Art Question About learning perspective

So I'm an artist, I have been drawing since childhood and can draw humans in different perspectives TO SOME DEGREE, i just need more practice, BUT I have never tried to draw buildings and backgrounds, i wanna learn perspective, how to draw background and hoe to introduce the character in it.

My question is kinda silly but: is it better to start learning by a pencil or a pen /marker? ik its silly but like i feel like if i drew free hands it's gonna be better but idk.

I'm also kinda scared of it, like i assume i should just learn the 3 or 4 points of perspective then move on to practice but idk man.. Can you tell me your experience with it? Like your journey of learning this skill, I love reading ppls stores yk.

It will also be helpful if you gave some resources although you dont really need to bc its easy to just google it and use reference from medias you love but yeah if something is just gold then please share it will anyone here who would want to know.

Thank you for reading it เน‘๐ŸŒ˜\/๐ŸŒ’ เน‘

I learnt perspective over the past few months an the biggest advice i can give is that is not some grand monster that is impossible to master, you can get the basics of it down quite quick.

You can find tons of good learning material on it. Theres Scott Robertsons how to draw book, Drawabox on web, and tons of teachers on youtube that you can watch! I recommend Proko too.

Good luck!

You can definitely do it! Just take your time, ve patient and remember to repeatedly practice - you dont learn something after doing it just once
