Think along the lines of Compound Interest (but in reverse)
For example- Asset of 100 depreciating by 20% p.a
On Straight Line
Year1 Asset 100 Depreciation 20
Year2 Asset 80 Depreciation 20
Year3 Asset 60 Depreciation 20
Year4 Asset 40 Depreciation 20
Year5 Asset 20 Depreciation 20
Year6 Asset 0
On Diminishing Balance
Year1 Asset 100 Depreciation 20
Year2 Asset 80 Depreciation 16
Year3 Asset 64 Depreciation 12.8
Year4 Asset 51.2 Depreciation 10.24
Year5 Asset 40.96 Depreciation 8.192
Year6 Asset 32.77
.... and so on until the asset tends to 0 (will never technically reach 0)
