1.1 Step 1: Use a white gel pen to dot the area randomly

Begin the smoke drawing by applying soft, scattered dots with a white gel pen. Focus on areas where the smoke should appear denser, like near chimneys or magical elements. This is the foundation of a smoke drawing simple enough for all skill levels.

1.2 Step 2: Soften the effect by blending gently

Use a fingertip or cotton swab to lightly blend the dots outward. This creates the illusion of soft, dissipating smoke. For a more realistic smoke drawing, blending is key, it transforms static dots into flowing texture.

1.3 Step 3: Add a second layer to build depth

Repeat the dotting and blending process to form a second layer. Stagger the dot placements to give the smoke dimension. This layering makes the effect feel more natural and enhances the visual depth of the smoke drawing.

1.4 Step 4: Expand the smoke trail with scattered dots

Extend the smoke trail by randomly dotting the surrounding area. This adds motion and lightness to the effect. Whether aiming for a simple smoke drawing or something more magical, this step brings the scene to life.
