Well....this is for contest.....due to he said happy smoking, for his smoking contest, I felt I had to attempt a fun one...in which I hope is most comical!! I originally wanted to draw Tommy Chong smoking the huge "Labrador" joint!!
but the resolution sucked, so hopefully this one will suffice!! Critiques and comments welcome!!

people who look like this man are hard to stop staring at for no particular reason. that carries through. plus, what you have accomplished in this picture is something for me so hard to do, which is cohesiveness in a detailed poignant expression. kinda pretty damn genious of you

Great piece - expressive, wonderfully textured (that really looks like smoke!) and the face is marvelous. The proportions are solid, the texture, especially of the skin, really, really works, and the musculature of the face follows his action. Gorgeous piece... you're getting better and better in the medium and the colour scheme is staying strong, but getting just a tiny bit subtle... This is a standout. Thanks for sharing.
