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!

Going for an honest rendering of curly hair, as it cascades and turns and twirls imaginatively down towards the Earth leads to a sort of sick desperation. Try to isolate each strand and follow it honestly down. You need a map of a type that is yet to be invented. The only redeeming feature of the exercise is that this frustration is extremely pleasurable to the eye and the drawing hand.
