I have been using Paint Tool Sai for my earlier perspective drawings, partly because it's what I'm used to and partly because it boots up faster than any other art program I have besides MSPaint. However JosephCow recommended the free program Krita to me because it has something called "perspective assistants", so I used Krita for my last eight drawings.
Although doing research, I saw that Sai does have something similar (maybe not as advanced as Krita's), I just hadn't thought of using it. Clip Studio Paint also has perspective rulers that lines can snap too. Photoshop's perspective tools doesn't seem as advanced from what little I know, but one might be able to change that with Lazy Nezumi.
For now I feel like using Krita, but I might switch to CSP in the future because it has a brush I like, that it seems can't be imported into Krita (though maybe Krita has a similar brush that I don't know of).
I learned how to use the perspective assistants by reading this guide:
https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/pa...tants.html
I expect most who read these forums already know about these perspective tools, I'm just writing this for myself and an associate who might want to learn from my notes.
I looked up more info on Scott Robertson and Erik Olson and I think I have changed my mind and might go with Olson's course next instead, after I'm done with this book (6 more problems left), saving Robertson for later, because I found more than one person saying Robertson is harder to understand and Olson helps with that. Example of one guy's experience:

I just hope I don't burn out on perspective, Olson's course is kind of long.
