Ok. If I understand this correctly, obtuse become right angles (appear as perfect squares) in a close-up (When we are too close) and is the reverse with acutes, they become right angles when we are looking from afar (zoom-in). So the obtuse becomes more acute and vice-versa and the right angle is the middle point, the in-between in that process. Correct? As for the close-up and far away squares, is the same logic for an endless corridor, the space around us seems more open than the space on the distance and as we go forward the space that looked compress opens up to reveal even more compress space at the distance that we couldn't see, and the new area around us becomes a mirror of the space we were before. That's why it never seems to end, is the same effect of been so far away the moon seems to follow you and you can never get close to the horizon line, is just as we perceive distance so we would just end up circling the planet. SO TAKE THAT FLAT EARTHERS!! Did I straight away from the point of the lesson? Am I missing something?
LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

I will show you how a simple square in perspective acts as a shortcut for setting up proximity and field of vision. You will see how distance and zoom completely change the angles of a shape. Up close, angles distort and expand. Far away, they compress and flatten.

By understanding this effect, you can control the depth of your drawing right from the first shape you put on paper. I explain how to use a foreshortened square to establish your viewer's position. You will learn to choose between a wide-angle close-up or a compressed telephoto look just by altering that initial square. This gives you a reliable standard for proportion and helps you place your viewer without relying on complex measuring techniques.

A simple square dictates the depth of your drawing. Shaping it establishes proximity and field of vision. Exaggerating depth places your viewer up close. Compressing it pushes them back. This creates a standard to measure proportion.
