How to draw by Scott Robertson and Thomas Berlting - ellipses
I know this is stupidly specific and probably nobody is going to be able to help me with this, but I have trying to understand this for a week now and AI chatbots won't help me neither. So Scott says in that page and in the video of the page (gonna send it at the end) that he's teaching basically to draw a perfect circle in perspective. And also that, his method can be used to draw a perfect square around the circle. So his method is for drawing perfect circles and squares starting with the circle. In the video he says in a part "There's only one circle that can fit into this" (Referring to the straight lines around the ellipse in step 2 of the page) so I said "Ok then I just have to draw a ellipse that fits in all those conditions (rules like I called them in the second image) because if only one circle fits in there, that circle has to be a perfect one" But then, playing with the ellipses, I realized there actually is more than one ellipse that fits in there. (second image) so now, how do I know if my ellipse is really a perfect circle in perspective?? 😭😭
