Problems executing perspective drawings?
One of the problems I find when drawing in perspective is that a lot of man-made structures have sunk and changed shape over time. So, following the window-lines of a terraced street down the receding path, might not appear so accurate. Also, I find it difficult if I visualise the drawing as a "perspective" drawing. I try to approach the drawing the same way I would approach a more organic figurative study...looking for more relationships between points; almost looking at it as a flat study.
Using rulers
Using a ruler gives a nice clean line and an overall, nicely structured drawing. This could work well for a drawing of modern city buildings. However, for what you gain in structure and accuracy, you lose in expression. I love landscapes pictures that can communicate perspective without being completely accurate.
