Practicing curved lines on a larger grid. Debating whether to give up with my curved font idea or not.

Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone would be able to give me a hand. I'm very new to fontstruct and have to produce a font in the next two weeks. I've tried so hard to create the results I'm after by experimenting.

With these curves, I scribbled some curved lines on tracing paper and taped to the screen to use as my outline. I'm finding it very difficult to create curves, but these are attempts using just square blocks on a large grid. My pickle is, my theme for the font is 'decorative' and seeing these only really work small, it wouldn't be a very practical font for the theme.

Is there any other way of creating curved lines? This is literally driving me mad! Haha!

Well, I don't know that I'd be much help as far as how to make such curves, I very much like making pixel art from games. But it would seem to me that your assessment is relatively accurate: that the curves are only really practical for the very small, and that otherwise you've really got to go big. For inspiration, two of my favorite decorative curve pieces are:

by the way, I quite like the curves you've got going on right now. I don't much see what your trouble is.

Here are a few sets of composite bricks that can help with creating curves. Just take a clone and then copy/paste into your own work ...
