Give them all a try! Once you find a few you really like, add them to your daily warmup routine and practice them… a lot.

Got caught up and added in line warm ups. I'm not really the neatest when it comes this though

General poll: Do you tend to make your circles clockwise? counter-clockwise? And are you right or left handed? I haven't discovered a strong disposition toward making clockwise circles (I usually start at the bottom) or counter-clockwise (then I usually start at the top). I'm generally stronger on my left, but write & draw with my right hand (I'm old enough that being left-handed wasn't "allowed")

I’m right handed when I write or draw and usually go counter clockwise starting at the top. But depending on the task I can switch between left and right pretty easily.

The following a previously drawn circle exercise is pretty hard - so is trying to draw it within a given shape. After 3 or 4 sheets of nothing but circles, I started adding them into and around perspective boxes. XD

These are circles of my warmup! It was fun to draw a lot of circles, but the works are a little bit scary...
@kevinludraws
Drawing circles is too hard. I can see myself making progress with straight lines, but circles I don't know if I'm making progress.

Did the circle warm up exercise but added mushrooms and more! I added it some ellipses as well. You might recognize some familiar characters! :D

Circles drills any advise would be appreciated.
@thewayofallflesh
If you struggle with circles, try drawing a circle with a bottom of a cup and then trace freehand over that, and later on try freehand. It's the same principle with drawing a straight line with ruler first and then tracing over it by hand.

Circles are really important. I start with an HB pencil, then switch to a coloured pencil and then follow up with a micron pen so I get triple the amount of circles on the same page. Draw your circles from right to left and then go in the opposite direction. One direction will feel more natural to you but train yourself in both directions. Keep up the good work.

Its nice warming up with circles, i find a little bit boring doing with pacience but need to keep up.

It was a nice reminder to warmup circles. Usually I just draw them without warming up first, and they look awkward.
