Should I just start drawing perspective lines whenever I draw?
My work is always very poorly proportioned and oddly placed in space. I don't play with perspective very often, but I know I need to get a good understanding of it.
Should I just always draw perspective lines during the sketch? I don't see any reason not to.
do it

do it.
perspective is what separates pros from amateurs.
also, very usefull tool for getting that 3D look and also correct placing of shadows.

Do you mean with objects and environments or with people/animals/whatever?
If you're fucking up people proportions, you need to draw people, and draw them from life, not fucking comic books. Tracing is a great tool to use here, but listen-you never trace something from the get go. Try to draw it from life or your reference photo, then once you're done and you start correcting things, it can really help to simply lay it over your ref picture and see what you really fucked up. It saves a lot of time, but don't trace from the get go or Satan will rot your benis off and the entire world will scorn and shun you.
But you can also draw perspective from life, and it's nice to get out of the basement once in awhile. Just go sit in a shop or on a bench and sketch out the basic perspective of the room or street you're looking at.
Of course you can look at pictures and do the same thing.

start by redrawing that pepe in a 3 point perspective
Remember to have two perceptive points. One ahead and one to the side. I found this makes the image look more real as humans are never perfectly 180 degrees infront of something.

You're asking people this question even though you seem to already have an answer. why?
I don't know
Anyway yes you should if it will help with your accuracy and proportions. Literally every artist who draws with depth in mind will use perspective lines.

If you think you should, you should. Period.

Pro tip for making a perfect perspective grid in seconds:
Use the polygon tool. In its options set it to a star shape give it 99 points and make the angle as sharp as possible. Essentially this will create a star shape but its points are so thin that its basically a perfect 1 point perspective grid. It's fucking amazing. Im on a phone so i i cant really give you a link to a tutorial so just youtube search polygon perspective tool or something
