How do I draw straight lines in a perspective grid in Photoshop, like to Procreate's Drawing Assist?

[Ekpap]

Hello All!

I recently upgraded from my iPad to a drawing tablet, and have consequentally switched from Procreate to Photoshop. It has been a learning process to say the least, and I've noticed many features are in different places and named different things, but I still can't figure out how to draw straight lines in a grid similar to Procreate's Drawing Assist feature. So far, I've figured out how to make a grid using the polygon tool, and then draw straight lines in the grid by using the shift-click techqniue, but it takes much longer than what I am used to and is much less precise.

Is there a way to turn on a drawing-assist like feature in photoshop? Let me know!

Hello, at the time of writting this photoshop does not have perspective grid drawing. It's a feature I have asked for awhile and made a request again recently. (https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-ideas/feature-request-perspective-grid-drawing/id...)

You can create a grid using a lot of different methods but you can not "snap" to them  to draw like you can in procreate or pretty much every art software on the market right now. I hope photoshop does finally catches up to the times as they have included it in fresno, but for serious desktop work it really should be in photoshop. They have symmertry drawing already so why not perspective. I know so many artist would love this feature if they had it to save time when designing envionments/drawing.

In addition there a few plugins that help make grids outside of using polygon tool in starburst mode. One is called perspective tools v2.0 by Sergio which makes a grid but doesnt snap, and the other is called lazy nazumi that does snap feature but I find it really complicated to create a grid with this one to use in daily workflow. The creator had good intentions but we really need something natively in the photoshop that easily creates a 1,2, and 3 point perspective. Even fish eye would be great but we need a native tool that creates and helps the artist by snapping drawn lines to the vanishing point. Hopefully photoshop will finally catch up to the times with this issue.

@Ekpap  tagged their post as "macOS" and Lazy Nezumi Pro is (sadly) Windows only.

Thank you for the answer! And Unfortunatly I do have MacOS so the plugin won't work for me. I'll keep looking though, and hope that Adobe eventually adds this future. (I upvoted the request!) Thank you!
