THEN SAY NO MORE

I, myself, am horrible at understanding what the heck perspective is - so I lurked around pixiv, and suddenly stumbled upon some amazing tutorials. Of course, they're all in Japanese, but easy to follow; even if you don't know the language.

[Click on the pictures to go to the actual tutorial]
EDIT: sorry, apparently the links and pictures didn't show before!

This one explains how the horizon line follows the eye level of a person, and how other people shorter/taller would look like relative to the 'main' person, whose eye level we follow. It's very simple, but it cleared up a lot on my part.

This one shows how you determine a line to be a certain height, and then use it as a scale for the rest of the drawing. The artist illustrates and portrays it in a quite humorous way! [It's the same artist as the previous one]

The next one here explains how to draw perspective lines relative to a person, and from then on drawing the surroundings using these guidelines. I don't know if it's just me, but I've never understood how to do that, since the human body is an organic form - and many perspective tutorials only ever show you how to do it with geometric forms (a lot of boxes and straight lines).

Well, this was it for now - as I mentioned before, it's just something I stumbled upon - and I don't know if anyone will read this lmao
--I just found it helpful on my own part, and I couldn't help but share it with others if it would help them too!
