There's a lot of little curves and angled lines in this picture
of an old experimental plane, isn't there? Don't dispair; here's a
few tried-and-true examples of lines and cirles, sent to me by a pal.
I think you'll find them useful when you want to make a picture that
needs curves and obliques in it:

And a few others I also use, although I'm sure a hundred other
people do, too:
