Hello,

I was actually practicing drawing circles and asked myself if there is a certain technique or little tricks (like turning the sheet around and looking in the mirror) to improve my freehand circles. Is there?

Thank you

to get an accurate circle use a template..or the ol string and compass thing

I can draw almost perfect circles (pretty fast!). I learned it by drawing circles really, really, ReallY slow. A good tip is to draw a really tiny circle then around that one to draw a little bigger circle and so on, because it's WAY easier to draw a tiny circle then a big one.

cool..i may be able to draw one circle pretty good..but not two exactly alike such as irises and pupils..i generally use a template..but thats a pretty good tip..

Yea,
I shall try it out tonight!

When I was in school I doodled pictures like this all the time. It really helped train my hand and eyes to draw circles. And when you get the whole page filled with these spirals, it gives a cool optical illusion!

=) Nice, I now know what to do ))

I am pretty sure you can find a tutorial online on how to draw a perfect circle freehand because beleive it or not there are contests for the fastest most perfect circle drawer. Maybe if you get good enough you can enter.

The method of drawing circles (or straight lines) freehand is to draw from the shoulder, not the wrist. LIft your arm off your drawing surface and use your whole arm to create the circle. this gives a freer ability than the tighter stabilized wrist movement.
