It is relatively subtle depending on how deep the box is and where the vanishing point is.

It's a bit like a spinning disk. A spot on the outside edge is travelling more distance than a spot near the centre for the same angle of rotation.

In this case you can think of the near face being the outside dot. That face is turning away from you faster than the furthest face ( the inside dot ).

Not sure if this helps either but I thought of it so I thought I would say it. Perhaps try drawing a really big box with a lot of foreshortening then measure the edges and see if that helps. Good luck.

I think that kinda visual actually helps a little, and I will try that box idea.

Thank you very much.

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
