Learn More About The Perfect Circle Step-by-Step Drawing
Would you like to draw a perfect circle? Its round shape can be a challenge to freehand. But you can draw a perfect circle using any of the following tips.
Below, we'll outline a step-by-step method for drawing a perfect circle without a tool. First, however, we'll cover how to draw a circle with helper tools.
Draw a Circle Using a Compass
When we talk about using a compass to draw a circle, we're not talking about a directional compass like the one in this compass rose drawing.
Instead, a compass is a special tool for drawing circles. It has two arms in a "V" shape. One has a point to keep it from slipping, and the other has a pencil.
To use the compass, place the point where you want the center of the circle to be. Then, touch the pencil to the paper. Slowly rotate it in a circle around the point without moving the point or changing the angle of the "V."
Draw a Circle Using a Protractor
A protractor is a tool that helps you measure angles. But thanks to its semicircular shape, most protractors can help you draw a perfect circle.
You can draw half a circle at a time by tracing around its curved edge. When you finish one side, move the protractor and trace another half-circle opposite the first.
Some protractors even have an arm or a track in which you can place your pencil lead to draw the half-circle.
Draw a Circle by Tracing Around a Glass
If you don't have a compass or a protractor, that's okay! You can draw a perfect circle by tracing around a common household object.
A drinking glass is probably the easiest to find. You may even have glasses with different-sized openings in your kitchen cupboards, allowing you to draw different sizes of circles.
You can also trace around other round objects like plates or coins.
You can draw a perfect circle even if you don't have any of the above tools handy.
However, if you want to be extra precise, you can use a ruler or another straight edge when drawing the straight lines. Otherwise, feel free to freehand them.
