This portrait was done after I saw a woman smoking a cigarette while looking at her son playing with other kids. is not the exact woman, I just got the idea from that image of a thoughtfull woman smoking, I find really relaxing when I draw someone smoking, maybe I feel them like they are in some other world and not really seeing what is happening around. anyway, I hope you all like it.
Smoking her mind out.
Light sketch of this piece, you can see here that it was not thought to be very detailed so I traied to keep it like that until the end.
Vertical hatching some details and to give her the expression I was looking for which was the face of someone deep in her thoughts.
Finished drawing of this woman, I did not add some many more details than in the previous step to keep it more like a quick drawing and not going toward the realism that I sometime look for in my drawings.
