(10/6) Daily Practice Week One

Practice 1: Monday (10/5)

3,570 dots - 25 minutes - Common Room

The previous day I set up the drawing with a light pencil sketching of the facial features to lay a ground work (and to put my mathematical mind at ease).  I found that counting the dots was exceedingly more difficult than I imagined.  I would pause mid-dotting just to remember where I was, or what number came next.

Practice 2: Tuesday (10/6)

3,397 dots - 25 minutes - Dorm Room

I had to count while music was on this session, since my roommate was on his laptop.  If I asked, he would have turned it off, but I sort of wanted to see what would happen if I kept it on in the background.  I had to train my mind to only listen to melody, because the second I would start to hear the words, my mind could no longer count the dots... or I would forget what I was doing.

Total Dots: 6,967
