In art, perspective is a convoluted concept. Oh? You need me to draw lines? A grid? Ohhh I see, because rules, well fuck you, fuck your rules, just draw, if you suck draw better, end of, maybe instead of confusing people with your silly artist words, just SHOW them how to draw, because none of your words make sense.
Everything is a fucking outline, or a fucking gradient. You don't need a giant scaffold to build a fucking outline, and people have turned that scaffolding into an artform itself, stop it, just fucking draw, a lot, a lot a lot, your rules and guides won't save you from being a shitty artist, just work at it, it's very hard and boring studying outlines, using magic lines that don't exist in reality to help guide you is just a waste of time, there is nothing wrong with doing art your way, stop feeling like a failure because you don't understand fake concepts explained by some jackass who's only trying to confuse you with words and explanations instead of just drawing.
I once saw a video of an autistic man who was able to recreate skylines of cities perfectly, with no reference or perspective lines, and all he needed to do was look at it once, and he could draw that shit in a room later with no reference. Quit doubting your abilities and working within an others framework.
@Jazzy_Butts but I'm not autistic
