i want to document my understanding of drawing backgrounds-
first thing i found out was that:

zooming out is your best friend

constant revisions are also your best friend

have your perspective points outside of view for a 'scene'

draw a vertical perpendicular line on the vanishing points to make drawing boxes easier

1. create a smaller box (w/ the same aspect ratio as your preferred canvas)
2. mark vanishing points outside the box then add lines
3. draw vertical perpendicular line(s) on vanishing point(s)

this is a basic idea of what i got when experimenting-
i actually tried to revise the sketch over and over to make sure it'll pay off when i line everything else.
oh yeah- if you want to add flat objects to the walls (e.g posters), just draw guidelines according to wall's perspective, draw the 'poster' flat, use the free transform and resize it to fit your already drawn guidelines
it's hard to explain in words so i'll probably make a visual guide here ^^''

update on the wallace wells shrine: i made a full on page with resources and everything so far ohmygod i need help

i like to think that hypotheticals help out with anxiety.
instead of wondering if the worse would happen, you can imagine any funny absurd thing that most likely won't happen- like what if any source of wi-fi or internet just suddenly shut down worldwide and there was a post-apocolyptic flood and you survived somehow. you want to communicate with anybody, your family, friends or seek for any source of entertainment-- what would you do?
i like to think that people would end up forming pirate clans due to the worldwide hysteria of (god forbid) no social media- that'd be so funny- like they'd use any boats/cruise ships that survived the massive flood and gather any supplies they can like actual pirates. and the navies are laughing their asses off 'cus their surviving underwater whilst chaos ensues from above- underwater facilities are most likely going to gather supplies that sank as well-
genuine hypothetical question: i wonder how the rich would feel- seeing their million dollar mansion become engulfed by nature-- BUT ANYWAYS- how id survive:

_{(i mean to clarify, to scale, the flood isn't as tall as most famous monuments-- basically as tall as a few hundred men stacked upon eachother)}

basically i'd drink the all the water until there is none left. or like id jump all the way to the stratosphere and lift the gallons of water lapis lazuli steven universe style to the point where aliens would notice the turmoil- then i would soar down back to earth (that is now in a deserted state) and destroy the earth's crust, creating collateral damage each second, blowing up the entire planet.
i just threw away all the world-building only to make an absurd answer- it isn't logical and that's fun to me
