Perfect Perspective Add-On For Blender Grease Pencil
NOTE: Does not support 4.3+ At this time. A new version is underway.
A simple perspective toolkit for Blender Grease Pencil.
Key Features:
Create Personalized Perspective Grids
Drawing Assists always point you to your vanishing points
These have various customizations and features documented below.
Questions? Concerns? Please reach out!
New features 1.1.3
"Clicky" Mode. You can now drag and drop vanishing points (represented by empties) rather than using numerical coordinates. Make sure your blender viewport is in Object mode.
Randomization option
Here are a couple time lapse sketches to get a sense of how this works (no audio).
The first video below will show how to setup the tool for usage. The second shows a quick sketch made using the tool
Notes:
To move the vanishing points in Clicky mode, you must be in object mode (2D Animation defaults to Draw mode).
To see the Perspective Assists, you must have a Grease Pencil object selected (Normally you will select the Grease Pencil object you are drawing on, and switch to draw mode.)

Known Issues / Limitations:
Using Perspective Assists with manual rotation of Grease Pencil objects is not supported at this time (Scale + Move works fine)
While archived grids can be used as reference, they cannot be used with Perspective Assists (This will be fixed in a later release)
For the Three Point perspective grid, some unexpected behavior may occur If multiple VPs and the Obs Pos have the same X and/or Y values. Tweak values slightly to avoid issues.
