Worm's-eye view with two vanishing points

A worm's-eye view is a description of the view of a scene from below that a worm might have if it could see. It is the opposite of a bird's-eye view.[1]

It can give the impression that an object is tall and strong while the viewer is childlike or powerless.[2]

A worm's-eye view commonly uses three-point perspective, with one vanishing point on top, one on the left, and one on the right.[3]
