Vicious Cirlces...

My Art 216 progress

So now I finally began my "Less is More" visual communication project. I won't go into a lot of detail on the goal of the project but it involves using three images of on object at different levels of zoom and drawing the details with the pen tool in adobe illustrator.
The project started off easy but I must say, making circles with the pen tool is the task from hell. I can hardly explain my frustration trying to draw something as simple as a circle, in retrospect I should've chosen a subject with less circles. While I was trying desperately to make a circle(a real circle, not a jagged rock outline) I couldn't help but think there must be a better way to do this, sadly as there is not,as far as I know...but all-in-all I'm enjoying the project and will keep on keeping on despite the demon circles. sicks out.


***EDIT***
ok I feel stupid now, the easiest way to make circles in illustrator is by using the elliptical tool. It was easier to find in photoshop, but yeah....the elliptical tool
sicks out
