Choose 2 ordinary objects at home which are related, but are not the same size at all - like the front door and a key; an apple and a refrigerator. Draw the two objects as if they are the same size, and draw them as if they have a new relationship to that size - the key is as big is the door and can only lean on it; the apple is so big that it occupies the entire inside of the refrigerator.
