Tyger sketches

I don't recommend drawing on lined paper for one particular reason you want to be able to draw freehanded without any form of premade guideline.

When you don't draw on lined paper you learn to control the proportion and angle and you learn to visually measure with negative space and you learn to do you own guideline.

It not a must but if you use lined paper you will probably find that you have trouble in the digital media.

Drawing on blank paper is about building confidence in you own ability to draw on any type of paper at anytime you won't probably have lined paper all the time so it best to just be able to draw on a blank paper.The only thing that lined paper teach us is that we can create guideline if we feel it needed

Here what i propose if you have still problem with angle.

On a blank sheet of paper

Find the four corner of the page using a ruler(30cm atleast) and draw a pair diagonal that cross to the opposing corner of that page.Do that on the left and right side.


One you have 2 diagonal crossing you will find that the intersection fall in the middle of the page from there you can create a verticale and horizontal guide

This is particularly useful when you have a limited space to draw on but is also useful in the digital media but there is a guide option for that.

This is not a critique but an advise.
