More Tablet Practice

[brendala]

I'm getting a little better with using the tablet to draw/color stuff. Unfortunately, for some reason, Photoshop doesn't have an easy shortcut for drawing simple, straight lines. So my attempts to draw backgrounds or anything else the requires straight (or slightly diagonal) lines look like crap. If there are better digital drawing programs out there for Luddites like me, I'd love to hear about them!

Anyhoo, here's my latest attempt. Coloring one of my dopey Sly Cooper romance pictures!

Straight lines = Assuming you mean purely horizontal/vertical, hold SHIFT while making your mark.

I don't think it works for diagonals, so you'd have to use the actual line tool there.

As was already said, holding shift will make lines straight. (This works for any tool, even the eraser tool.) You can always use the line tool, too.
