If you’re like me, then you need to use grids to nail perspective in your 2D drawings. To achieve that I have always pasted the image of a grid on my works and used the transform tool to distort it into the shape I need, creating a guideline for the rest of the detail.
I saved the grid I use as a transparent image material.
I reccomend adding this material to your favorites so that it is easily accesible. Select the grid in image material and then paste it to your cnavas. Use the transform tool under free transform and stretch the grid to show perspective.
If you don’t know how to use grids for perspective, please try looking up a tutorial. It is very useful for dynamic drawings!
I am using a mild example of a roughly drawn sink and mirror to show you how I used this effect.
You can use it for much more interesting drawings than this, but you understand the point.
I hope you can make use of it!
