How to use a mouse

[lofty fable]

soo basically i just started digital art but i dont have a stylus. need tips to draw straight lines or shapes using a mouse(would be really helpful)

Tbh i really dont recommend using a mouse to draw. It is possible but is very difficult and requires more personal examination than techniques that others can directly help with. We can only really give advice visually

damn i see.

If you can, i advise getting one of the lower end tablets. Theres some really cheap ones from xp pen that cost just as much as a mouse. They will be screenless but its a good idea to start with more budget friendly stuff before you try and get anything nicer in case you decide you dont like the medium. Reduces the amount of money going down the drain

I fw mouse a lot and in recent times I’ve preferred it completely over my drawing tablet

If you wanna try drawing straight lines, my first piece of advice is grabbing a different brush, usually w 100% hardness

That way you can clean up lines if they come out wrong a lot quicker

the pencil ones are good enough honestly

like the stock pencil tool has done more than enough for me
