How to draw a straight line

As most people I used to concentrate and stare at the nib of my pen or pencil in combination with biting my tongue when I needed to draw a straight line. The results were more than often not very satisfying.

Then I read about this simple trick. Instead of looking at the drawing tool in slow movement look at the endpoint of your line i.e. fixate the goal of the line and draw the line in fast movement.

Believe it or not that helps a lot.
Above you can see an exercise of this method for parallel lines on an A4 sheet. Try yourself ..after one sheet A4 of straight lines you will see the effect.

That´s it, I hope this tip was helpful!
