Hi i was wondering if any could help me out
i have had a hard time drawing my hand shakes alot in genaral and my hand writing is horrid GOD Willing i was wondering if anyone has some advice to help me draw straighter and better thank you and GOD Bless

This sounds like a strange thing, but Draw lines without a ruler. Draw lines all over a page; horizontal lines, vertical lines, diagonal lines... it helped me Don't worry if the lines are more like zig-zags when you first start off; as you practise, your finer motor skills will develop more

God Willing ill try it thanks

This may sound obvious but practise drawing your lines on gridded/lined paper. <.< >.>

Also, start small...try practising to draw straighter lines at 1-2 cm initially and then move on to make the lines longer as you gain better control over your hand. ^_^ Good luck!

You may sometimes find that you can draw horizontal straight lines better than vertical straight lines, or vice versa. If this is the case, you can rotate the paper to accomodate your strengths initially, and then try to work on your skills so you can draw both kinds of straight lines (or anything in between) well.

thanks for all the replys they help alot

Do you think if you are able to tilt your drawing surfact up a bit it might help? I don't know if it will do any good or if you've got something that will do it (or can rig something up) but maybe it could help as you might be able to rest your hand a little easier.

no i just have bad hand control but thanks
God willing ill just keep tracing the grids drawing the lines
as suggested Thank You all! And God Bless

Practice calligraphy, says Kaligraphic.

Also, many/most lines aren't quite straight. A study of curves can actually help you to draw straight lines, because you draw with more certainty. I suggest one of the more rounded styles of writing, such as a copperplate hand.
