      @Adam-Thornton-0 You can also establish the perspective without using straight lines or vanishing points by using foreshortening alone. Our brains can remarkably interpret the characteristics of arcs and circles and derive a perspective context. Here is an image I created that uses six circles to establish the planes of a cube.

        There is an axonometric calculator that allows you to enter the baseline angles of the front two vertical planes and returns the foreshortening scales and ellipse angles. http://tamivox.org/redbear/axono/index.html
        Here is a screenshot:

          @thomas-young Wow! That's amazing! I love that so much. Would make a great t-shirt print.
