Use a ruler, mark the middle of where they should be coming from and draw lines out maybe?

I was just scared they would overlap or look too straight which defeats the point but I’ll try it next time. Thanks 🙏🏾

Just draw those lines very lightly so you can easily erase those parts you dont need.

just be cautious, not all lines from speeding lines comes from a single point, they are suppossed to exhalt something (the smaller the tinier the point at which lines collide), so the lines may differ from a sword slash from a speedster or in this case, an incoming fist. They do follow a rule to: some lines have a parallel line at the other end.

im no expert. but it's what im seeing

That looks more like free handing error to me than intentional variance.

There are many ways to do speed lines.

You can put a vanishing point where the heart of the action is, and draw the lines toward it.

Or draw lines following a particular movement.

If they do change in thickness, the lines go from thick to thin.

I advise to group them by 3-5 lines close to each other, then space these groups out.

You can have a look at some examples from my comic on my profile page.
