Transfer is NOT ON. That means No opacity/flow jitter whatsoever. Those should also be at 100% in the toolbar also. See the 'Smoothing' is checked, it will help with smoothing your line, but it doesn't fix everything... basically, the fast and looser your draw, the better your line.

Note: Though you could use a 80-90% opacity though for your linework to leave a slight hint of transparency and that could be interesting?... it just depends on the look you want to go for.

Your line looks a little blotchy like you were 'feathering' along to create a long line by building it with tiny strokes? It's better to zoom out and tilt the canvas how you using rotation feature to make that long sweeping line... If you have CS5 or newer, you can use the 3D accelerated canvas rotation feature for this. You don't seem to be using a low enough minimum diameter for your brush size in the painting, so if you turn that down, that should probably help you get a whispier line.

*** Doesn't doing this repeatedly have some negative side effects? I'm not sure, but when I rotate images using the free transform tool, it usually leads to some artifacts, especially around sharp edges or line.

I'll be sleeping soon and I seriously just checked before bed. I will come back with a more detailed post later... but I can answer this part quickly:

The tool I pointed out in the screenshot is not a permanent rotate. It does not actually alter the image in any way. It's just a 3d accelerated feature in the newer Photoshop(s). It's like for when you need it to draw a line in a weird angle. It's the same as if you turn a piece of paper in real life to get at something better with a pencil. There's a reset canvas button at the top when you're done.

I think there's a quick flip canvas feature too that you can do with a shortcut key, but I don't remember it off hand...... I just use the perma-flip and then hit undo when I'm done checking the image that way.
