Hold down the "Ctrl" key while left-clicking and dragging to create a circle shape. When you have created the desired size of your shape, release the mouse key. This draws a perfect circle. If you would rather draw an offset sphere, such as the shape of Planet Earth, then drag the shape without holding down the "Ctrl" key.
