Wilson Tarbuckles Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Hi!! Would you please give me some advice? A lot of times when I am trying to create a circle, no matter what I do, it ends up looking like a 3rd grader did it. As you will see the spiral at the bottom of the first S, I just cannot get it to look any better than that! No matter what I do to make it look better, it ends up looking worse than this! Could you please share some suggestions? Thank you! Wilson Edited January 27, 2021 by Wilson Tarbuckles no need for pic now that question has been answered.

firstdefence Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Welcome to the forum @Wilson Tarbuckles It looks like you have sharp nodes set and you need to use smooth nodes and adjust the handles carefully. https://youtu.be/OcaYSToD1Q0?t=29 Wilson Tarbuckles 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Use the Ellipse Tool to create it at the desired position and size, and use the ‘Add’ command to connect it to the tail end of the S.
