Options for the types of perspectives are explained in this post and they are very simple, yet effective. Beginners first should understand which perspective is which and then how to draw in it. First of all there are several types of perspectives: one-point, two-point, three-point, four-point, zero-point an foreshortening. Each of these have different focus and there are one or more sources of the vanishing points. Basically, after you determine your horizon and vanishing points, everything is just following the intermingling lines.
