Ellipse with a solid fill

[g r a n t]

Hello,
I am fairly new here. I can't find a clear answer online. I need to draw an ellipse and fill it with a solid fill. I've been drawing a circle/ellipse. This works fine. Then I selected the fill tool with solid fill. With a magic wand I clicked inside the ellipse. The fill takes the shape of a circle????? I tried to reshape the circle fill to no avail. My goal is to have a small ellipse with a solid fill to represent a bead of caulking/sealant for detailing purposes. Can somebody kindly show me how easy it is to do this? Thank you. Grant

Grant:

Go to the Magic Wand Settings... and change it from Deviation from Curves to Segments Along Circles, this will create a polygon that follows the ellipse shape.
