Jump!





'Jump' for Illustration Friday.
I don't know if this counts as a jump but I'd love to know how fish, dolphins etc manage to leap out of the water.  Do they build up speed first?  I'm sure there's an explanation!

I love the goldfish's facial expression! no doubt he'll jump back in when he's ready.

I love how you composed your painting where you just see a hint of the fishbowl. Terrific.
