A skydive from 16000ft lasts only one minute. In that precious time you can screw up in a hundred different ways. There are a thousand different ways to screw up a drawing in one minute, and this is a catalog of a few. I shall draw you on the beaches, on the landing grounds and on the hills, and I shall never surrender. And you will comment on how "Meh, it's ok but it doesn't really look much like me", 'cause everyone's a critic, goddamit!

Cloud Dipping
I remember fondly my first cloud dipping. I thought it would feel a bit wet...I aimed at a small cloud and stared at it. For a long while it seemed to stay very very quiet, barely approaching at all. Then a small noticeable movement, and suddenly a crazy rush towards me, filling my whole field of vision in a fraction of a second. A flash of white, no tactile sensation at all, and it was gone, leaving only a huge smile on my face, that still sometimes resurfaces at the oddest moments. Next time I must find a bigger one!...

For some reason this reminds me of Mervyn Peake. His book Letters from a Lost Uncle has some pencil work like this.(paricularly the cloud.)
OMWO forgive me for exploring the blog. I'm enjoying your journey.

You are welcome. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :) I was glad you reminded me of this post. It's been a while since I last jumped, and it brings fond memories...
