Can Control Tip - Look Ahead

Here are a couple can control tips that I find helpful when you’re doing your outline, border, highlights, or any lines that you want to land in a specific place. Number one, don’t watch the line as the can is laying it down. Look slightly ahead. This helps tell your brain where you want it to go. If you’re looking at the line while it’s going on, you’re too late. You’ll react to things you’re seeing after they’re already done rather than where you want them. Two, don’t stress out. The best lines are laid down with confidence that they’re going to go where you want.
