will be just fit square like this, right?
So then we have this situation when we put square
in perspective, when we have vanishing point.
So square will have diminution, conversion, right?
So what to need to know?
It's these four tangents.
When you draw a circle in perspective, when you draw this ellipse,
your ellipse should have these four tangents inside this square.
Then here have another thing.
Every ellipse have two axes.
This long axis, long one, and shorter one like axis.
So, let's show you here.
So I have an ellipse.
Then, exactly in the middle, this long part, it's a major axis.
and also exactly in the middle but going through short part it's a minor minor
axis so number one rule about ellipses number one thing very important basic
it's ellipse any kind of ellipse this can be like different degree can be more
open it should be like if it should be like to mirror of two parts this way or
mirror of two parts this way
So it's kind of both. So this way it's like one, two, like half, half, half.
But also, if I will do them both, then I will have like quarter.
Right, so it's like, it will be like, it should be like four equal parts.
It's same like if we draw circle, right?
So circle is also kind of...
We'll have like this four quarters.
So this one thing.
So this major and minor axis, they always divide ellipse on equal parts.
It can be like two halves.
or four quarters. So let's show you. So for example again if I have this square
in perspective so it's usually my major axis doesn't fit with the middle line of
square in perspective because square is kind of...
ok, I'll show you again here...
Square have this diminution, right?
This half of square bigger, other half smaller
because they kind of go to perspective.
But ellipse, it's always ellipse.
So let's show again, four points.
Even these four points will be this way.
ellipse, he will be always just four quarters or two halves.
So you see, if I draw minor axis through this ellipse, it divides in two halves.
and if
exactly in the middle here
I draw major axis
divides in...
now it's four quarters
so
this is kind of funny thing
about drawing ellipses in perspective
it's like you're drawing
this ellipse this way, but he actually tangent with square here, even like this bulk area
