Smoke

This drawing is for the contest Beautiful Creatures. I like doing these contest because it takes me out of my "comfort" zone.

This is my third attempt at this drawing. The first 2 were disasters. My first attempt was with an art pen, I couldn't seem to get it to work. My second attempt was scratchboard, however, it took me about 6 to 8 hours into it to "find" what I was looking for. You can see these attempts in my scrapes here[link].

Tools: 11 x 14 scatchboard

I re-uploaded this. I will never do another scratchboard that will not fit on my scanner (8.5x11). There was no way I could photo this were it didn't have a major glare. This is as good as it will get, I guess. (still has glare on the right side)
