Ngere Smile a While!

Please do not stop eyeballing but do not forget to check by measuring. The goal is to train your eye.

I too have the book my favorite study tool. While at the academy I learned a lot about what to do with the Bargue drawings. For example plates 1,1 - 1,4 are a challenge for them self. The plates 1,5 - 12, 1,41,42, 49 are the ones to start with for the study of construct, simple tones or values and how they relate to each other. Make the best copy that you can of the original. Paste it on a board and beside it paste the paper you wish to draw on (Light value Canson is good). Draw a plum line on both and then measure and establish the height of the original. To train properly use the sight size method. This is just the proper setup for drawing rather than casts. As you know the instructions are in back of the book. I hope this helps.

One more thing do not neglect thumb nail sketching. Good source for instruction is the Andrew Loomis book Fun With a Pencil and have fun.
