I am looking to draw a picture with multiple vanishing points but if they dont get them exactly where I want them the picture gets thrown off how can I get my vanishing points exactly where I want them

Punctuation marks are your friend.

I was told to come here to see if I could find a mentor to teach me how to use GIMP to make sigs and avvies so that I may further my skills and provide yet another source of art of the occupants of KHI. And the only reason that I'm lookin' for a mentor is because of the fact that I am the type that must be taught how to do something in order to start my own path of whatever the subject is that I wish to study. On top of that, I'm not able to figure out programs on my own.

I was also told by Pablo, or something like that, to look for tuts. ....Too bad I ain't got any clue as to who that is.

Tuts = Tutorials. Go to the Recources section and you'll find a whole bunch there. But if you're looking for a mentor try PMing Tenacious GFX. He's actually one of the better GIMP users on the site.

EDIT: Or you can find Geocillin. But his activity is pretty questionable.

How many vanishing points are you going for?
Basically, you set up vanishing points on your horizon line, and use a ruler or judge by eye on the angle of various lines and such in relation to the vanishing points.
Here's a video on two point:
YouTube - Art Lessons : How to Use Two-Point Perspective
Get on youtube and search some videos or just type in the perspective on google. It shouldn't be too hard to find a good tutorial.
Also, this is honestly the wrong section for this question though. You might want to hop on over to Traditional Media and ask them.

Yeah, hey fellow artists. Anyway I've been gimping for a while and I'm wondering if you guys can check on how I'm progressing.
Like what i should be improving or focusing on, It'd be a great if one of you guys can tell me. ^^

EDIT:holy crap i forgot to check the last post time....
