Did you really just blurt out the ruler rule without sending the guy an invoice?

[Anonymous No.4897173]

So none of you actually know how to draw a circle and you just rely on tracing? Then why does /ic/ think it's bad for me to trace from other artists.

Do you understand what reference means? It doesn’t mean trace. But not a soul on ic or in the real world gives suck if you trace. It’s (current year)

Drawing actually perfect circles is difficult and is almost a useless skill. It's what nonartists think of as a basic art skill. "Wow I can't even draw a circle/straight line!" No shit, it's not easy.
Learn to draw SOMETHING instead. An object, animal, a person, anything real. Organic forms are rarely made up of perfect circles, and for rectangular volumes, there's rulers. Circles really only become a problem for things like wheels. You trying to draw cars OP?

Experiment with changing your grip for starters. Holding your tool in different ways can get a wide variety of results, you want to experiment and research how to use your tools to begin drawing.
The next part is literally to draw lines, squares, and circles a fuckton. Fill up sketchbook pages. This is good for days when you're physically and creatively spent, and just to watch a anime. Just have your sketchbook in your lap and do it for long stints.

Guy who draws cars in extreme perspectives and who disguised a cryptic perspective manual as a basic how-to-draw guide recommends some bullshit thing with letters. Shocking.
I don't see what it has to do with circles, but maybe Scott Robertson is just a little biased on the topic. Even IF you are drawing cars, maybe hold off on the circle autism awhile and draw, you know, cars. That'll push you much further than trying create the ultimate circle.

squares and basic lines are much easier to learn than a circle. I've been doing the drawabox course and my lines and squares/boxes have improved MASSIVELY. My circles still suck tho

Architect/room planning stencils are great if you want to be precise. Mr Pen is the brand I have, got it on Amazon.

I use them for planning out comic panels amd figuring out perspective.

take the underdraw pill.
draw lightly on the first pass, then put down a much better square or circle on the second pass.

Anyone who needs to draw a perfectly accurate shape (protip: unless you're preparing a technical drawing of some kind, you don't) uses a stencil or some other mechanical aid and this has been the case for literally thousands of years at this point; the fucking ancient Romans drafted their technical plans with compasses, squares, rulers and geometric templates using metal dip pens and india ink.
