- I've recently gotten the "Iris Drawing Circle Tool" after being countlessly marketed to on Instagram. So this video is to show off whether or not it works and my thoughts on it!

It's crazy to me that I've never heard of this tool before despite looking up heaps of videos and techniques on how to quickly draw circles.
Today I was even trying to cut the centre out of a plastic lid to create a ring shape, so that I could see if the outer circle lined up properly with the ones inside of it, then suddenly I'm seeing videos for this specific tool everywhere.
Thanks for your review.
Definitely an artist, you didn't check The accuracy of the measuring part of the device
What is the advantage over a traditional compass? They draw literally perfect circles every time, are easily collapsed to fit in your drawing bag, are easily controlled for different diameter circles, you can set the center point, and you don't get the deflection that you're going to see by drawing a pencil freehand up against an elevated edge (As your pencil tilts, your line will migrate off.), and they're like $5.
I personally hate that there is a small hole left after using them
You can throw it as a medieval weapon
Theoretically it doesn't leave a hole in your paper. In reality, the production version doesn't work.
@@jhmclellan what?
Yeah ur totally right, that shit is insane. Theres no way it should he worth 90£ and a good compass is like 10$..
I like this for the novelty but honestly I think I’ll just stick with my trusty circle template and compass. It’s a beautiful object but I know I’d have issues with it not being transparent especially for placing overlapping circles.
Compass is far better and you won't drop 100+ on this crap. You should see those same idiots and their planer sharpener. Lol
Yeah, I think if I had one it would never leave its display stand. Not practical for placing a circle accurately and overkill for an artwork (at least at what it sells for).
You have a talent in teaching, every time I see one of your videos I really feel like I am learning something for real
You are now the master of circles
It looks amazing and the build quality is incredible. IF I had enough money to justify the expense.
I have watched and read the comments I personally can find a use for this tool as I am visually impaired and yes I have every tool on the market to try to draw circles/elipse but I can't line up my stencils etc. so this is a wonderful find.
Thank you. Just as a note I really do have very tool available. I was told that I am not a real "artist" to me if I use an aid to do something for me why does that mean I am no longer a true artist.
For the same reason I use a cabinet saw, rather than handsaws, a jointer or planer, rather than hand planes, a drill, rather than a brace and bit or strings and a stick. In other words, those saying things are nothing less than trolls.
We all use tools. A brush is a tool. I’m disabled I have to use many tools.
As Kelly says
….trolls.
U̶̲̥̅̊r gr8 ignore the trish trash
I still trust my green template
btw you can use the stand as a center point reference
The Iris tool has been advertised all over social media and cost around $100 USD. There are cheaper ones on Amazon that are about $25 with the same design. Would you happen to know the difference in quality versus the cheaper ones if you've tried it?
I think it's very shitty how Chinese companies steal designs and make knock offs. Don't support that stuff.
$167 for this one. Get less fancy ones on ebay less than $30. I think this should be transparent
there's a little old fashioned toll called Compass, i think that works just as great.
The wooden stand for it, is a helping tool for middle point and more.. please can you show that too next time

