When drawing straight lines on canvas. You have to be a ware of the sag of the material. When you push on the canvas of course it will sag. Now your line has a curve to it.
To prevent this I used a piece of foam core board and place it behind the canvas. I wedge it between the material and the wooden frame to give it strength.
Now I can use a straight edge to get my lines for the stick
