Planes and Circles: No Vanishing Point

For this first assignment, you are going to create a gird of squares. You do not need a horizon line or vanishing point to set this up, but we are still working with one point perspective.

Just like in the examples, you must divide each box, diagonally with an X, before drawing a straight line through the horizontal and vertical centers, using the X to place them.

With Your divisions in place, you can start filling your squares in. Focus on drawing the circles as best you can without getting too preoccupied with perfection. At this point you are just practicing a new skill, and it will improve with time.

In one point perspective you can look directly at a plane and not have it recede towards a Vanishing Point. For the same reason, this is the only perspective where you can draw a perfect circle as opposed to an ellipse since again, we are looking directly at it without it receding towards a vanishing point.

To complete this assignment

Create two sheets of squares, or planes, and draw your circles; at least 24 of them. Remember you are not working with a vanishing point for this, because the plane you are working with is not receding towards a vanishing point.
Post your results in your Discord Sketchbook, or the Draw Daily Patreon community.
