Help with Artwork (Photoshop)

[twinightcreep0]

Hey guys.
After years, I finally decided to get out my drawing tablet.
Was never any good, but decided I am going to give it another go.
Drawn the initial sketch of Baymax and now onto the outline. I've started doing it but not sure how I should do the rounded bits to keep them looking smooth?
Don't want to draw multiple lines as it'll look bad, and want the whole thing to stay smooth.
I'm using the Wacom Intuos Pen & Touch in Photoshop CC.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Twinight

Updated with image, sorry it wasn't working!

I'm not very good either, but what I usually do is try and make the line in one go and if it looks bad just delete it and retry.

I've done that multiple times, it's just the rounded parts.

You could make one side and clone it over?

 

[twinightcreep0]

The best thing to do is to use the pen tool, it produces smooth, curvable lines.

For the whole thing?

 

[twinightcreep0]

Do a line at a time and merge the layers, it will look clean.

I mean, for the whole outline, or just the bottom curve?

 

[twinightcreep0]

It could easily do the whole outline, it can do straight and curvable lines.

Alright. I'll give it a go.
May I PM you if I need help?

Still looking for help.
Is the pen tool the best way?

You can try using the circle to do the rounded bits and then erase the unneeded parts. Hopefully you understood that. xD

I Always draw it by myself, I mean, I do the complete round with no tools or other..just, try and try

It really takes time to use a tablet if you have not used one much before. you just need to keep going at it so you can get your hand to eye coordination(since theirs no screen you cant watch you hand while looking at the screen.) usually when using Photoshop i keep my hand on the undo button so i can quickly undo and retry at lines when doing them. also the rotate tool is very useful for smoother lines to so you can get a good angle.

Stop using Photoshop !!!
Photoshop dosen't have stabilization !!!
You need a program with stabilization for a tablet graphic (to line look smoth ).
I use Manga Studio, but i know anoughter program named Paint Tool Sai (my personal i don't like Paint Tool).
Use stabilization at 15 max 20.
And off corse practice practice practice practice practice !! :tup:[DOUBLEPOST=1496341675][/DOUBLEPOST]Exemple

I have to draw the whole round bit of the body in one stroke, is it possible to do?

with lazy nezumi it is. but i dont know why u need to do that. usually i just smoothly keep going around multiple strokes and just make sure the lines match where u left off. once you zoom out it should look fine.