Circle template

Visibility: 9

So yeah I feel like most ppl can do with circle templates if they were gonna buy something dedicated to drawing circles xD
It's a cool product but not for everyone, if you have the bucks go for it, it'll look good on your workspace, light up your workspace a little.
I need such a thing for elipses... C: thanks for the video!
Now if I could do ellipses with this, I would be sold.
I got one off Amazon that was a knockoff. Turning it was a pain, too much tension, and it didn't have a rubber bottom so with the tension in it, you had to push really hard on the surface to grip the smooth top, and the sides weren't as prominent.
Man, that's just a cool looking tool in general
Great video. I love the conceptnof this video. keep up the good work. Blessings!
I need a reassembly guide. This thing fell apart in my hands after I got it out of the box. Two finally threaded screws securing the sections...
Nice quick and informative video, cool!
Hey I was curious if you were still using the Iris and like it. It’s hard to tell if the circle it creates will have any unevenness due to where the material overlaps. If you could provide any feedback I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
It is discounted this year (Nov 2020), so I bought one.
i dunno, I can see bumps. Makes the circles look hand drawn, which could be good. but when I can get a perfect circle from house hold objects, it makes it hard to justify. If a drew for a living and the bumpiness fit my style, then sure.
Cool
I am curious as to whether you’ve tested the circle tool using the marked measurements. Have you found the size of your measured circles to be accurate?
I bought one, and yes the measurements are very accurate
I CAME FOR THE REVIEW BUT I STAYED FOR THE WILLY WONKA REMIX.
Me encanta todo lo que haces, eres un gran artista, saludos desde España!! 🌿🍀☀️
It's really elegant, but yeh, I use paper and wood. This would be great on a drafting table, front office. You can get a case..Sheth for $62 American.
Art by me hi I got one today it’s not the iris but it’s well made but I can’t get it to open or close it’s not moving right is it the screws ??
Whoa... 90£ ... Thats legitimately insane. There is no way its worth that much... Wow.
Art by me I am looking at one on eBay it looks like it would work for mandala what size does it go to ???
I'm one of the kickstarter backers. This thing s beautifully made but it barely functions. Mine is a beautiful paperweight
What do you mean by barely functioning? I'm curious, because I'm deciding if I want this
I thought expensive for this would be maybe $40... Not ~$160!! Wow. These producers seem like crooks, especially seeing some of the comments saying they got the original kickstarter one amd it doesnt work...
I've said that you don't get rich being an Artist, you get rich by selling Art Supplies! :D
“What if I had something that was more of a pain in every way to use than a compass, created weird connected-line ‘circles’, but looked wicked sweet and definitely would cost at least $100 in materials & Shop Time to create the parts and another $50 to assemble, package, and ship?”
Honestly, I still use cups and bowls for circles lol
Looks really great but far too expensive. Thank you for the video. X
Being disabled I’d love this
AliExpress do steel ones at £8-£10 and I’m wondering wether to get theirs but if I had the bucks I’d get this.
The bumps and unevenness?
It takes practise to make smoother
This looks like the last thing anyone who mentions that they’re disabled would want. The ones that’re built well and cost as much as a cheap bicycle still need two hands to function. When I had a broken wrist, my stencils collected dust while my compass got a workout. This thing looks like torture to try to be productive with.
The Zelda and Chill made me double take that I wasn't accidentally playing two videos
I think you mean Willy Wonka and chill
I love this.
Mine broke 10 mins after opening
Circle Drawing Maker Aluminum Alloy Circle Template Adjustable Circle Drawing Tool Round FIX it
Circle Template Tool Ring Circle Making Tool with Black Flannelette Bag for Drafting, 125 mm (Yellow)
How luxurious does it have a value scale on the case? Bc if so that’s really neat
While this thing is pretty nifty and looks super nice....I have a circle ruler that has one overall large size, and then there's little stencils for smaller ones on the inside! It's never failed me, it was like $10, and it's larger than this one.... just slightly less convenient, I suppose. I also have some smaller stencils for various shapes! They are all plastic, however.
They can be found on Aliexpres for 15 euro shipping included
that'll probably be plastic though which would mean it would move pretty easily when drawing. also you will most likely have either an uneven circle or skips in the line where your pencil would catch on the mekanism. aliexpress is good tho if you really cant afford this thing but honestly id just go for a compass or something similar like a stencil :'D
@@mikamiso since it's advertised on Instagram, I highly suspect that they've got the products from Aliexpres as well and just engraved their logo in it. The one on Aliexpress seem to be of high quality and made of metal, according to the reviews.
There ones there are no good, I ordered one and they break in one day.
But I can see the multiple edges both on the device and in your circles. I feel like you should definitely be more critical of that, especially for the £90 cost. How could this possibly be better than a compass?
how to fix it?
I'm one of the Kickstarter backers. The shipped version is virtually impossible to use, and is impossible to use one-handed. This should never have shipped.
james bond of compasses. does the same thing but with style :p
Circle circle dot dot
Is that all it does drawer circles ?
Great! But yes spendy
Then line delineation seems poor with this tool. I have been a graphic designer for over 50 yers and have won awards. I wouldn’t buy it based on the poor line quality
Can you try a tool that can draw straight line other than a ruler..
This tool needs James Bond
What you actually get from makers cabinet is not as nice as shown in all these videos. The mechanism is not smooth and is total garbage. Only gets down to 6mm, not 2mm as advertised and extremely difficult to turn below 12mm.
Star Gate.
Mines broke in 1 min. . .
It's cool but not worth $155+that it is in Canadian dollars. Ridiculous.
Willy Wonka approves
I feel that tool is overpriced and overrated
please take away the annoying music. it’s really difficult to concentrate on your words.
Second comment I guess :D
Cheap copies out there watch out
1st comment? :0
It's ridicously expensive.
