Paint Tool SAI - How to draw perfect circles

Description

If you are a Paint Tool SAI user and having trouble making circles, follow my steps!

> This just requires a mouse (or touchpad for laptops) and a keyboard.
> Make a new LINEWORK layer.
> Use the Curve Tool and click anywhere on the canvas to create a new curve.
> Press the DEL or END keys (if these buttons malfunction or do not exist on your keyboard, go to your preferences and bind different keys) to rotate the canvas, and then click to create a new point of the curve. The size of the circle depends on how far you zoom into the canvas. Higher zooms result in smaller circles, while lower zooms result in larger circles.
> Repeat the last step until you finish the circle. It is extremely important NOT to move your mouse while performing this step, otherwise the circle will misshapen and you will have to start over.
> You've created a perfect circle! This can be used in various applications such as creating the proportions for the head, or even drawing eyes.

Eye shape tutorial

> Continuing from the last tutorial, use the SELECT tool to surround the entire circle you have just created.
> Choose "Select Strokes From Selection" or ALT + S + T to select the shape. It's important that the entire circle is selected, otherwise you'll end up moving a control point and deforming the circle. Remember to undo (CTRL + Z) any mistakes you have made.
> In the same tool, you can select either SCALE or TRANSFORM; both options are pretty much the same.
> You can move the left/right sides of the selection box to change the elipticity of the circle to make it into a Sonic-styled eye shape.
> Once you have adjusted it to your liking, give yourself a round of applause. You've made an eye shape quickly and easily!
