As for the perspective, I guess it was one of the reasons why I gave up on my mangaka career lol.

Talking about perspective, here's an old drawing, I hate to draw the backgrounds, it took me hours just to do this simple sketch:
haha, you just need to practice perspective more man. Never give up!


Did you use vanishing points here? as you can see, most of your lines are going off in random directions. Maybe your vanishing points were off the page and you had to guess??

you have to make sure everything lines up to those two specific points (for 2 point perspective)

It's great, I think I'm the only one here who doesn't use any kind of software or application on the drawings, but damn if I had money to pay for them...
I'm pretty sure most people here who use photoshop didn't actually buy it...
Anyways... there are many free applications out there that are quite good.

Check out GIMP. It's a really popular program for the kinda stuff you seem to do.
