      Hi, don’t know if you’re still having trouble with this, but if you are, just take about some time to draw lily petals, first alone, then in abstract combinations and then come back to this video. You need to get “smoke” out of your mind so that you can focus on the shapes.

    Hi everyone! Here's my drawing of Smoke! I really hope this video is helpful in some way. I uploaded a similar drawing a few months ago but there were a few issues which meant that I had to take the video down unfortunately. So I wanted to make another version to replace it! It also meant that I had another opportunity to work on a new smoke drawing which I actually really enjoyed haha.
    Thank you so much for the continued amazing support. I really appreciate it. Hope you're having a great day!

    This was so helpful, whenever I search tutorials online I always fine ones where they either don't speak and just do a speed draw or ones when it's not speeded up and they're just rambling. This was straight to the point and clear and I understood everything

I'm going to practice this with pencil on paper, then try acrylics on paper, then on scrap t-shirt cloth. I hope I can pull it off.
