To help get you ready for drawing in free-hand (intuitive) perspective, here are a couple of useful videos I came across in my searches:
The first video outlines some tips to keep the objects in your composition in proper in proportion and to establish guidelines to keep the composition organized well on the page. Notice how the instructor here holds the pencil correctly up until the very end. I groaned when I saw him switch how he was holding it.
In this video, the instructor is using a finished drawing to point out all the considerations he put into its construction. Everything he mentions, with the exception of value (which we just don't deal with in this class) applies to everything you will be doing in this class.
Remember, however, that--unlike the instructor in these videos--you will continue to use your ruler for a while, even now that we're moving into intuitive perspective. I hope by now that you've come to see that the ruler isn't the constricting, limiting thing you originally thought it would be and that you have, instead, discovered just how loose and free this tool can allow you to be.
Haha yeah he's the bruce lee of intuitive perspective... he doesn't need to be follow the norm... it's his idea of a one hand push up.
