Two-point Linear Perspective

Two-point linear perspective utilizes two vanishing points and one horizon line. For example, if you stand on a corner, you can see down both streets. Imagine placing a vanishing point where each road appears to end, and then drawing a straight line through them (the horizon line). This is an example of two-point perspective.
