Angle Line Feature?

Support and Advice General Questions
1

I usually use a softer, more freehand and blended style, but recently wanted to explore some new techniques including a more angular, sharp-edged style.

I’ve been utilizing the straight-line tool for my linework, but was wondering if there was any way to create a line that is at a certain angle. Specifically, if I wanted to draw a 90-degree line so it would be parallel to the edges of my canvas is there a feature that could help with this? If so, where can I find it/how can I access it?

Thanks!

Can’t you just draw a line on the canvas edge and then move it? Since it snaps to image border. Otherwise, you can make a grid and snap to that. Or am I misunderstanding something?

Hi! Try holding “V” when using the brush tool. Holding “V” and then holding “Shift” will snap the lines to angles (like 90 degree and similar)! :grin: It works with pressure and any brush!

Thanks for your help, KnowZero! I could draw lines on the canvas edge and move them, but I would prefer to be able to draw them where I wanted to put them.

However, would you be willing to explain how you can make and snap lines to a grid?

Sure, open up the grid and guides docker, and set up how you want your grid size and offsets. Then View->snap to->grid or ctrl+shift+; , you can also create guides and snap to those too
