This is too abstract by a few parsecs. (I'm tearing my hair out in frustration and raising my fist at the computer screen.) I think you should assign homework - detailed step-by-step exercises with a fixed number of repetitions, not "here's a concept, try to do that a lot".

All I can make out is: "Draw big, sloppy, messy lines roughly where you see your subject has lines. Start over. After 10000 hours of this, the lines will somehow magically start falling where they should be.". Is that anything like what you're saying?

That sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
