@kirsten-mcg Yeah it's not easy! I often find myself working on something from a compositional POV then realize that the perspective doesn't make sense and have to start reworking things.
I need to do this more too, but I feel one way is to build in your perspective grid from the start of your compositional thumbnailing, even if it's just really rough horizon and converging lines going to the VP.
And I do think doing perspective exercises and "perspective master copies" does help you build more intuition. In the Loomis book I linked above he has several drawing examples demonstrating the use of different perspective techniques. I spent some time before copying his compositions and studying/understanding how he builds them with perspective. It ingrains the principles much better than just reading and looking at the images passively. I'm sure you could find other artists' whose work and use of perspective you admire and practise master copies too!
