 HOW TO DRAW THE ISOMETRIC VIEW OF A CIRCLE
TOP

In an isometric
projection, a circle
appears as an ellipse.
ISOMETRIC
It can be drawn in
isometric view using
a four-center ellipse
method.

 DRAWING A FOUR - CENTER ELLIPSE – OPTION 1
1

Draw the isometric view of

the square (an equilateral
parallelogram with sides
equal to the diameter of the
circle).

Note: Illustration shows top view of the isometric square.

 DRAWING A FOUR - CENTER ELLIPSE – OPTION 1
2

Mark the midpoint of each

line and draw a
perpendicular line from each.

Note: Illustration shows top view of the isometric square.

Draw the two large arcs, with

radius R, from the intersections
of the perpendiculars in the
two closest corners of the
parallelogram.
CENTER -1

CENTER -3 CENTER -4

Draw the two small arcs, with

radius r, from the intersections
of the perpendiculars within
the parallelogram, to complete
the ellipse.
