Parallel lines are lines that are exactly the same as the one opposite of it. It makes you drawing boring, altough there are some cases where you want that. For example a stylistic cartoon show. 2/6

You could also usr a big shape first to start with drawing smoke. You can follow along with this drawing. 3/6

Adding a flow to the drawing. First a big line and adding smaller shapes and lines following it. 5/6

Of course it always depends on what style and meaning you're going for. But this is great!

Ahh, this classic trick! I was taught it in art school as "Cal State Cool," where you draw a series of curves on one side, but balance it with one line on the other side to simplify complex forms without sacrificing the line of action. Works everytime!

Honestly never thought to apply that to rock formations. I wonder how it'd look when mixed with sharp, jagged lines... 🤔

This is a good tutorial but this is basically "don't draw bad, draw good"
