The above image is by artist Aakash Nihalani. He specializes in creating forms(3D shapes) that appear to be diving in and out of doors or windows. I thought he would be a perfect artist to look at and then utilize 2 point perspective to create similar artwork. I should point out that the above image does not actually use 2 point perspective.
Here's what I'm looking for:
-Do you have two vanishing points?
-Do all of your lines go to one of the vanishing points?
-Can I clearly see three sides of your form?
How's your craftsmanship?
Student examples to come....

Two Point Perspective City:
Buildings are a great subject when using two point perspective. When constructing your city, here is what I'm looking for:
1. Do you have two vanishing points?
2. Do all of your diagonal lines end up at the vanishing points?
3. Do you have any horizontal lines? I hope not! They don't exist in 2 pt perspective(unless you are on the horizon line).
4. Do you have a horizon line?
Here are some examples:
