How to steady my hand when drawing?
Ok I like drawing on paper but I also wanted to try drying on a computer. I downloaded inkscape simply because I don't have the money for photoshop. The problem is is when I draw to draw with the mouse the lines go crazy. There all over the place. I was trying to draw a manican to start a character and when I was drawing the oval for his head it didn't look like an oval at all. Looked like someone doing cocaine trying to draw a circle but failed epically. How can I steady my hand to not shake so much and to draw straighter lines.

Drawing with a mouse IS possible. But only LOTS of time and practice will steady your hand enough to create smooth lines. Drawing with a mouse has been compared to "drawing with a brick." Slow and awkward, at best.
That's why digital drawing tablets were invented. It is considerabley more intuitive and natural feeling since it is a pencil like stylus in one hand and a tablet surface on the other hand. Yes, there is a cost associated with it, but that comes with ANY tool. Consider the cost of your computer when compared to the cost of a pencil and piece of paper. While you practice with your mouse, consider your next purchase to be a low cost digital tablet. If you shop around, you CAN find one for fifty dollars or less. Even a retail priced Wacom can be found for under eighty dollars. By way, even this tool requires lots of time to get used to.
The next logical step may eventually be a tablet on which you can draw directly on the sceen. Tablet PCs, this year, start at around $400. A new iPad starts at $500. The Cintiq models run about a thousand dollars and up.
But with a mouse, you REALLY just have to spend time in practice. Don't expect to produce any "masterpieces" until you, either, perfect the technique with your existing equipment, or upgrade your digital tools.
Good luck.

My hand shakes a lot when I try to draw. I use a lot of long curves to hide the slight "bumps" in the line. Generally it might be important to keep a straight hand but its not necessary to make a great drawing. Sometimes lines are misshapen and they are hidden with other things meant to look misshapen.
