Drawing a circle: two point perspective

Today I decided to continue exploring the subject of circles in perspective. I already wrote about Circles in 1 point perspective (1PP) so today it will be Circles in  2 point perspective (2PP).

This video is almost the only thing I found on the subject so that's what I'll be using.

I also tried to do some cylinder in 2PP but it didn't go very well so I will dedicate another post to it.

It's coming soon :)

Developing Creativity: how present the color wheel in a creative way.

All those who deal with colors know what a color wheel look like. Usually, like this.

Now several days ago I found this image on Pinterest which led me to this blog.
It is about teaching art to kids and there are some really nice things about it.

So the post I came upon was about creating a different kind of color wheel. Just to do it differently from the one everyone is used to.

So I decided to give it a try as a creativity exercise of this month.
This is a classic color wheel.


At this point I felt like I was simply coloring with really expensive pencils. But I guess that this is the very experience that will help me to understand the color theory a bit better than before.

These are some ideas I came up with.

For some reason snails started to fascinate me, so I included a snail in this one too.
