In my M.5 art class, we were going to learn to draw a lotus flower graphic. The training was maticulous. Much like learning ¡. ä¡è we had to draw the same petal on the paper over and over again.... at least 100 times a day. Then we would move on to the next petal and so on. It was at the end of my stay...the last day, that I was able to put it all together and create the final flower. (and I have a sinking suspicion I only got to do that because I was leaving). The results? I can now draw that same flower with precision. I also tattooed it to my leg so I'd never forget!
