Drawing and Understanding Ellipses

This video tutorial demonstrates how to draw an ellipse using the concentric circle method. The instructor explains the process of drawing the major and minor axes, creating two circles with specific diameters, and dividing the larger circle into 12 parts. The tutorial continues with drawing parallel lines and connecting points to form the ellipse using a French curve. The video concludes with finalizing the ellipse and inviting viewers to ask questions or leave comments.
