CLI "ASCII art" is dependent on the font used. If you change your font size to an 8x8 character set then it will be much easier (but your text will look awful!). That's why we tend to use GUIs to do imagery. :-) The effort to make a circle look circular in a CLI is vastly disproportionate to the benefit since you need to detect font sizes etc and have compensating parameters that you can multiply by. And if the user picks a non mono-space font things get even more difficult.
