it's really hard to say if you are making progress or not, because you aren't ever drawing perspective guidelines. You are just eyeballing all of your problems without having a means to check is you working is correct or not.
Laying over some perspective lines shows that you *almost* get it, but then things are warped, bendy, off balance and not quite right. You win no browny points for not using guidelines, and really you should be using them as a way to check your work against what you think is right. treat the grid like an answer sheet. You may need to get some larger paper at first so that you can do this, but eventually you'll be able to lay in guidelines without having the vanishing points on the page.

As an example here is a sketch i did recently and the perspective grid i used for it.

If you are a bit confused by this, i'd recommend reading the perspective sections in loomis's figure drawing for all it's worth.
Hope that helps!

Drawing out of perspective is like singing out of tune. I'll throw a shoe at you if you do it.
