5. How to Draw Straight Lines | |
See how the line is drawn on top of the preview? This is a powerful feature of the Paint Brush. You can use it with any of the tools shown in step 3, or even draw more lines at the end of this one. Our last step is to let go of the Shift key. And there you have it. Some more examples are shown below. Questions? Comments? Let us know. Happy GIMPing!
