If you can see this it is my original pencil comp after doing my thumbnails to decide on a concept. I choose to do the cigarette butt because I live in Iowa and everyone from where I live crosses the border to get their tobacco in Missouri because the taxes are so much cheaper.
This is the colored comp that we had to do. I had put more smoke in this than I did my final illustration. I decided that once I had it drawn out that it was too much having smoke on both sides of the cigarette, and I'm guessing that if you put it out it would only be on one side ( I don't this for sure since I don't smoke).
This one is my final illustration. I did gouache on a black illustration board and also used some airbrush. This was the first time that I painted on black illustration board and I have to say that I LOVE IT! The colors are so much more intense and brighter, you don't need as many layers, and don't have to worry about gesso. I liked this project because it was small and didn't take as long to paint, and also because I got to use airbrush. So after I had painted the cigarette and ashes I went in with some white gouache and made the smoke. I had practiced the smoke before doing it on the board, and I think it turned out looking like smoke. I did actually mess up one it and put the end away from the cigarette and when I got to looking at it I thought that it should be closer to the butt.
