2-PT PERSPECTIVE GRID CONSTRUCTION
This photograph provides a very clear representation of how parallel lines converge to a singular point on the horizon line (HL). Notice how each square tile is 2-dimensionally represented as a kind of diamond shape, and they become increasingly compressed or trapezoidal toward the left and right
