Bargue drawing Pt. III: Some drawing practice - mark-making 101

Some further observations on mark-making and examples. Ways of practicing and achieving smooth, broad drawing lines and strokes. These are an ideal kind of line to use for early blocking-in of a drawing, whether it is a Bargue copy or a figure drawing from life, or anything else in between. With practice -- and not even that much practice -- it can become second nature to make these smooth and elegant lines, and will simply be how you would start a drawing of any kind.
