I hope you guys like it, I know its not the best, pretty horrible, but I've never used these vector points before, and I'm just figuring it out. Got any tips? I'd love to hear them.

Hello Jeff

First of, it aint too bad, I would use some stretch and squash on those tomatoes, would make them look tons better.

Your frig door could use some perspective too, here's a trick I just discover about AS perspective points while I was searching for a way to help you, you can set a pivot point for them real easy, meaning you could draw an inside of a frig door then open it in perspective real easy.

1. Draw your door with two sides at frame zero, with a line of points running in the middle, that will be your pivot axis.

2. go to a frame, say, 12, use the Perspective Points tool then drag your mouse util you get your door open the way you want it.

3. Delete the side you do not need.
