Observe that the vertical lines in the drawing are drawnparallel with the sides of the paper on which the drawing is made ;the horizontal lines parallel with the top and bottom of the paper;and that the horizontal receding lines converge to a point. 32 AUGSBURGS DRAWING. 33 The horizontal receding lines on the model converge in thesame manner as represented in the drawing, but it is difficult forthe untrained eye to see this convergence. The point to whichthese lines converge is the center of vision. The Cente
