If remote linking is too much of a pain, let me know. I'll just copy/paste/ and relink the images here. But If I don't have to, I don't want to.

Hey, no problem! If anyone thinks of anything I left out, let me know. I'd love to add to it.

Learning how to make simple perfect cube filled perspective grids in sketchup and moving them to photoshop or manga studio is a useful thing. When you need to keep proportions constant and deal with perspective distortion which the radiating perspective grids don't really handle that well.

Hey that's pretty cool. I don't have Manga Studio, I didn't know it had those features.

For the record, this post wasn't about how to draw perspective, it was about, if drawing in Photoshop, how to use the tools in Photoshop to draw in Perspective. I agree there are better tools for drawing perspective. I didn't know MangaStudio was one of them though.
