one-point perspective
Single vanishing point
One-point perspective is a drawing technique where all parallel lines converge toward a single vanishing point on the horizon.
It creates the illusion of depth on a flat surface, making objects appear to recede into the distance.
The method is fundamental to realistic representation of roads, hallways, and buildings: The railroad tracks disappeared into one-point perspective.
