Can You Draw A Perfect Circle?

There’s an old myth that legendary artist Leonardo da Vinci could draw a perfect circle freehand. The bad news: it’s probably not true.

But it is fun to imagine that the feat is possible. Think you can do it? A new interactive tool lets you try to draw a circle with your mouse (or finger, if you’re on a phone or tablet).

Simply draw the circle, click analyze, and see how good (or bad) your circle is. Want to learn how to draw a better circle? Watch the video below:
