Doki Doki Drawing Episode 2: The Straight Line Challenge

Welcome back to Doki Doki Drawing, where creativity meets humor! In this second episode, our host is joined by special guest Tony, who's already expressing frustration about getting the difficult challenges while the host takes the easy way out. The challenge of the day? Drawing a straight line. Yes, you read that right – a straight line! Tony is not looking forward to it, joking about needing to get their stylus ready and having performance anxiety.

As Tony begins to draw the straight line digitally using Clip Studio, the host humorously notes that 98% of people who use the software for the first time struggle to draw a straight line. Will Tony be part of that statistic?

Drawing Straight Lines with a Stylus

But before we dive into Tony's attempt, let's listen in on a conversation between two individuals about drawing a straight line on a tablet. One person is surprised that the other drew a straight line without holding the shift key, using a stylus and an analog ruler on the tablet. The drawer claims to have drawn a straight line, but the other person disputes this, saying it's not even remotely straight.

The conversation is lighthearted and playful, with both individuals joking and teasing each other. The drawer attempts to draw another straight line, with the other person providing comedic commentary. The exchange ends with the drawer declaring victory and "big brain energy" over the other person.

Drawing Techniques for Straight Lines

Now, let's get back to Tony's attempt and learn some valuable techniques for drawing straight lines. Our host shares their experience drawing straight lines, which they claim to be very bad at, despite their mind having uniformity. They joke about being able to do it all day, but the lines are not straight, and even sneezing can affect the drawing of a straight line.

So, how do you draw a straight line? Our host reveals that there is a way to get straight lines, but was initially hesitant to share the method. They eventually explain that when drawing something, people tend to "choke up" on their strokes, which can lead to wobbly lines.

Using Whole Arm for Confident Strokes

One technique to achieve straight lines is to use your whole arm, not just your wrist. This allows for swift and nice strokes, also referred to as "drawing with the elbow." This analog technique can help you draw confident and straight lines.

Additional Tips

Additionally, our host shares two more tips:

• Avoid using your wrist to draw, as it can result in goofy lines.
• Use confidence when drawing to achieve straight lines.
