I am completely enamored with your drawings. They have a very distinct style to them, from the placement of the figures to the unique textures they seem to possess. I look forward to any new pieces you may add to your deviantart gallery.

Lol, yeah be careful with those cigarettes. The trick is to make sure you don't get any actual unburnt residue applied to the paper or fungus will grow out of your drawing. Some people might like it but I personally could do without. I'm glad you liked though, gracias por el cumplido

Really excellent work. I was going to try and quit smoking again but now I have a new excuse not to.

Oh God, another pair of ruined lungs on my conscience. lol. I actually get the ashes from generous friends who, at least collectively, smoke way more packets of cigarettes in a single day than I could manage to light up in a week if I still smoked. I'm glad you liked it though, thanks for leaving a nice comment.

Hey thseva, how you been? I'm glad you liked this batch. The cigarette ash was a smelly method of working my teacher passed on to me that I just can't do without anymore, although it has its drawbacks (like fungus growing all over you artwork if you're not careful). Thanks for stopping by

Yeah, my fingers used to stink so badly after making these drawings. It's a good thing no one can get a whiff when they're finally behind glass or I don't think I'd have sold a single one of them

maybe you should have used pipe-tobacco then. I like the smell of it.
