Exercise 3.2 Circles

You will now practice drawing circles.

Time: 10 minutes

Materials needed:

• pencil – any
• sketch pad
• eraser – any

Draw at least 20 circles of various sizes. Each circle should be made quickly and you should go around multiple times to create each one in order to feel out the circular shape.

If you go around and around in a circular motion enough times, you will get accustomed to making circles in various sizes. Try to speed up and slow down to see how this affects your circles.  It helps to start light and fast to feel out the circle size as you continue to go around multiple times. You can darken the circle when you get to the size you need. The light initial lines can be erased or covered with shading.

Use the full 15 minutes to practice drawing circles.
