You just have to feel the ellipse

Just feel it man

ok, so ic really is a shithole.
I think I get it now for whoever wants to hear me up.


after trying so hard for one week to have nice ellipses, I'm so glad I got it.

so! you need to consider all aspects of an ellipse as well as your perspective (1point, 2 points)

I thought that since it was a plane I should have only considered one of the points but, of course, that's bullshit. ignore the major axis and only consider the minor axis.
both part an ellipse in half but one parts it in half and also has a degree

Agreed ic is shit tier.
Also it's not 100% precise and the minor axis never point directly to the VP but it is very close in both cases. I built grids using this method and they have like 2-5% of error but honestly no one will notice it, if you want somethign more precise you have to go with a very boring and technical grid with 45/45 cube technique

This.

The force is not with you, young faggot.

>>2309406
What they mean by "feel it" is to just imagine the ellipse on the paper with out actually drawing it.
>it would have been that hard to figure out your self...
>Retard

Here is how I did it:

Buy a little wooden cylinder and other primitives if you want

Buy some gesso and slap an even coat on there

Buy a lamp and make a little still life

Draw it starting with the cylinder facing you then gradually turn it until you can no longer see the elipse, drawing each turn.

go back to geometry class

If you can't feel it then you have a long way to go...
