I was wondering what my second post this week should be about, and I was scrolling through pictures of Max Irons when something just popped into my brain; what if I do the 'Manipulating Smoke' tutorial from e-learning week on a picture of Max Irons holding a cigarette?! And so that was how this picture came about.

I probably could've done better if I'd only spent more time on it, but this is the end product of my work. EGD is most definitely something that requires lots and lots of patience! The long process is actually one of the things that makes this tutorial extremely tedious. I had spent two hours, and the picture above is the result. The most difficult thing I found is to know exactly how I want the smoke to turn out. If I know how I want it to be exactly, I'm positive I'd have been able to manipulate it more properly and make it look nicer!

Maybe one day I'll redo this tutorial and it'll look even more realistic - who knows?
