Heyy, you're French !!😄 A frenchie here who for some reasons searched in english how to do ellipses, and I stumbled upon your channel. Thank you !!! Im gonna practice !! 💪

Glad you like the Ellipse tutorial. If you want to learn further about How to draw ellipses in a perspective setup, you can try this: www.thedesignsketchbook.com/how-to-draw-ellipses-in-perspective-in-7-steps-tip-158/ Thank you, Elisabeth, for sharing your feedback. :)
If you were drawing say a head, or body in general, or maybe a landscape, are you also keeping your elbow/forearmed off the table? Or can you use your wrist for those things?
It is mostly about the size of the line or curves you want to draw. I recommend drawing with the wrist for details or writing. For a head, I will move my whole arm to start with a circle (crane base) and draw with the wrist to draw the eyes, nose lips. A TIP: a small curve could use your wrist as a "center of rotation" and draw like a compass. :)

What about when you want to draw your ellipse less open, what I mean is we know that the more open the ellipse is the more it looks like a circle the more closed it is the more it looks like a line, I seem to be able to draw the ellipse more open but have more problems when I draw the ellipse thinner, any tips?
Hi Peter, I have a practice exercise for you. Imagine you are continuously drawing a circle adding multiple loops. Keep going and slowly "close" it to become an ellipse by continuing your flow of line. Make sure when you "close your ellipse", both circle and ellipses follow the same symmetry axis. i am not sure if I am clear. If you want, leave a comment on the blog: www.thedesignsketchbook.com/how-to-draw-an-ellipse-freehand/ And I will make a quick video demo for you. :) Hope it helps!
When i use ghost drawing my ghost elipses are all different shape and size. It's been more than a month of everyday practices but i cant do ellipses still (if it is an ellipse it's wrong size) T_T
Try ghosting it slower and really focus. If its different sizes every time, then try drawing two parallel lines, and keep a target of drawing the ellipse in between those two lines. Btw you should check out drawabox on youtube for more detailed explanations
@@ronaldpagar6513 The circle and the ellipse are 2 different shapes. The circle is round like a Soccer ball for example. And ellipse is more a rugby ball shape.

Yeahh !! Bravo Toke :))
Does any of you guys recomend an exercise of normal ellipses and ellipses in perspective ?
I always draw on my bed hunched over i feel like with this video I should start drawing on a desk..
Doodling ideas on bed is fine, however, yes to draw on a desk is essential to improve. :)

I hope this ellipse tutorial was helpful to you.
Excuse me but it doesn't have to be a perfect circle, right?
Hello, do you mean ellipse ? Drawing well basic forms is a good habit to take from start. So you can better build more advanced sketches.
@@Thedesignsketchbook what's the difference between ellipse and circle?
