Smokin' Hotby =kelch12

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

I saw this picture of a girl with hot peper in her mouth. Then I thought, "That's a perfect with some smoke." Just becase I wanted to draw smoke, I went through the trouble of making this fun piece. Hope you like this "Smokin' Hot" drawing.

I would like to demonstrate smoke within a light background and also in a darker background. I did it.

Pencil: 4H, 2H, HB, 2B (mixed brands)
Paper: 11x14 Strathmore 300 Bristol Vellum
Other: kneaded eraser, brush (for hair only)
Duration: 10/05/2011 - 01/08/2012

Critique by ~Sugar-H Jan 19, 2012, 12:19:09 PM

Generally, this is a very brilliant idea, turning a red pepper into a smokable subject can truly reflect its hotness.. well done

also the hair can be viewed thread by thread.. its preciseness is remarkable..
the hatching is quite smooth and the smoke's shape is correct..
my main critique is on details, I think this artwork could have more of them, for example peppers should have more wrinkles.. adding baby-hairs can make the hair even more realistic.. some skin textures and adding more dots and spots on the face can also make the point..
less round shapes and more hard angled ones can decrease the unnecessary smoothness..
more contrast is recommended, some dark blacks and white glows can make it better.
finally, the idea is great and you've done a good job
