Description
So I was on the way home yesterday when I noticed a rather peculiar scenery in the clouds - a massive cloud which appeared very flatly colored, almost unnatural, like a part of the clouds behind it being cut out of the picture. It was so peculiar that I spent like 10 minutes staring into it (luckily, I wasn't the one driving ) and wondering, shouldn't I take a picture? However, I didn't have my camera and I really don't like taking pictures with a phone. So I just stared, marveling at the sight, which was equally beautiful and bizarre.

Turns out, when I stare at something memorable for so long, I kinda memorize it, at least for a while. Just before I arrived home it occurred to me - I didn't take a picture, but I could still try to draw it. A little ambitious since I am not really so skilled in scenery and besides, I had no reference safe for the memory in my head, which is a little less comprehensive for me when it comes to drawing it. Still, tonight I decided, Hell why not. Sat down and drew it. Within just half an hour!!! I know right! I canna believe it myself!
Heheh, joking aside, that's one of the things that I am rather proud of about this picture - it being super fast, as I had intended it. Another is that I did it entirely on memory and still I think I managed to reproduce what I saw yesterday evening rather accurately. I mean, the shapes of the clouds are probably not entirely accurate, but the colors and the overall feeling certainly are. And that is really something I am quite proud of.

Reference: none!

About only 30 minutes

Enjoy!

P.S. Weather has been quite dynamic and somewhat chaotic lately. Things like rainbows during a hailstorm begin to happen. But I enjoy the magic in the skies.
P.P.S. Also, this is one of those cases that my brother and I call a broken light model / skybox, in game dev slang. Something that, if you make it in a game, the QA will report as a bug Mother Nature doesn't care about that
