perspective??

I've been thinking for a while that it could be fun to make a series of short posts on how to draw perspective. Two of my offline friends have expressed interest, and at least one of my LJ friends. And it's of interest to me as well, since I seem to have misplaced all the material from perspective drawing class and it couldn't hurt to brush up on certain details. I've been eyeballing my vanishing lines for years, so in some cases I'd have to look up the exact way how to construct something. (The cool thing is that once you really know how to construct a perspective, you can promptly forget most of that, just follow your gut and save a lot of time.)

Would anybody else here be interested in reading about that? And if so, is there anything you'd find particularly interesting? I'm thinking of briefly covering the most often used forms of parallel projection and then moving on to one-point, two-point, three point perspective, basically. Starting with very simple drawings, and then more complex settings.

(I learned about this stuff in German so I have to look up the English terminology... if I got it wrong let me know!)
