How to Make a Perfect Circle in Procreate
There are a few ways to make a perfect circle in Procreate.
Make a Circle Stamp Brush
If you use circles a lot, this is a very easy way to create circles quickly. I love using a circle brush to create a template for wreaths.
- Duplicate the monoline brush.
- Click on the brush to access the brush settings.
- Increase spacing to the max.
- Increase the maximum size all the way. You might need to increase the minimum size too to make it big enough.
- Rename your brush to indicate that it’s a circle brush.
- Click once on the screen to create a circle. Adjust the brush size to get the size right.
By the way, I have a ton of other fun Procreate brush tutorials here.
Using Quickshape
This works best with a solid brush (like a monoline brush) so that you can fill it. If you use a textured brush, you may end up with a gap that makes it hard to fill.
- Draw a circle and don’t lift your pencil from the screen.
- It will snap into a circle or an ellipse and the top of the screen will say “ellipse created.”
- Pick up the pencil and select “edit shape” at the top of the screen.
- You can adjust the size by pulling on the blue nodes.
- Tap on the screen to deselect.
- Fill it with color if desired.
If it doesn’t give you the option for a circle, your original circle may have been too oval-shaped. Delete it and try again.
You can also try drawing the circle and holding a finger on the screen. It should snap to a perfect circle. (This option can be a bit wonky for me. It works when it wants to.)
