umm, I need some help.

[valerie numb-brain]

so we did this studio today where we had to draw a still life of a bunch of
bottles on a table. the homework assignment is to duplicate the exact drawing
on another piece of paper, except this time we're supposed to make each bottle
look a thousand miles away from the next.

i know it has something to do aerial and linear perspective.

*sigh* anyone wanna clue me in here?

Well since the earth curves even on a totally smooth surface you
couldn't see the bottle; it'd be over the horizon. So just draw one
bottle and be done with it.

You probably know this already, but draw each bottle smaller than the one in
front of it. Gradually curve them downward until they go over the horizon,
and you cannot see them anymore.
