random trick to help you draw a straight line in photoshop

so we all know the trick in photoshop to draw a pin-straight line, shift+click. well if you didn't, now you do. But what if you're trying to draw an organic line? A line that is straight by nature, but with a little more personality? Mine always look kind of shaky and unsure, but I discovered a trick that has helped me.


starting with the example I have, you can see my template straight lines in grey. 


When I try to draw over them freehand, It looks like this. Not so good. 

I realized though, that I'm not so terrible at drawing horizontal lines. SO, using this tool, 


you can flip your canvas. 




Much nicer! 



Pretty, pretty lines!
