I enjoy the geometric feel those extended lines add to the overall figure. Sometimes charcoal stick is bent, so it makes two parallel marks at the same time with only one movement of a hand. Quite often it results in a happy accident rather than an unwanted mark.

Sometimes I forget how short these 3-minute poses are, and concentrate too much on one particular part of the figure. As the result, I usually end up with armless Venuses xD
