How To Draw A Circle In Procreate

Alright, buckle up, aspiring artists! We're about to tackle the age-old question that has plagued humanity since, well, since someone first tried to draw a circle on a cave wall: How do you draw a perfect circle in Procreate?

The Quick and Dirty Method

First, grab your Apple Pencil (or whatever stylus floats your boat) and your iPad. Open Procreate, create a new canvas, and select a brush. Any brush will do, unless you're drawing with the "spaghetti noodle" brush, because, well, chaos.

Now, draw a circle. Yes, just go for it! Unleash your inner artist, even if your circle looks more like a potato.

Here's the magic: hold your stylus down at the end! Don't lift that stylus. You will notice the program knows your imperfect circle.

Procreate will magically snap your shape into a *near* perfect ellipse.

See that beautiful blue "Edit Shape" button that popped up at the top of your screen? Tap it!

Select “Circle”. BOOM! Perfection achieved. Bask in the glory of your flawless, digitally-assisted circle.

Fine-Tuning Your Orb

Okay, so you have a perfect circle, but what if it's the wrong size or in the wrong spot? Don't fret! You're the artist; you're in control.

Use one finger to move the circle around the canvas. Play with it! Find the perfect spot for your perfect circle.

Pinch and zoom with two fingers to make it bigger or smaller. Enlarge it to the size of a beach ball, or shrink it down to a tiny little dot.

Want an oval instead of a circle? That’s easy! Tap "Edit Shape" again and instead of the program defining a circle, you can select “Ellipse”.

Pro Tip: The Power of Symmetry

Want to draw several circles? Procreate has a nifty feature called Symmetry.

Go to the Actions menu (the wrench icon), tap Canvas, and then toggle on Drawing Guide. Tap "Edit Drawing Guide" at the bottom of the screen.

Select "Symmetry" from the menu at the bottom. Now, anything you draw on one side will be mirrored on the other!

Draw a circle on one side of the canvas, and Procreate will automatically create a symmetrical circle on the other side. Double the circles, double the fun!

"Drawing circles is just the beginning. Once you master this skill, the artistic universe is your oyster!,"

You can adjust the number of vertical, horizontal, radial or quadrant symmetry. Explore and create mind-blowing designs.

Beyond the Basics

Alright, you’re now a circle-drawing master. But don’t let the power go to your head! There's always more to learn in the world of Procreate.

Experiment with different brushes, colors, and blending modes. Create textured circles, glowing circles, circles that look like they're floating in space.

Use your newfound circle skills to create all sorts of amazing things. Think portraits with perfectly round eyes, landscapes with perfectly round suns, or abstract masterpieces that are just a collection of perfectly round circles.

So there you have it! Drawing perfect circles in Procreate is easier than eating a slice of pizza (and almost as satisfying). Go forth and create, and remember, even if your circles aren't perfect, they're still art!
