Pen-Angle Consistency Across the Panel

How consistently your pen's stroke direction holds across several points in your panel, measured from the local ink orientation around each point you mark (a platform-declared measurement standard, not a historical figure) — an unstable pen angle signals inconsistent pen-grip control, not a letter-shape flaw
