How do you draw a circle?

Question

What's the proper way artsts draw circles. I want to learn to draw better, but my circles look terrible. How should I hold the pencil? How can I practice this? How do I learn to draw straigt lines?

Answer 1

Practice drawing a circle by using a disk or round bottom object and trace it. The more you do it the better you can do it by yourself with no item. Trust me it works. I did it myself.

Answer 2

You should have part of your hand on the middle part of the circle you are making.Hold the pencil firmly in place. Turn The paper with your other hand, and make sure you don't lose grip of the pencil.
