If you mean symbol drawing, read the sticky step one.
If you mean you cant draw a straight line, you practice till you can

Having a good "hand" is a training thing. A classic practice is to work in ink and consciously try to just draw practice pages full of lines - consistent straights, curves, thicks and thins (if using a brush or crowquill pen). For longer lines drawing with the whole arm and keeping the wrist steady is important. If you need help getting used to using your whole arm, work on large paper with an overhand grip and practice long lines - it's impossible to do lines that long with just your wrist, so you train your arm by default.

By building them up with smaller strokes.

that's called chicken scratches, and it's disgusting.
do what >>5010819 said and practice, otherwise you're just cutting corners because you hate learning.

No, it's called feeling the form and it's great. If you want clean lines you trace over it with a stabilizer.
