If required, you can use Select > Invert
You literally just revolutionized the way I use the fuzzy tool lol bc I didn't realize you could do that
I did have to do the invert part because without it it outlined the edges of the canvas. Seriously since I know this trick I've been using it tons

As you have discovered by now there are usually several different ways to get an end result. Eventually you will get your own set of favourite procedures, might not be the best way or easiest way but will suit you.
For your two little drawings and an outline. Remember you are allowed to use the eraser tool
Other than using a quickmask (my favourite) I might do something like this; duration 54 seconds. https://youtu.be/Xe1Yfbo-qxM

'Outer Glow' is based on Gaussian Blur. When you crank up the 'Spread', you have full control over how antialiased your border gets.
Hmm this is interesting..I will definitely play around with this in future if I want a broadly blended outline
