A labyrinth has winding, curved passages, forming a “unicursal,” or one-way path from the outside toward the center.
A maze is a network of paths. Mazes are usually designed as a puzzle through which something has to find their way. Most mazes also have a start and a finish. The most famous maze in the world is the

One Point perspective
One Point perspective
Definition …a mathematical system for representing three-dimensional objects and space on a two-dimensional surface by means of intersecting lines that are drawn vertically and horizontally and that radiate from one point on a horizon line… Dictionary.com
Key Points:
Surfaces that face the viewer are drawn using their true shape
Surfaces that travel away from the viewer converge towards a single vanishing point
Understand that:
Objects above the horizon line are drawn as if you are looking up at them (you see the bottom of the object)
Objects below the horizon line are drawn as if you are looking down at them (you see the top of the object)
Objects that are neither above nor below the horizon line are drawn as if you are looking directly at them (you see neither the top or the bottom of the object)

How is a labyrinth different to a maze?
Although both maze and labyrinth depict a complex and confusing series of pathways, the two are different. A maze is a complex, branching (multicursal) puzzle that includes choices of path and direction, while a labyrinth is unicursal, i.e., has only a single, non-branching path, which leads to the center.
