Using a Compass to draw a Circle.

Drawing the perfect circle using a compass is not always as easy as it seems. Here are some tips about what not to do:

DON'T:

*Set up the compass so that the point is shorter than the lead of your pencil

*Hold the pencil as you draw; hold the top of the compass instead

*Press too hard or the radius of your circle will change

*Turn the paper, it is the compass that should turn on its point

*Allow the screw to be loose; this will distort your circle

Hope these tips will make your circle-drawing a happier experience!
