the reason it was so hard to draw a straight line at that scale is because of the paper grain. if you want to try it again, you should try a different paper, the smoothest you can find. a higher grade copy paper is probably good enough, but if not, a lot of european and asian papers are coated, making them much smoother

You have inspired so many people to become animators by making them create flip books of their own, flip books are the form of traditional hand drawn animation in books without the need of cameras, one of the oldest forms of animation along with Stop-Motion, right before computers created animation softwares like Adobe Animate, Toon Boom, Krita, Source Film Maker, Blender, etc.

@heatherkline6766 3 ай бұрын

the reason for being able to draw smoothly one way and not the other has to do with the grain of the paper. if you try to tear paper, you will find that one direction tears more cleanly than the other; the smoother tear is along the grain, the rough tear is against it that is, perpendicular.

A little something I discovered doodling around as a kid in school: It's much easier to draw a nice line if you purposely try to make it squiggly. In your case, if you try to make a squiggly line super concentrated (but horizontal), it should turn out to look like a perfectly straight line. Play around with it. You'll see what I mean.

@spamuel98 3 ай бұрын

the straight line problem might have something to do with an issue I first heard about when I started messing around with book binding, that paper has a grain pattern like wood. I had to check the grain direction for the cardstock cover sheets to avoid the glue causing it to swell and shrink, but at those sizes the grain might be going across the line you're trying to draw instead of along it, which would explain why the diagonal lines came out nice since that would be at least partially in the same direction as the grain.
