- Draw the Countourn of the shape

You can Copy/Paste Rulers to aid the drawing process.
Just Right-Click on the ruler while on the Operation/Object tool;
If you don't have a keyboard shortcut to quick switch to the Operation tool, do it now. It's super-handy.
In my case I use the 'O' key.

Just discovered...
Selection -> Copy -> Paste on a 3D figure layer will *automatically* create a new layer with a mask.
Unlink the mask from that layer and you can use as a window to frame a specific part of the model.

If you need to visualize how a graphic would be rotating/spinning (eg.: sprite for a game or particle).
Convert the Layer to a FILE OBJECT then use the Operation/Object subtool to rotate.

Digital Artist here - but always amazed how important/useful is to know the 'real-world' size of my stuff:

Here's a little suggestion if you're also going to spend a day or two installing PS brushes :))
(A) When you import and then delete a brush it's 'content' still on the disk, probably in \DOCUMENTS\CELSYS
It can be a pain when you try to make a manual backup.

Unpopular Opinion:
We download all those brushes but none *feel* better than that we already have.
Here's an idea:
BRUSH SHAPES can be use to get the most of a custom brush WHILE keeping the Configuration (Pressure Curve, eg.) of yours.
It's like changing skins on your Main.

It´s tricky, I have to admit.
In your screenshot I can see a little green pattern filled closer to the tail´s end. I removed that and grossly converted the drawing to PB again.
These are my working settings.

Back in the day I told you that is possible to check the values of a painting using a black layer set to COLOR mode.

If you have been using the Dark UI previously 1.95 update - you may find the interface too Dark (high-contrast).

Sketch with low opacity brush is good to `build up` the drawing but when shading you get this harsh effect.

To make sure is clear (sorry, not a native english writer here):

There's this method using a custom Selection Pen.
Doing this way you can *preview* the straight line before drawing it.
The variation of the line is achieved because you`re drawing inside the selection...
