Little Leap, Wide Sky

Finished editorial illustration, landscape 8:3. Side view of one skier airborne just above a small rounded snow lip in the left third. Exaggerated oversized round lilac helmet, broad sage jacket, compact tucked legs, short parallel skis held nearly level; simple mitten hands hold two slim trailing poles. Face reduced to a tiny nose below plain dark goggles. A small detached shadow makes the low jump clear. Cream snow sweeps along the bottom beneath a pale lilac sky; leave the right half spacious and quiet. A softly bounded lighter patch behind the skier provides spotlight-like tonal emphasis, without an indoor setting or fixture. Bright midday feel. Hand-drawn marker contours, broad flat screen-print colour layers, slight ink overlap and sparse paper grain. Legible silhouette at thumbnail size, no intricate hatching, no distant figures or detailed scenery. No text, logos or watermarks.
