Cigarette Smoker, Cigarette Smoke Drawing Tutorial

Step 1.


Begin by drawing the shape or guide for the hand and then draw the arm and guidelines for the butterfly.

Step 2.


We will now begin to draw in the thumb, wrist and some of the arm. Draw in the nail bed too.

Step 3.


Up next sketch out the index finger and then sketch in the crease lines on the finger, thumb and add the cuticle line.

Step 4.


Okay, moving on with the hand. Draw the middle finger and add the lining of the palm where it meets the base of the fingers.

Step 5.


Up next, draw the ring finger and also draw in the nail. All the nails are pointed like talons to represent death.

Step 6.


We will finish the hand by drawing the pinky finger and the nail. Sketch in the creases and wrinkles on the palm, then move to step seven.

Step 7.


You will draw in a half burnt cigarette and don't forget to draw in the ash tip.

Step 8.


We will start the drawing process for the butterfly. Draw the body first and then the head. You will then draw in the crinkled antenna. The antenna are lifeless as the life is being taken from the butterfly.

Step 9.


Draw the butterfly wings next, and then proceed to step ten.

Step 10.


Draw the bottom part of the butterfly wing and notice that the edge is ripped and torn. Damaged from the smoke. Erase the mistakes and you are all done.

Step 11.


Here is the line art now that you are done. Now you can color in the drawing.

Description: This is a real interesting concept drawing lesson that I conjured up as I thought of my grandmother and how she smokes cigarettes. I know there are millions and millions of people out there who smoke and believe me, a lot of my family members are addicted to the nasty habit that happens to kill thousands of people every year. There are so many health risks when you are a smoker and some of them will lead you to horrible deaths. The most common is Lung disease. There are many more things to list but I don't want to go too far into this subject. The whole purpose of my rant on smoking and the side effects to your health, is because of the lesson I made. It's the image of a lifeless hand with a half smoked cigarette between the fingers. The butterfly represents life and how quickly it is taken away from you when you smoke. The bright, vibrant, colorful butterfly because it goes to gray as the smoke begins to poison life. This lesson is going to show you how to draw the death of me. The death to anyone who smokes and will continue to smoke. It's your life and you can do what you want, but at least think of the people next to you before you light up a stogie again.
