Hey /ic/,

I just got my first intuos tablet and have run across a dilemma. Normally, with pencil and paper, I consecutively draw short lines to make one long line, and it's worked for me so far, but now that I have a larger canvas to work with, it's turning out horrible. I lose my sense of direction and I haven't been able to put out anything as good. Should I just practice drawing longer lines, or is there something else to it?
