You just started learning Photoshop and you want to how can you draw a straight line in Photoshop. Though Photoshop is basically designed for photo editing, it also works great for graphic design.
In this tutorial, we're going to see how to draw a straight line in Photoshop.
You can use three methods to draw a straight line in Photoshop. These are

The first thing we need to do is to grab the Brush tool from the Tool panel or pressShift + Bagain and again until it activates.

Now, choose the color of the line. I am going with a shade of blue which is also the brand color of my site.
First, click on the dropdown which is marked with "1". After that, increase the hardness to 100.
Time to change the Spacing to 0. You might already have set it as 1% but let's double-check that. Go to Windows > Brush Setting.
Grab the round brush (orangish pink arrow) and set the spacing to 1% (yellow arrow).
Hold downShift, press and drag the cursor to draw a straight line. Note that you can draw a line only at an angle of 0o, 45o, and 90o.
