What are other techniques to draw a circle besides using or mimicking a compass tool?
I would like to draw circles and ellipses more accurately without relying on a compass (or spinning my paper around). This seems like a simple google-searchable question, but most of the results are flooded with click-bait "amazing circle drawing trick!" results.How do you draw a near-perfect circle without using or mimicking a compass?
I use small paper/plastic cups for full circles; they tend to work quite well depending on the size that I need. For ellipses, I would recommend picking up a flexible curve. It's a bendable ruler that always has a smooth curve no matter how you bend it.
