      Before you start drawing circles, you'll want to increase the nuber of segments thta make up the circle, to do this just select the circle tool (dont draw anythung yet) type in the number of segments you want, say 24, then start drawing. This should make the sphere seem smoother.

        You can increase the number of segments in the initial arc or circle you are using to generate the sphere. Unfortunately you cannot increase the number of segments in the finished sphere.

        Another point to note is that you should consider how smooth you need it to be. If your model is going to contain just the sphere and very little else, make it as smooth as you want. On the other hand if the sphere is part of a large model where the sphere is not going to be prominent, a very smooth sphere is only going to bog down your model unnecessarily.
