| | Pete, I'm not Michael, but I think the purpose of this drawing was to visualize and make concrete the critical components of the painting he is about to work on. I think the same things though.
I bet the subjects were sitting while he was drawing-- unless he drew them while orbiting earth or in one of those diving planes : ).
I like the way their feet are stretched out in front of them. They have propelled themselves towards their goal with enthusiasm, and they have their feet stretched out to meet it. They're not just jumping up, to fall back down to where they were before. They are jumping toward some place new.
