Question

How do you get the sleeves the same size?

Community Answer

Use a ruler to measure out and straighten the sleeves. If you are going for a more realistic look, don't worry about an exact measurement and just estimate it.

Make the bottom of the shirt curved so it looks more realistic (unless you want it to look cartoon-ish).

Warnings

If you draw in class, listen and take notes at the same time -- concentrate, while doodling in the margins and between notes. Some teachers don't mind doodling on good notes, especially if it is related-to/illustrates the topic.

Thanks
