Looks good! Though not all of the lines that need to be fully perpendicular to the horizon are, I feel like that's as a result of some general, understandable sloppiness, than a misunderstanding of the concept. (If there are any doubts, though: that third VP is at infinity (or, close enough to it, that it's safe to treat it as if it is) so those lines are all parallel. Since they're heading straight up, this makes them perpendicular to the horizon.) Anyway, feel free to move on~

thanks for the critique and reply but I'm still confused about the lines being perpendicular. Does it mean to make sure the lines that are coming from the horizon cross the vertical lines which are coming from the third vanishing point that isnt visible?

Not the lines that are coming from the horizon, the horizon itself. Here it is, on one of your frames: https://imgur.com/a/aQeHAdX The horizon is in blue, and the correction lines are in red. Notice how they intersect the horizon line at a right angle? The reasoning for it is explained here: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/6/infinity I hope this clears it up~

Thanks for the clarification. I see what mistakes I made and I'll know to hold my ruler straighter so the third vp will always go to infinity.

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
