I'm done with my perspective drawing but something looks quite off. I'm not sure where. Sorry if its dirty but it's enough to send a message, I have a guess its about the table (I always struggle with circles in perspective. To any trained artists in perspective I wanna ask what methods have you used in drawing circles. Thank you!

Hello there! Nice job so far! I did a quick overpainting, hopefully, it helps. when drawing ellipses in perspective the easiest way to do them would be to make a rectangle in the known grid. When you connect the corners of the rectangle you will find the center of the shape. Then with a grid, you can figure out where to place points of the ellipse. Keep up the good work! :)

Thank you so much for your time into correcting the piece ;; it's quite clear to me now and I'll try and improve more, I'm practicing drawing cylinders in perspective in the meantime. So I could do another round of cylinders in a picture plane. Thanks so much!

I would advise you to find and study Scott Robertson book "How to draw" to understand more about perspective. If I am to provide a quick tip for you to understand circles in persp a bit more though, it would be to draw first a box that feels right to you, then freehand or construct ellipses into it. There's a lot more to this so again, you'll need some books to be more precise or understand what's going on. Good luck!

The diagram makes it easier to understand, I'm still on the process of learning perspective so thanks for the feedback!
