Here we go on another whirlwind of adventure as we venture back into the mystic and fascinating world of perspective! this time its one point perspective we are looking at, and how to draw a good set of tiles...like in
this one...somewhat similar, but a bit easier and you only have one vanishing point to worry about...if its unclear anywhere, please tell me so I can rectify it ^ ^

Because you want the vertical lines converging, the vanishing point can't be to either side, instead it's above the horizon line. Depending how far up you put the line, it changes how the objects change with distance.
So, with a vanishing point really close to the horizon, the edges will taper in quite dramatically, whereas when it's higher, they will go much steeper gradient, and eventually (as the height goes to infinity), the vertical lines will be parallel.
I'll put up an image showing the effects of all three different types of perspective... 1, 2 and 3. so you can see the differences between them visually, rather than written.
