I dont think Im explaining it too well but if you didnt understand Pm and Ill explain in pictures. Thats what I do best. :P

4. You really don't know how to explain, do you?
Path tool:
First of all, to make the lines smooth, you have to use the "Path tool".
The icon of this tool can be found on your toolbar as a "pen".
Well, to use it, you have to set where the line will start, and where it will finish.
After you set it, there will a purple line.
You can manipulate with the line, so you can set it the way you desire.
After that, on the toolbar there will be a button saying "Stroke Path", click it.
A window will appear.
On that window, you have to set how wide will the line be, and when you're done with that, click "ok".
Round Select tool:
It can be found on the toolbar with a round icon.
This tool is used to set boundries of the thing you want to draw.
Note: when you set the boundries, you will only be able to draw in the circle you made.
So, draw anything you want in there.
If you want to draw an eye, first you have to color the circle with a black colour.
After that , theres a toolbar saying "file,edit etc." and right next to these there will be a button saying "select".
Click it and look for a button saying "shrink".
When you click the "Shrink" button a window will appear where you have to set how much you want to shrink the boundries, it could be 1,2,3,15, anything you set.
After you set it, click "ok", and the toll will shrink the boundries.
Than, you can colour the circle to whatever you want.
After you finish drawing, just click anywhere on the image if you want the boundries to disappear.
