I think the problem is thinking in terms of "bigger". You will see more of the area of the furthest face ( as a percentage of looking at the same face of the box straight on ) as it is less turned away from you than the near one but it will be smaller in dimensions and area on the paper.

Helps?

Sorry for the really late reply!

It makes a lot of sense to think about it by comparing a face to its 100% straight-on face. I'll try to think like this while drawing my boxes and see if my confusion disappears :)

Thank you very much! :)

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
