    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.

    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.

  • @jcortese3300
    @jcortese3300 2 місяці тому +1

    I think when you had trouble drawing a straight line in that one particular direction, you may have been going against the natural grain of the paper. It doesn't matter too much at normal scale, but at super-dramatic scale, suddenly it interferes with the point's smooth movement.

    So it's literally your heartbeat that is causing the shake along with the fatigue. If you watch the replay, it's rhythmic. It's something snipers have to learn to compensate for.

    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.
