The reference is from George Bridgeman. I saw a post of an artist I admire though I can't remember who. Anyway, he said that to really know something draw it 18 times. That has a ring of truth to it. Repetition can help you understand a subject and the form it takes to draw it. After that though you still have to be fluid and flexible enough to keep the life in your drawing and not just put down the exact same lines in a pattern. We want lively happy lines, not boring dead lines.
