Hail to you, hero.
We would have all been lost without this information you have given us.

My Jayne,
>>1410156
Thank you for telling me the truth. However, you should have told me beforehand, as spring break can be foreseen, or you could even have found a moment during the holiday to write me.

My Jayne, you know there must be consequences.
But since it's your first slip, I'm going to be gentle.

>Dexterity Drill
Firstly, position your arm so that your elbow and shoulder are free.
If you rest your wrist against the drawing surface, you do it with little weight.
Keep your elbow and shoulder turning in harmony to create a gliding movement, with a strong wrist.
Move your wrist with the utmost subtlety and minimalism, if at all.
Such is the manner of a graceful, controlled, and healthy Artist's hand.

What you will do:
>Use a ruler or line tool to draw 8 lines like the related picture; make them as large as your screen or paper can fit.
>Use it as a template for freehand tracing in the difficult manner.
>Do not rotate the canvas or page, lest you defeat the purpose of the template.
>Trace over each line in the template once over (I suggest rotating like a clock).
>Attempt for steady perfection with each infuriatingly imperfect stroke.
>Complete the cycle 16 times.

Due 24 hours as of this writing.
