Hey i been thinking of getting into art ... (that and i have a book report due tommorow that requires a drawing of a little golden clock)
But how the heck do you draw a circle without some sort of tool of sorts? i always seem to end up with an oval or some sorta misshaped lines ... anyone have any fancy tricks to get around this problem without the using of a circle surface or some sort of tool to use?
hmm. I spent hours trying to draw a perfectly straight line or a perfectly straight circle... word of advice... (I would stop)
however, I found that if I made a plus mark that looked somewhat even, i could connect the quadrants and it would seem more circlish
The best way is to just do it really fast. If you spent a long time on making it perfectly straight, it won't turn out straight. Just take a pencil and make really light circles around the page, a bunch, then go over the base you put down darker. of course, it's easier when you're not on a computer n.n
well that works actually :p looks like that's my best bet for the moment ... thanks!Quote:

At least for heads of characters.
But for an actual circle use the plus sign technique.
Hold a pencil then put ur ring finger on the paper..
Don't move it..
Then move the paper in circle and you should get a almost perfect circle
same as tsuna but i just do it in one go, its just wierd cos its really common between my mates. we can draw shapes really well but we cant actually draw
Same as me? I don't recall posting in this thread... excluding this post of course. I think you mean same as Minora.Quote:

tie a string to the pencil. Hold the other end of the string to what will be the centre of the circle. Just draw the circle, the string will do the rest.
I'm honored to be mistaken for you Tsuna :pQuote:

Seriously are you people even reading the title? i know i make the mistake of not reading it sometimes but over 2 people? i said NOT USING TOOLS that means rulers string or whatever. just my hand and pencil
But whatever my best answer was the person with the + sign idea. best vote on my end now then ...
Some one lock this dang thread!
My suggestion would be either to make one on the computer and trace it onto another sheet of paper.
Or
Use the lid of an object go around the outside and you should have a perfect circle...
