  • I figured this out in primary school when I realized I was creatively retarded..

  • I just use a ruler, its faster.

  • I've found this video through your "Fantasy Art School". Sorry, but you are so wrong about this - straight line (or any other line) drawn this way always looks hairy, amateurish, and ugly. Line drawn in a second, with one single stroke is the way to go , but it demands practice and experience. Anyway, you are just not ready to teach others to draw yet.

    I hope you don't see my comment as malicious, it wasn't my intention. Join art classes held by some pro, it will help you much. Good luck!

  • It's actually not possible to draw a perfectly straight line in the physical world. Let's say you drew a line with a pencil. If you zoomed in, that line would have little bumps and holes in it. If you filled them in, and zoomed in more, you would see the bumps again. Continue to do this and you'd go to an atomic level and lower. It's so much fun thinking about the possibilities of infinite recursion...

  • trolling in the deep?

  • Rhis is better for sketching than using the one straight line method

  • lol i always laugh when i see people drawing lines like that, it makes your lines look bad and choppy.

  • That's straighter than I can manage WITH a ruler.

  • i agree with drawing with a single stroke!!!

  • so pro

  • THIS IS WRONG.

    To draw a straight line, you draw ONE straight line. This take A LOT of practice, but it saves A LOT of time.

  • @corgiluver26 or take a ruler and put t+he pencil down by it

  • Or you can put your pencil to the paper then pull the paper..
