LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
This lesson is all about how distance affects what you see. We'll compare a truck viewed from a few steps away to the same truck from 80 steps away. You'll see how a wide angle of vision up close creates strong perspective, while a narrow angle from far away makes things look almost isometric. I'll break down how the size, shape, and visible sides of the truck change. This will help you imagine and draw any object from any distance.

![Marshall Vandruff]()
The distance between you and your subject changes everything.
When you are close, the angle is wide and parts look very different in size. But when you step far back, the angle narrows. This compresses the view, making the near and far parts look almost the same size.
Here's my attempt at drawing the truck from farther away. I drew it in a manner where I wouldn't be able to see the top of the ramp-but at the sametime it feels like I didn't flatten it out enough.
After finishing the lesson I now know I made a mistake drawing my perspective box too long all while under the impression drawing the truck further back would give the illusion of depth. I gotta get used to drawing far away images as if I'm zoomed in.
