Did you know there was such a competition? It amazes me sometimes that types of competitions are out there! But if you watch the whole video link to YouTube, it is pretty cool to see this guy draw a perfect circle. LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAhfZUZiwSE Yes, I am bored today and viewing YouTube...ha ha

Wow! Can you say that was amazing. I didn't think that he would actually make a huge perfect circle. And I liked how he warmed up!! I know that I could never make a perfect circle because I can not even make a straight line, or even cut one. I wonder if anyone can just cut a circle without making one first! That you be a real competition!! :D

Wow, that's pretty neat! I know that i can't draw a _perfect_ circle freehand, but I can do a fair circle becasue I used to draw all the time. Especially cartoon animals. THey've always been my specialty, and you have to be pretty good at circles to create that kind of artwork *laugh* I really appreciate your Youtube recommendations! I love Youtube *laugh* It seems like you can find just about anything on there, lol! ^_^

WOW! That is absolutely, totally amazing! It took a while for him to warm up! I was wondering what he was doing. flinging his arms around and whatnot, but when he did that circle, I thought boy, that was some feat achieved. I can't even draw a circle using a template or a compass with a pencil in it. Mind you I was always naff at art at school. I think he'd win first prize in the competition. I bet no one else could do that, so good, thanks for sharing, I keep forgetting about Youtube, bizarre stuff on there to say the least!

Thanks for watching it! LOL Like I said, I got very bored today and then I remembered YouTube! LOL I can't seem to walk much or do much today because I am too dizzy and still have the killer migraine. So here I sit playing on the laptop trying to distract myself. :) So, I guess the moral os the story is...you get bored, watch YouTube.com? LOL

I take it you didn't watch the YouTube video then that I gave a link to. Because that guy can draw a perfect circle. I don't think we have to be robots to perfect somthing. I think we just have to have the drive to practice.

Okay I am pretty sure that that guy who draws the perfect circle is either a robot or an alien. Now way could I do that. My circles are not even close. I just tried it and it is not even close. I start my circle at the top and go to the left first, every thing is going good until I hit the bottom and try to come back up on the right side, and my hand tends to swing out and break my perfect circle. If you are really bored take a look at a guy I played softball with this year down in florida... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnSVLTO6p-M

At school, I was taught that anyone who could draw a perfect circle freehand was insane. Mind you, they still saw left-handedness as the sign of the Devil!

Wow, what school was that? Our Lady Of The Inquisition? Just kidding but that still a strong belief in some cultures... I'll they would freak out if they saw my ambi-skills! :)

We have some quaint traditions in England, and some very strange teachers! I think ambidextrosity would probably have resulted in burning at the stake, or a place on the cricket team!

I can draw a circle but if you are talking about a perfect circle, no. The closest i can get is a round shape, more like an ellipse and that is after some editing.

no one makes a perfect circle. especially in freehand. i read this article before, even if you get a compass and draw a circle, it's not a perfect circle. well, im not sure about that. but i dont think anyone can draw a perfect circle in freehand. that's kinda impossible. unless you're that good, maybe?? but NO. no way. LOL. you cant even make a perfect straight line in freehand. :)

You know it's been a while sense I sat down and tried it, but I have to practice with my left hand (I'm ambidexterous) before I can get it perfect right-handed, Oh wait, it's the doorbell... these these nice people in hospital whites have come to collect me... gotta go, sure hope the padding in my cell is really cushy this time! :) LOL!

Yes, I can draw a perfect circle freehand. I also can draw a very straight line freehand.

That is amazing. I didn't think anybody could draw a perfect circle freehanded. I'm an artist and I know i can't. I'm wondering though if he can only draw big cicles. I would like to see him do it on an 8"x 10" paper.

There is no chance at all that I could ever draw a perfect circle freehanded. I couldn''t fraw a straight line or even a half way decent star, either. I have a great grandfather who was a lithographer, and a great grandmother on another side who was also an artist and made embroidery patterns, but I got none of the talent.
