I am trying some stuff to improve my line art but… I CAN’T DRAW STRIGHT DOWN!!!
help
Hello and welcome to the forum 
Do you mean that you, as an artist, are not capable of drawing straight down or is there something about krita that makes it difficult for you to do this
Can you post an image of your lineart on krita that illustrates your problem?
Ideally upload a full screen screenshot (.png).
hi thanx for replying… i just started digital art!!!
well, I’m not capable of drawing straight lines…
tips can really help
ohhh and thnx for replying sooooo fast… I really appreciate it!!!
Drawing straight lines is a skill that takes lots of practice and a steady hand.
If it’s hand/finger wobble problems you have then the Tool Options docker has a Brush Smoothing option and that can be set to Weighted or Stabiliser (with adjustable parameters) to get rid of hand wobble.
For truly straight lines, you can use the Line tool, the Polyline tool or the Polygon tool.
On a paint layer these will draw straight lines, connected lines or shapes that can only be changed later by erasing and redrawing them.
On a vector layer, you can later edit any line or polyline or polygon to move the vertices around and change line thickness.
If you’re just starting digital art and krita then you should read the manual:
Welcome to the Krita 4.4 Manual! — Krita Manual 4.4.0 documentation
On YouTube, a search for ‘Krita beginner’ will give lots of tutorials that will probably be of use or interest to you

If you are talking about drawing lines free hand, that’s just practice, just like with traditional art. Pro tip: use your whole arm not just the hand/wrist.

Practice drawing lines between two points. Just dab down two points and try to connect them in one straight stroke.
“ghost” your lines before you draw them. That is, make the motion a few times before actually pressing your pen down.
Remember you can rotate the canvas in Krita! Some directions are simply less comfortable to draw in. Rotating the canvas helps.
