Second in the series.
This is something I see from many artists, even experienced ones who aught to really know better!
Again, these are simple drawings meant just to get the point across. The "Avoid Corridor Streets" tip from last time still applies here -- which is more of something you'd worry about AFTER you do a basic planning of the city block you're mapping out.
As always, this is a tip to make you aware! Your own observation in real life is what will really help the most with this kind of stuff. Enjoy!

I, like many others, struggle with perspective in a city scene ... this is the clearest instruction I've come across so far! Thanks so much for doing this!
Very nice tuts, like the idea, and tbh helped alot to me 
and thx for giving me inspiration to draw now xD
btw, i'd suggest you to write, to use real life photographs for better and more quality work, either for inspiration , or even copying perspective, it can help alot for beginners and more experienced use it too..
keep up !

Pardon the spamming, but as I type this I'm also trying out small exercises like the ones you posted.
I love how you prove your point and make a 10 times better city illustration than I have ever made, just by shifting the horizon and focus points, and draw boxes for houses.
This inspires me to start drawing cities. Thank you

For all those beginners like me: I tried to change my 'academic perspective' some time ago, and I have to say it works, absolutely, fox-orian is damn right. This is a good example (please Fox correct me if this perspective is wrong) [link]
OMG, thank you. As someone who fails spectacularly at perspective (but is contemplating doing a comic FULL OF ARCHITECTURE WHY) this is super helpful. It's a simple reminder, but one of those things that is easy to overlook if it's not pointed out.
Thank you so much for this, I have the worst time drawing cityscapes.
