drawing exteriors

I found out how bad I was at intuitive perspective . . . I was so focused on line variation and making my first drawing light, that I messed up on the angles of things. To make it even harder, I couldn't finish it in one sitting, so I had already drawn in some cars, and stupid me forgot that those moved . . . fortunately the same cars were there, except they had moved over one or two spaces, which really threw my perspective off. I tried to fix it, but I'd already gone over it with the 4B before I realized I'd messed up. So now my drawing has horrible perspective, and I can't draw a straight line for the life of me, so the tops of buildings and the curb look like something from an expressionist painting . . . hopefully I can get some pointers today on how to fix this.

  1. I know; I suck at drawing straight lines too. And I'm not to fund of drawing outside because of insects, heat, and global warming. Plus unpleasant smells, interruptions, noises, and moving cars.

  2. haha, I don't mind the outdoors, that's the way nature is :P
    I guess the glitches are what make the piece right? I should be better at perspective by now, though, so that was disappointing.
