ARTIST TIP: How to practice straight lines
Years ago I learned this simple but super effective method by watching a video of @FengZhuDesign
Steps:
1. make 2 dots with a certain distance
2. ghostdraw the lines before real drawing
3. draw the line
4. increase distance over timepic.twitter.com/kvARfIvu4U

Thanks for the mention Marcel! And one more: Try to keep your elbow on the table while drawing. Place the Wacom deep on the table to allow your elbow to swing naturally. This also takes the strain off your wrist and prevents carpal tunnel (still no wrist pain after 25 years).
Huge thanks Feng, for the additional tip! After I read your comment, I observed, how I do it. Actually I do it exactly this way naturally. :) I think, otherwise long straight lines would be really hard to do. So this came kinda automatically.
