Start with a simple perspective grid
Block in the horizon line
Sketch the largest shapes first
Place foreground, midground, and background layers
Use basic forms for buildings, trees, and objects
Keep the composition balanced
Add vanishing points for depth
Vary object sizes to show distance
Use overlapping shapes to create space
Add details gradually
Keep distant areas simpler
Use lighter contrast in the background
Use stronger contrast in the foreground
Match line weight to distance
Add shadows consistently with the light source
Include environmental elements
Use reference images
Check proportions often
Simplify clutter
Repeat shapes and patterns for consistency
Refine edges and textures last
