To create an illusion of perspective, the artist did all of the following except:

c. distort the proportion to keep the background and foreground the same size

In perspective drawing, the background typically appears smaller than the foreground, contributing to a realistic sense of depth. Distorting the proportion to keep them the same size would not support the illusion of depth the artist aims to create.
