Road to a Single Dot

A straight road can look like it narrows as it runs away from you, even though its two sides stay the same distance apart. Draw the two sides so they meet at one small dot, and everything beside the road gets smaller as it nears that dot.

In the picture

  1. The single dot on the horizon: where the two road edges meet
  2. The road edges: two lines wide at the bottom that come together at the dot
  3. The row of trees: each tree drawn smaller and placed higher than the one before it

Examples

  • A railway track that seems to squeeze together far down the line.
  • A school hallway where the floor and ceiling lines meet at the far end.
