Hey, here's a tutorial I made for a smoke effect in photoshop. I know it isn't pretty.
As an effect in a larger painting where it is only meant to give an impression, I would personally
have made it simpler and messier.
when I think back to my first attempts at painting smoke ... it was pretty bad, so I hope maybe this
helps someone, somewhere.
EDIT - fyi, I made this up as I was doing it. I never actually painted smoke this detailed before this tutorial. In retrospect it's a bit too blue, but still proud of it.
