Well, I am still new at this game, but from what I see, your snail gets
the circles down pretty well already.  You generally don't get the 
form perfect, only implied, and as long as you get good at impling forms,
that can look really good.  
   I was actually reccomended by someone with far greater experience than
I to keep some circles on hand, to replicate as needed. I found it to
be very useful advice.

And I cite an example of a implied circle. A rather well-done peice
by Spunk1111, or jgs, of the moon. Circles within circles, basically,
and although they are not exact perfect circles in a geometrical sense,
they are more than adequate for a good drawing.
