Hey Lurch, finally made some time to come and check out your sketchbook now inktober is finished. You say you struggle with perspective but it looks really solid to me, at least the more common 2 point / slight 3 point ones, they are really 3D, you should be happy with those! (the shack, the scooby doo van). With that one looking up the stairs at the mansion, if you can think of it more like drawing a simple 1 point perspective (but the house is lying on its back) it can be easier than trying to draw it as if you're looking up at it. With that extreme convergence you don't want a horizon line in the shot anyway.
Perhaps more the problem for you is not establishing the perspective, but fitting in all the objects, details, finishing touches and keeping it all consistent with the space you created but not looking stiff. I find that as things start to get smaller within a scene (like the paintings, mirror, candelsticks in your fireplace drawing) getting them to conform to the scene and stay bolted to the wall or whatever becomes harder and harder and such tiny errors become so noticeable! I talked all that as if I have a solution but I don't XD just gotta keep at it man! You're really killing it tho ^^
Good luck with the ellipses and whatnot. Are you studying Scott Robertson? Did you practice any section drawing yet? That stuff can really open things up and free your mind since you develop more control to change / sculpt things.
