HOW DO I DO 25 CM STRAIGHT LINES
- Turn the paper 45 to 60 degrees. Adjust it to your convenience.
- Before drawing the line, simulate the gesture just above the paper*.
- Draw using the movement of your whole arm and chest.
- Draw parallel lines along the edges of the sheet, both widthwise and
lengthwise. - Check your lines carefully using the edge of another paper as a guide.
- Flip your paper, and retrace the slanted line using the “ghost drawing”. Your line should be much better.
- That movement may not seem natural to your arm (rotating by default). However, try to memorize and reproduce that same line covering the entire paper.
TIP Breath out when you trace the line to gain stability
