One way what I’m doing here is a bit easier is that I’m not actually doing a perspective sketch. This is a parallel projection, where parallel lines in reality remain parallel in the drawing. That means it doesn’t look exactly like anything you might actually see, but it’s close and much easier to draw.
The style of the second drawing is a bit easier than the first. You start by sketching everything that’s in one plane, with vertical lines vertical and horizontal lines that are perpendicular to you horizontal. To make things the right size you can use a ruler and pick some a scale: 1 inch to the foot or something. Then when you need to draw a horizontal lines that are “coming out of the page” instead make them at an angle. Exactly which angle you choose doesn’t matter that much, but once you’ve picked that angle you should make sure anything else parallel uses exactly the same angle.
I haven’t taken a class, but this also isn’t something I was born able to do. Just lots of doing it until I have results I like.
