To master perspective drawing, you need only basic tools: a sharp HB pencil, paper, and erasers. Mechanical pencils and printer paper are fine. Use a ruler! Don’t worry, it's not cheating. Understanding angles is crucial to learning perspective: protractors, T-squares, and triangles help. Axonometric perspective uses fixed angles without vanishing points. Linear perspective uses vanishing points; more flexible but harder to learn. Practice drawing toward vanishing points freehand. Keep tools simple and focus on learning.

Learning about these tools are helpful, but to truly get a full grasp on perspective check out the premium course - proko.com/perspective
