Answer 1

You can draw an ellipse with pygame.draw.ellipse:

import 
pygame.init()

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((300, 300))
clock = pygame.time.Clock()

run = True
while run:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False 

    screen.fill(0)
    pygame.draw.ellipse(screen, "red", (50, 100, 200, 100), 3)
    pygame.display.flip()
    clock.tick(60)

pygame.quit()
exit()

You can also use this with the code from one of your previous questions (How to remove the previous rect draw in pygame?):

import pygame 
pygame.init()

window = pygame.display.set_mode((1000, 700), pygame.RESIZABLE)
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
pygame.display.set_caption("Illustrator")

def main():
    run = True
    rectangles = []
    start_of_new_rect = None
    while run:
        clock.tick(100)
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                run = False
                
            if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
                start_of_new_rect = event.pos
                print(start_of_new_rect)
                
            if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP:
                w = event.pos[0] - start_of_new_rect[0]
                h = event.pos[1] - start_of_new_rect[1] 
                new_rect = pygame.Rect(*start_of_new_rect, w, h)
                new_rect.normalize()
                rectangles.append(new_rect)
                start_of_new_rect = None
   
        window.fill("white")

        # draw the scene
        for r in rectangles:
            pygame.draw.ellipse(window, "blue", r)
        if start_of_new_rect:
            mx, my = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
            new_rect = pygame.Rect(*start_of_new_rect, mx - start_of_new_rect[0],  my - start_of_new_rect[1])
            new_rect.normalize()
            pygame.draw.ellipse(window, "blue", new_rect)

        pygame.display.flip()

    pygame.quit()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
