I just make good use of the undo keys, performing a stroke as many time as necessary before it looks the way I want. Don't forget that CS4 lets you rotate the canvas like you would rotate your paper.

to practice drawing straight lines on paper, draw a series of dots and go from one to the other with ONE stroke. do a couple sheets like this a day and you'll get the hang of it quickly.
heck, i still do this and a page of ovals to warm up before getting into any serious drawing.
Hold shift to draw 90 degree lines with the brush tool.
Ah yes thats right, maybe I should set my bamboo's rotate touch pad thingy to rotate the canvas. This will help, because I can only draw straight lines upward.Originally Posted by Con
Thanks SnaF, thats good advice.
That's a great idea, I'll take that to heart.
Gradient tool.
Only helpful for cell style art.
Draw with your shoulder instead of your wrist. May seem weird at first, but it gives more control and straighter lines.
A tip I was given was to never rest your wrist/forearm on the table, always draw a line with your arm raised off whatever it's resting on. You're probably already doing this but it means you won't be drawing arcs.
uh, no, draw with your whole arm, move your joints.
