damn your perspective stuff is dope! I'm envious that you've managed to stick to such a technical approach.

I'm still working on the basics of perspective, just starting Scott Robertsons book, but I can already sympathise with the problems your having finding a happy medium between accuracy and speed. Everyone else seems to hve this lid back approach that still looks amazing and I'm drawing crosses in boxes and it still looks crap! haha.

I guess you already saw Rene Aigners perspective video, he goes through some PS stuff in it, in case you didn't already catch it;

As you were dicussing style, and trying to make those studies look more interesting, you could just throw in some simple single colour, like a grey overlay for the entire plane (or grey background), then a tiny bit of suggested ground, or a horizon with basic shapes to anchor it down - it's not a lot but it should break up the whiteness. I can see from your other peice that you have no problem rendering things fully, but that could be nice for drawings you don't want to fully develop. You could even throw in some real basic shadow and highlight so it's got that product design sketch kinda feel?

I'm havin trouble finding examples of what I mean but these are a start;

Visual library wise, it looks like you've come up with a good approach already - I was going to suggest you could also look at model kits like the maschinen krieger stuff for shapes and concept inspiration.

Sorry bout the giant post - I'm probably coming in well under your skill level but hopefully some of this is useful!

You're seriously smashing it here tho man, I'm looking forward to seeing more.
