It`s "Smoke" again

Yesterday I complained about not having enough time for
making an original Illo Friday contribution, but instead
I downed a load of tea and started going at it.
I thought about shamefully erasing the last post,
but since you people already commented on it,
I choose to make a new post. This picture
has some issues, since the paper went wavy and
so there are blurry spots in the scan. I simply need to
use thicker paper when working with water... oh, and
besides, I drew this with water-soluble ink and then
went over it with water - I think this makes my drawings
meatier. Just tell me what you think.

And I can`t stop telling you how much I appreciate your
comments. I will not get tired of saying this, it`s like saying
"I love you" over and over again, because you just
want to make it clear again and again.
It`s really surprising me how motivating this
whole messageboard - blogging -
art community via internet-thing is.
I guess we all should be thankful for this.
Well, I know I am!
