Thank god someone finally made a video on elipses that isnt simply "draw it in a plane" with nothing else added.

I've already watched a ton of how to draw an ellipse in perspective but I never got the theory behind it 'til I watched this video. Thank you!

[juniper]

You know the tutorials gonna be good when u see how he draws circles 😳

[jonpritzker]

Oh my good, thank you so much, whenever I’ve been drawing cylinder cross sections I’ve just kept the ellipses parallel / similar. I just go to this viewpoint perspective with cubes, but thank you so much for pointing out the obvious, that lmao this applies to circles as well. I was subconsciously struggling with this, thank you for clarifying. Within first ten seconds, I exclaimed out loud,

This is BRILLIANT. I haven’t seen ellipses explained like THIS. God bless you!

I know this was more of a explanation video but these are some good exercise to practice as well. Thank you for the video!

Best video on ellipses and cylinders I have watched. Thank you so much, I feel blessed to have stumbled upon this video. I really enjoyed it and it gave me a very much wider and clearer understanding of drawing cylinders in perspective. You are very good at teaching Robert. It was totally worth my time, God bless you, sir

[kristrappeniers]

I never got this, because of its highly counterintuitive nature. Thanks for clearing this out. Keep up the good work!
