Using Linear Perspective Drawing Ellipses Using Linear Perspective
Warning. You will need to erase unwanted lines, so DRAW LIGHTLY
Create a grid using perspective. See “Grid in Perspective” instructions.
Ellipse – is a circle that appears distorted to an oval due to the angle at which it is seen.
Ellipse – Choose a rectangular area where you want your ellipse. The rectangular area should be wider than it is tall. Use the grid.
Ellipse – Find the midpoints of that rectangle by making an “X” from corner to corner.
Ellipse – Divide the rectangle again, horizontally.
Ellipse – Divide the rectangle again, vertically, by connecting to the vanishing point.
Ellipse – mark the midpoint of each line segment.
Ellipse – draw the ellipse x
Ellipse – erase unnecessary lines.
Ellipse – Side View If you do not have a grid to work from, you will need to draw a rectangle using the vanishing point.
Ellipse – Side View Find the center of this rectangle.
Ellipse – Side View Draw the curved ellipse.
