Have a Huion Kamvas digital painting screen tablet but can’t draw a perfect circle.

for example, when you draw a circle it just comes out like a horizontal ellipse.

In fact, you should be able to draw on huion screen exactly like you do on paper.

The problem with this isn’t always in the artist, sometimes it’s the issues of the driver for your tablet.

Don’t worry! You can correct this. And it’s very simple.

Why Draw Circle become Ellipse?

This issue is most common on non-screen drawing tablets like huion inspiroy. If the aspect ratio of your pen tablet’s active area does not match your monitor’s aspect ratio. You will see distortion.

In this case, if you trace out a circle on the pen tablet, you will have traced out an oval on the screen.

The same issue applies to huion pen display. By default, the entire active area of the pen display maps to the whole computer monitor.

So, if the aspect ratio of your huion kamvas pen display (usually 16:9) doesn’ot match your computer monitor’s aspect ratio (for example, 4:3, 16: 10 or 21:9 ). You will see the same issue.
