Same scene, 24 mm

What to look at

Vanishing points close together; the crate's edges converge hard.

The door at 8 m looks far away; the crate at 4 m looks close. Depth is exaggerated.

Compare the 50 mm and 85 mm references: same objects, same distances.

What this scene is for

The first of three references with the same crate, figure and door framed at the same size from different distances. This is the wide one: the camera is close, the depth is stretched and the edges splay. Use it to decide which lens a drawing should imitate before you start.

The mistake it settles

Thinking a wide lens distorts objects. It does not; it just puts the camera close, and close things look big. What changes is the relationship between near and far, which is why the crate dwarfs the door here and matches it at 85 mm.

The camera

Measured off this render

Taken from the same camera model the tool draws with, on the 1340 × 754 PNG above.

Draw it from these numbers

1. Rule the horizon across the sheet at 56% of the picture height — 422 px down on this 754 px render. Every other line in the scene is measured from it.
2. Two vanishing points on that line: 112 px from the left edge, and 760 px beyond the right edge — close enough to reach on a larger sheet.
3. Set the scale from the 1.75 m figure at 6.3 m: 261 px tall, with 91% of it below the horizon. That share is the camera height divided by the object's height (1.6 ÷ 1.75 m), and it is the same for every object of that height anywhere in the picture.

Open the reference in the tool to move the camera, change the lens, or add your own objects at real sizes; the share link keeps your version. Draw over the PNG at 30–50% opacity in any app with layers.
