With Distort, you can drag the handles in any direction to distort a selection. Content is automatically stretched to fit the confines of the newly-shaped bounding box.
Since they aren’t constrained to 90 degrees, you can use them to create a sense of perspective or speed.Move the handles to force perspective upon the contents of the bounding box.
NOTE: you can use Distort in conjunction with perspective guides to fit something into an existing scene.
What is the bias
When using Distort, you will see a manipulator in the middle of the bounding box . This is the bias. Use it to foreshorten, change the proportions of a sketch, or change the actions of a character.
