It's good to draw larger circles too! The important part is practicing drawing "from the arm/shoulder" instead of just moving your wrist.

@@Rikisballs When you draw smaller circles, you're drawing using your wrist and fingers. Drawing larger circles is important too, and practicing them is vital because they're drawn using the arm and shoulder. "Proper form" when drawing large circles and making other large marks is drawing mostly or entirely from the arm and shoulder. Drawing from the arm and shoulder can help a lot with line confidence, and is the best method for drawing longer straight lines, circles, and many other larger things that don't require as much fine control. Hope this helps!

I have no criticism of the exercise, just confused on the why the paper was folded in half
@DanielaMellen3 ай бұрын
Good question..... The paper was folded, just as a guide to help you gauge how large to make the circles, so that you had some idea the overall space you were working within. It's not necessary - but creates boundaries.
@jichaelmorgan3796Ай бұрын
Calligraphy is good practice for using shoulder and wrist more and trusting your lines. Especially if you like minimal ink line drawings, it is a transferable skill. Just make sure you are practicing larger lettering.

speaking from personal experience if your circles suck and you cannot, no matter how much you try, draw a decent circle reverse the motion I used to draw pages and pages of circles every day for like, a week and they never got any better until one day I decided to start drawing them anticlockwise as a joke but now, while my circles still aren't great, they at least connect and are round. Try it if you're seriously strugglng

@DanielaMellen16 күн бұрын
Your question is a good one and I am always open to discussion about projects. These techniques are exercises, that with repetition and intention can help with hand-eye coordination and muscle memory. You're practicing making a specific shape (circles) which require stability, even arcs, and precise movement. So, while they are intended to help with drawing circles, they also help with coordination, which will help your overall drawing skills.

@@HoneeyBee3 yes I did see improvement, I got better confidence and control when drawing , at the beginning I struggled to do so because of my shaky hands but the more I practiced the better control I had over it . With Constant practice I developed muscle memory and drawing from the shoulders increased my range of motion rather than just using my wrist . There were also other things I practiced besides drawing circles , that would be like spheres. ,cubes , 3d forms the basic art fundamentals before moving onto the more challenging ones. Here you can check out these youtubers who helped me improve my art . • proko • Marc Brunet • Uncomfortable (Draw a box ) etc. It may take time to develop the correct muscle memory but if you remain consistent you'll get there . Oh and before I forget a little hand warm up or some wrist mobility exercises can help along way aswell. Let me know if you have anymore questions 🙏🏻.

Drawing a circle with your whole arm vs your hand works different things. Circles can be drawn both ways - one is large motor skills, the other is fine motor... Working with your hands assists with detail work.

It doesn't. Try to connect the lines OR try and aim for a perfect circle, but you're trying to practice drawing with intention. Your goal is to repeat the shape (multiple times) and start to see them all look consistent.

I wonder if there are some poor souls who'll read the title and take it literally 😅 You really should specify that it's just an exercise for hand eye coordination Also I personally don't think just circles will help you much. I'd say draw them both clockwise and counter clockwise, draw line at different angles, draw curves and repeat them, put dots and try to connect them with a straight line in one motion, this should help much more
@DanielaMellenАй бұрын
I think your tip on drawing circles clockwise and the reverse is a good one. There are plenty of exercises, like the ones you mentioned that are helpful. I appreciate the quick exercises, as they are easy to do, and incorporating them into a practice routine is helpful.

Not a dumb question - the repetition of creating the same size circle will improve your hand to eye coordination, work on muscle memory, and practice the art of drawing a "perfect" circle... which I find very difficult. The idea is that most circles will not be perfect, but through practice, there will be improvement.
