For example, the second set of pictures you posted, on the left, with the horizon line and vanishing point, you didn't use rule, so there isn't really guides in the composition, but you laid down a horizon line and a vanishing point. And it turned out pretty well I think! Generally speaking you shouldn't just "imagine" where the vanishing points exactly are when you working. Unless you are doing really quick speed paintings, or just sketching for fun, and if that's the goal here, if that's the application for this study, then i guess, good job :P and keep going bro.
The point is that the vanishing point isn't generally going to be inside my picture, like it is there. It's usually going to be far out, or everything would be ridiculously skewed. And yeah, the application is sort of to be able to get a somewhat ok looking perspective in a quick sketch, thumbnail or speedpainting. It wouldn't have to be 100% correct obviously, because I could clean it up with a proper vanishing point later, but it still shouldn't be as far off as some of these are, because this can create problems for me in the cleanup phase that I'd like to avoid. Obviously I'm not familiar enough with perspective yet. I'm not sure these studies are helping though, I might just leave them be for now. Or maybe I just have a really low frustration threshold because I'm sick atm., I don't know.
