Does anyone know of some good photoshop exercises?

I originally posted this same question in the general forum, but I think it's more suited here.

Anyway, I have been having a bit of trouble with my line work, as it is very hard for me to get smooth lines while drawing in photoshop. I was wondering if anyone knows of some good exercise or anything in particular to practice in photoshop that can help me improve on this?

I think more than anything, its whether or not you set your brushes up correctly. Using pen sensitivity is vital when it comes to the smoothness and fluidity of lines draw through a tablet. Also, using gaussian blur to smooth, or other blurs also helps.

There are many many factors that come into play when drawing lines, so if you're more specific about what the lines are for and what you plan on doing with them afterwards I believe I could answer more directly : ).

Well, basically I want to have clean lines, probably of a medium to bold thickness that can "easily" be colored in later.

Use a hard round brush with varying opacity, and pen sensitivity : ). black or brown works best as a color

Do you just use that as you preset for every situation?

This is a good exercise to get fluidity in your drawings.

Thanks, these all seem great.

This is also good for traditional, since its just drawing practice in general.
