A line that doesn’t wobble

Every drawing is made of lines. A confident line comes from your shoulder, not your wrist.

1. 1Put two dots on the page.
2. 2Hover your pencil above the paper and move it from one dot to the other a few times without touching. This is called ghosting.
3. 3Then draw it in one quick stroke, moving from your elbow and shoulder.
4. 4Fast lines are straighter than slow ones. Don’t go back over it.
