there's a simpler way, with a perfect result using a compass and a ruler.. this sucks. sorry

[ervega]

@A2Jamal It's interesting, this is a simple method but I don't denied that there are simpler methods.

Anyway thanks for your comment and I would love to know about the ruler and the compass method.

Cheers!

if you are in control of your life then there was no need to watch a video entitled 'how to draw an ellipse'. isn't it obvious what will happen when the video starts that he is going to draw it by hand? why is this a waste of your life? do you even know what you are saying? are you going to 'waste' more of your life getting mad about this comment and 'waste' time replying to it? please do... mr idiot
