The straight line exercise seems different to what I've been told to practice previously. It doesn't suggest to try and sketch over the same line several times. Now i'm confused to which works best :S Thanks for that PDF it has some useful stuff in. The straight line exercise seems different to what I’ve been told to practice previously.

Tablet drawing is "slippery" compared to nib on the grain of paper. I think the strongest aspects of drawing digitally goes to what a lot of the other people said. Fast overlays in layers, zoom in and draw small details big physically then when you zoom back out your small details are tight. Think of your first basic drawing classes and practice some of those exercises. I like to wash the page with a medium tone in the airbrsuh tool, pull out hi-lites with varying the eraser and then add some contrast tone with darker airbrush on another layer (shape those tones with the eraser if necassary) then as a last step put down my "pencil" lines. Draw from life, still life, models etc from your tablet, it was my experience that the muscle memory of a tablet is different from that on paper. Stay on the tablet for what ever length of time untill you've built some trust and confidence in the tool, then go back and forth from time to time, it adds to you skill set and different working situations will always have one or the other.

However, using a guide is not a bad thing. Nah it’s paper, and I agree with the align to path comment while practicing. However, using a guide is not a bad thing.
