I didn't realize it until this video, but the potato method is exactly what I've been using for my circles. I'm going to try that third method, though, just to see how it feels.
TOOLS I USED ⬇️ - SmudgeGuard Glove: amzn.to/2Enw0cf - Derwent Graphic Pencil 7B (I knew my left hand would draw too lightly and I wanted my circles to show up really well, so I went with a very soft/dark pencil): amzn.to/2VUSw7k - Cheap Artist's Loft Sketch Paper - Mono Eraser: amzn.to/2HvT0Ie
"If you start going offtrack, don't panic. Just go back to where you messed up and adjust your path instead of starting over from the very beginning. If you do adjustments like this often, you will be able to spot patterns of mistakes, if there are any. Once you have this valuable information, you can predict mistakes before they happen, allowing you to stay on the right course and prevent mistakes in the future" Came here to learn drawing circles. Left rethinking life philosophy.
Another method I used when I was doing hand lettering (back in the 70’s) similar to your dashed line method. Start with a vertical and horizontal lines, a cross...( you can use it later anyway) then at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00... draw a short arc, then fill in the blanks with similar arcs gradually using fewer and fewer. I landed my first lettering job by being able to draw a so called perfect circle for a letter O, a lot of practice for sure. Love your tutorials.
Absolutely right about muscle memory and brain development. This is ideal for anyone to train the opposite side of the brain, needed to stave off dementia. You are excellent. I would advise everyone to listen to this lady.
Thank you, Darlene! I think what I needed to hear was that erasing wasn't cheating, nor was using extra lines. Thank you for also really driving home that only practice makes perfect!
You can also turn the paper using your pinky as the center point. Since circles are only needed on the major draft, this can be done before you tie down the picture or canvas.
Wow you have no idea how much this helped. I really sucked at drawing circles and it was super frustrating. Now I can already feel myself getting better. Thank you so much
Drawing circles LEFT handed......now you're just showing off! I'm happy IF I make a decent circle with my DOMINANT hand! I have never been a drawing person, but I'm starting, your lessons are SO helpful.
1: 13 mins, 3 circles, 2: you know your handwriting is bad when someone else's handwriting is better than yours when they are writing with their non dominant hand, and 3: 13 mins 3 circles...
You are a lovely person to take on board that people have difficulties and address them. Anything you do is fine by your loyal followers. God bless you.
I’m an absolute beginner and always wanted to learn how to draw. This is probably the first video I have actually enjoyed, and does begin for beginners. Very informative and interesting too. Thank you.
Me: *searches up how to draw good faces* Step 1:draw a circle Me: well I will brb to go look at a video how to draw a circle This is how many times I messed up 😌 👇🏽
Thanks for explaining how to do this. I already learned the mental drawing technique of drawing an imaginary circle on the paper until you're confident it'll turn out right and actually draw it, but didn't learn the other two. Thanks for helping me to understand this, the way you explained kindly and compassionately was of great assistance.
**Asks girls before class if they want me to draw them a picture** **they freak out and can’t wait to see my art** **come back with a book full of scircles after class** Reaction: 😱😱😱 “ I’m keeping this in my loose leaf! (Actually happened) 🤣
Thanks for this! The best thing I got from this video is not the technique though, it's your tip about starting from the opposite direction if your hand blocks your view of the circle! Now I draw circles clockwise instead of counterclockwise and my circles are more perfect than ever!
1. hold the pencil with dominant hand 2. rest that hands wrist on the paper (the smaller the touching surface the better) 3. put pencil on paper 4. use your other hand to rotate the paper you just used your hand as a compass to draw a nearly perfect circle. change angle of the pencil or the point where your hand touches the paper to vary the circumference
Dude it looks so ugly when you have a drawing that looks like a drawing and BAM you have a perfect circle in your drawing. Also you dont get progress at all by doing that. Imagine you have made masterpieces with a compass and then you will go to a competition and you are not allowed to use a compass and you draw like a 3 year old
Just started with drawing and was embarassed about that im not even able to draw a circle. Never thought there would be tutorial. Thank you so much. It helped me alot!
This makes me smile, so much when I watched this video I really needed help on drawing circles, I am a tremor, my hands got really shaky while drawing, I really wanted to be a great artist, your videos are the best to watch when you need help, if I could subscribe to your Chanel a million times I would.

U can draw an almost perfect circle by putting ur pinky knuckle on paper. Hold pencil stiff. And turning paper around
*Break the pencil in half* I think I did it?
That made my circle look 100x worser.
Zalegend OH MY, YOUR RIGHT!!
I SWEAR THIS WAS THE METHOD THAT MY CLASSMATE USED DURING OUR ANIMATION CLASS
Or! Or, get this, you could not use this inefficient method and just buy a compass :)
