It seems you are using the Pencil Tool with a big spacing value. Thats why you get these dotted lines with jagged looking dots.
Try the Brush Tool for anti-aliased (=smooth) brushstrokes and set the Spacing to the standard 10%.

On a side note: when i open your file there is an active selection going on.
