How to Draw a Circle
To draw a circle, follow the steps below:
- Start by drawing a horizontal line on your paper. This line will act as the diameter of your circle.
- Mark the center of the line with a small dot using a pencil or pen.
- Place the point of your compass on the center dot and open it so that the other end of the compass touches the edge of the horizontal line.
- Keep the compass in this position and draw a semi-circle. To do this, make sure to move the compass without changing its width or angle.
- Without changing the width of the compass, move the point to the other end of the diameter. This will create a perfect circle.
- Keeping the compass at the same width, draw a complete circle by moving the compass around without changing its angle.
- Once you have drawn the circle, carefully erase any unnecessary guidelines or lines.
- Finally, use a pen or marker to darken the outline of the circle, giving it a more defined appearance.
Remember to practice drawing circles on scrap paper before attempting the final drawing. With time and practice, you will be able to draw circles more confidently and accurately. Happy drawing!
