"CRAIG BROWDER: Now, we've got the distance of this right here so we got to make sure this is going to be the same distance. Well, how do you do that? Well, basically, you're just going to start from the bottom just like we always do, start from the bottom. End it up the vanishing point. Just draw in, okay, so that's drawn through. All right, now we go to draw this whole thing through. So, let's do all the other lines. Come to the vanishing point so we can see whether this guy's looking like 3-dimensional. All right, ready to do and 1, 2, 3, and let's build the backside and then skip this box that we've created here. All the way through, all right let's go [INDISCERNIBLE]. You should always correct yourself. Okay, so let's try the backside of that box. We kind of see the backside of the box there. So, this is going to be kind of our starting point, so we've kind of --this little point back here actually, going to be the starting point of this whole guy. So, this is going to be the backside here, so we just start running all the parallels because we've got a point of reference, which is our box that we've created, this box--backside of the box, so we know the depth all the way through. So we just start running parallel lines through, all right. And the rest is just kind of, lined up with a--the vanishing points. They just--once they hit the points, you just connect them. And line them up and [INDISCERNIBLE] down. Okay, so you kind of have to see what's going on here. Actually, I need to [INDISCERNIBLE] the sketch too. These sets are so close to the horizon line, I think it's almost see the top of the box, you can barely see it."
