I absolutely love the way this came out. Not an easy piece to do, the lighting was complicated to say the least and getting the smoke to look like ... well, smoke took a bit of doing. In the end I think it was worth all the trouble. A piece like this one can test your limits but it also helps you grow and learn as an artist.

I've never seen smoke painted like that. It's amazing. Definitely worth the trouble. Great to see you pushing yourself even though you're so damn good already... I look forward to each of these and you never dissapoint.

I absolutely love the way you handle the pencils on top of the acrylics, or what ever which way you go about it. Amazing job! What did you use most of in this picture, colored pencils or acrylics?

You're welcome man. That's an awesome effect you did with the haze. Altho, I'd have gone for purple, to go with the song, it wouldn't have been as striking, sad to say. This really stands out and just makes you stand in awe.
