How did you color the smoke in top row? I've seen people color clouds in a similar way but can never figure out how is done.

Let's see... I use GIMP. It has a Smudge Tool that simply smudges and mixes the colours. First I painted the whole smoke-area white and then added some grey in the edges. And then smudged the colors so they would look more natural together. Also, I used more transparent colors close to his mouth(that little bit of his hair for example) so the smoke would look transparent. UGH my english is so bad, and I'm no good with explaining. :/
Sorry. I hope it helped anyway.

What I know, no other program than GIMP has got the smudge tool... I have Photoshop Elements, and loves it, but I can barely use it since it doesn't have a smudge tool. I love smudging too much. XD
But GIMP is great when you're used to it!

It was the same for me too, that's for sure.
I can make some kind of shading tutorial, if you want? Just to show how I color.
Also, you can look at this other picture I colored [link] The original looks like this [link] So I would say it's quite the different without all the shades.

Okay, I'll maybe wrap something together tonight or tomorrow. I can make a tutorial out of the next picture I'm about to color (:
