Art Video of the Week - Drawing Circles


When you consider that the foundations of every form we draw can be rooted in basic shapes such as square, triangles, and circles, then the art of drawing a good circle is an important element in your toolkit.

This week, Leonardo of Fine Art Tips shows a couple of hacks and a freehand technique for drawing circles that are remarkably simple and clever at the same time. I especially like the makeshift compass technique that uses two pencils to create greater precision on the size.

So, enjoy and fill up paper with practice! Remember, for this, any old paper is going to do, including the cheap printer paper you can buy at Costco.
