your panels?

Thanks! Usually a bunch of different thumbnails with boxes to roughly mark where the main objects are, then I pick one. But I got lucky on the top one there. I just gave it one go with where I wanted the shelves and the table and I really liked it, so I went further and didn't bother making any other thumbnails for the scene.

Boxes. Everything is boxes, lol. Often people start out that way as well.

Me too, I just learned the Brewer method, it´s really good when you have to locate off the page vp´s.
And I watched a lot of Kim Jung Gi videos where he talks about that he never learned any of those
theories and the invisible lines that he sees. I have to find a way to train myself to have a better
feeling for perspective. It did work with proportions but I trained that for 7 years and it wasn´t easy

Kim Jung Gi always blew my mind. I genuinely think his brain works drastically different than most people and his ability to visualize with such perfection is just almost inhuman. Really crazy stuff.

Yeah, to be honest I don't use vanishing points very often. At least not in the normal sense. Usually I'll place a sort of 'main' object in the scene, like a big shelf I want to have as a sort of focal point, and then draw lines from that to create my grid. But I'll still change it up a bit and add in more objects with varying rotation to them. If I just use vanishing points from the start I always feel like there's this uncanny valley sort of feel to scene, where things are too symmetrical, if that makes sense.

There is condition called being"walleyed" which is a eye misalignment only a few % of people
have. Most people don´t do anything with it and then there are dedicated artists like
Kim Jung Gi or Leonardo Da Vinci who have the obsession for drawing and observation,
the years they put into it + they are walleyed which gives them the ability to see things
differently. I don´t have proof for that, it´s just my theory that Kim Jung Gi had that.
Leonardo da Vinci also had the ability to see "faster" than other people, that´s how he
could study the wing flap of a dragon fly

That's a good shot.
