Usage Note
Trazo refers to a single mark made by a pen, brush, or pencil: un trazo firme (a firm stroke). In drawing it contrasts with línea, which is more geometric. By extension it can describe a broad outline of a plan: a grandes trazos means 'in broad strokes', a useful idiom for learners.
Examples
"Dibujó el retrato con trazos seguros."
Natural Translation
She drew the portrait with confident strokes.
