Here some example of exercise you can do for line quality


1.Draw a box and draw an X going from corner to corner
You now have 4 triangle in a box
draw horizontale and verticale parallel line
draw diagonal parrallel line

for more challenge try to place the line with the same rate of spacing between them

2.Do grind here the goal is that you create square of same size using only line

3.This exercise is almost the same you did it just a variant

4.Here you repeat a pattern inside an abstact space

5.This is just an example of standard exercise





I think when it come to improving line quality there 5 big factor 


1.How to use the arm for specific task
Lock the wrist for line 
Delock the wrist for small curve
Use the elbow for bigger curve

2.Surface of contact+type of surface
Be careful if you hand or finger touch the paper as it create resistance you can play with the speed of you movement by controlling the drag on the page by apply a bit of pressure but if you apply to much the line will start to wobble

3.Alway make sure that you can clearly see what you doing.Be aware of where you drawing on the page
I find out it best to draw line toward yourself because in that way the hand never obstruct you from seeing from point 
It also best rotate the page when doing diagonal most of the time.

4.Ghosting
Before placing a mark on the page describe the rythem of the mark

5.Drawing with confidence(gain over practice don't lose hope keep practicing and try to be aware of what you can improve be from in the previous factor)


Last advice try to draw on loose paper it less expensive and you can rotate the page easly just remember to put one hand on the page so it doesn't move or put tap so it doesn't move
