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. ___---___ .-- --. ./ () .-. \. / o .
