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.
OMG. I've been trying to figure out how to draw smoke for over 20yrs (I didn't research, I'm just a doodler) and you taught me with the words "like ribbons". I completely understand the dynamics now. Thanks!
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! -Chris
areyona ivey I tried and it didn't come out too bad, definitely not as good as the one in the video for obvious reasons but I'm pretty happy with the result
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 love this. i used this smoke effect for one of my drawings that symbolized the loss of control and i love how it tied everything together. thank you so much
Thanks this really helps I needed to figure out how to draw ashes cause I'm drawing a cover for this school magazine so not exactly what I needed help with but still great 👍
The hardest thing to do, is see things properly in your mind. By explaining about ribbons, was the best advice for someone to study, & understand. Good to see art by HAND is still interesting to people!
I loved how you described how the foldings of the smoke and explained how it was shaped. This video was great in teaching how to make layers and folds. Thank you so much!
Perfect timing, Chris. I'm playing a bit with watercolors and pencil together. I painted a pumpkin house (whimsical) with a chimney and want to add smoke to the mix. THIS will help tremendously! Thank you, again, for sharing your exquisite talent! Cheers!
.darinダリン desu --I know this sounds stupid but I haven’t been obsessed with RUclips until recently. I’ve seen a lot of people say similar things”you deserve subs, you should be subbed, why aren’t you being subbed” etc. can you explain this to me?
if theres a background you can do this in reverse. the smoke is white so draw everything around it and where you can see through the smoke. this seems like negative image smoke but its nice
Thanks for this. I did much better than I thought I would after watching your tutorial. I'm not bragging, because I didn't do fabulous, but, it actually could pass for smoke. You are a Wonderful Artist.
This is beautifully hypnotic to watch. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. I'm working on a Nightcrawler (from X-Men) painting on a tshirt and I just don't know how I would pull off the teleportation smoke. 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.
I knew the basics of drawing smoke, but decided to improve by watching this vid. It taught me the basics again, but I can't include the new details too much. I guess I'll try sticking with my own smoke style :(
Have you tried drawing realistic fire? It would be interesting to see how you would go about the structure and blending. I've painted it with airbrush but have never been able to draw it.
You sir are a genius! I tried your method and it was a disaster. I'm in love with the idea of drawing/painting but whatever I do ends up looking horrible. Anyhow I burned the paper I attempted this on and whoa! that was perfect smoke!
Apart from the very helpful tutorial I have to say two things: first of all you're very, VERY talented, that drawing is awesome. Secondly, your voice is so calming! (sorry if that sounded weird but I always pay a lot of attention to people's voices)
Hey Chris, Just wanted to say thank you; your videos have been immensely helpful to me, and I hope you never stop... I got back into drawing & sketching etc. because of your vids xxx
“Pretty relaxing to work on”
Me having a mental breakdown bc I can’t draw SMOKE

LethalChris Drawing Why was it taken down?

LethalChris Drawing awwe I'm sorry that happened to you, I hope it doesn't happen again with any other videos!
LethalChris Drawing the first movie where I see an attempt to explain what you are actually doing, which gives me a chance to succeed!
I'm definitely trying this.
I'll get mad because I won't be able to do it but I'm still trying it.
(Yes I know I need to practice)
Mmm... Maybe you need to practice.

That's pretty amazing :D Thank you for this great tutorial! *goes to draw smoke*
Liron Yanconsky lol
Liron Yanconsky well done never seen smoke drawn before with such refines. Excellent
*fails miserably*
@@crustyvinylz9478 źźźźź
This was therapeutic for me more than anything.. absolutely beautiful
I love watching tutorials like these, they make me feel so inspired.
Thanks this really helps I needed to figure out how to draw ashes cause I'm drawing a cover for this school magazine so not exactly what I needed help with but still great 👍

your shading is absolutely amazing
I loved how you described how the foldings of the smoke and explained how it was shaped. This video was great in teaching how to make layers and folds. Thank you so much!
Your voice is so calming omg

after watching most of your videos, I do start wondering how many years you’ve been drawing to achieve where you are..amazing work!
this is definitely my favorite video
Lovely, so perfect! Thanks for teaching!
Wow this was breathtaking
why did it get taken down??? But I do think that you nailed the smoke.... just like last time, good job😊😊😊
Thank you for telling the anatomy of the smoke or how it works that auctually helps a lot
You’ve got such a relaxing voice, very soft spoken
great job never stop drawing bruh
WOW! That is great.
Describing as a piece of ribbon is genius for visualisation on how to draw it!
i swear that smoke is so dramatic. anyways, watching this is so relaxing. good job!
I love how your videos are quick but not too quick and not really long either. 😃😃
sat there for several hours one time and could not work out a way to get it looking this good, bookmarked
That ribbon explanation though helps a hell of a lot
Thank You! People seem to forget doing tutorials for stuff like smoke and other things besides human anatomy, poses and backgrounds
This is lovely, and very relaxing to watch.
You did great job!
Having watched your videos I have a mentor now. You're very commendable and amiable person. 😊
Thanks for this video!
I use a small piece of rectangle paper and I fold it up so it's small and I use it as a blender. I'm broke and this works great!
yessss....i was looking for that video. i was wondering what happened to it
Great drawing!!well done!!like!
It kind of also looks like ink in water, really awesome!
While watching this it's so satisfying to watch it while learning it Awesome job

YukiChan ha lmao

Lmao
Gadamn thats bad ass!! its alot less complicated then i thought it would be. cant wait to try.
This is worthwhile technique to be shared. Thank you
Awesome! Your technic is pretty good!
You could make another video using a white pencil over some dark paper. It would be awesome too.
how can some one be this talented
Dude!!! So awesome! You gained a follower or two for sure just from this video alone. Good work man, keep it going.

beautiful. I can't help but see a crying lady with her hands on her face. this would be so cool to try and turn into a sculpture.
This is so memorizing to watch.
I have been struggling with smoke for a long time you made this look so easy I cant wait to give it another shot after this Thank you a TON!

So beautiful and elegant
if theres a background you can do this in reverse. the smoke is white so draw everything around it and where you can see through the smoke. this seems like negative image smoke but its nice
Wow great work Chris I love it

Hey Chris,
Just wanted to say thank you; your videos have been immensely helpful to me, and I hope you never stop...
I got back into drawing & sketching etc. because of your vids xxx
First, I think it must be CGI, I cant believe that someone can draw something amazing like that.
