Rotate Canvas (Tilt Your “Paper”)

• Shortcut:[CtrlR]

Details: Rotating your canvas allows you to draw at comfortable angles, just like turning a physical sketchbook. It keeps your hand steady, making it easier to draw smooth, natural lines.

Pro Tip: Rotate when you’re struggling to get a curve or line right. Find the most comfortable angle for your wrist, and your strokes will feel more natural.
