Tips on drawing perspective?

Hi guys,
Whenever I try to draw something with a dynamic pose/perspective that's new to me, it always looks really fucking weird. Using references can help but it's rarely transferable what I'm having in mind. I try to just visualize it but it never turns out the way I'm envisioning it. Any tipperinos for a perspective n00b?

Have you tried building from primitives? Like, a cylinder for an arm.

Yeah, but inconsistently- like I'll sometimes start a whole drawing with primitive pieces, and sometimes I'll draw primitive sketches of a whole. It helps but I can't always nail it quite right in both situations

Well I'm not a pro or anything, but perspective looks weird already. Forshortening and lengthening in regards to camera angle or field of view is not what we tell our brains is normal at first as we begin to study art. It's all about 8 heads and Loomis structure etc. So I suppose breaking out of those confines and looking at an arm that's twice as long or half as short can make you "think" it's not right when it is.
My advice, try exaggerating it as you practice and don't use hard angles. It may be you're feeling uncomfortable with the dynamic so keep at it. I'd like to see what you've drawn sometime.

I can recommend drawabox.com, I've worked my way up to lesson 5 and my perspective/construction skills have greatly improved.

Yeah, it's definitely something you have to train yourself on. I think something looks really weird and roll with it anyways, but when I finish it still looks really weird most of the time lol :~(. If I adjust a LOT I can get it semi-decent, but it's still a struggle. I guess it's just more practice, and that I should study some art more because it's not something I really do. I'm working on something now so I'll post it, either here or on another thread. If I sign something off with meow, you'll know it's me.
