Takes practice and sometimes also some personal style of simplification so you don't have to draw a Rembrandt every time. Perhaps instead of approaching this as an academic subject you should try looking at books for artists. As a kid I enjoyed How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way by Stan Lee and John Buscema. It has some tricks to seeing the body as a collection of boxes. Also maybe look at more advanced stuff like Dynamic Figure Drawing by Burne Hogarth. | |

I am only good at finding illustrative counterexamples by taking things to the extreme (PhD in physics and such). I would have to invest as much work as you do, probably more so. | |
| Oct 30, 2021 at 2:24 | comment | added | Chris | @Wrzlprmft Hello, you seem to know a thing or two about perspective drawing. I'm new to it. Could I ask you some questions outside of Stack Exchange? The story is that II hired a professional illustrator to draw some diagrams for an exercise manual. I think he is accustomed to drawing people standing up, but many of my exercises are lying down. He told me he is saving difficulty with the perspective. So, I've been studying perspective myself to understand his difficulty. I have a PhD in physics, so this should not be beyond my capability. Anyway, could I tell you more by email? | |
