I can draw a somewhat straight line especially if I use the 2 point method but whenever I try to apply my learnings I noticed I can't really eyeball a straight vertical/horizontal lines. It's always slanting instead of being straight. So I have to rely on a right angle ruler to check if my lines are straight or slanted and its such a pain cause it messes up the start of my boxes.

I want to be able to eyeball if my line is straight or if it's at an angle, are there exercises I can do?

Did lesson one actually end up helping you like, at all? like did it genuinely help you and an artist?

Like does spending that entire first lesson drawing all those boxes, did is actually help you like, at all?

I ask because when I started drawing these exercises were never part of my learning, we just broke down figures into their basic shapes and then applied that to the type of art we wanted to learn.

Like I see so many "I finished lesson one" posts and I'm just like...oookay? but what did that teach you?
