Blue Dragon

I'm not good at this, and I can barely draw a straight line, but if I keep drawing, I think it would get better.

I think this is cute, actually. I love dragons. x3

I know how you feel about the whole straight line thing; when I draw, I feel like, normally, I can never make my lines look nice and smooth, either. Whether this is a technical issue, or I really just have a problem actually drawing smooth lines, I'm not so sure.
However, there IS a way to ensure that lines don't come out looking wiggly and jagged on the Oekaki. :D Do you remember seeing a little bar on the side of the drawing area that says "smoothing"? Well, sliding that up makes a gigantic difference~ It'll make the line come out more slowly (especially when it's set really high), but in return, it'll look much, much smoother. This has helped me immensely, personally.
Also, for completely-straight lines, there's a straight line-drawing tool button near the top that lets you draw perfectly-straight lines every time. Just be sure to click the regular line-drawing button again once you're finished, and want to go back to drawing normally.

I hope you'll find these tips helpful; keep having fun drawing. >w<
