Candle Smoke 1

I decided to try an exercise I read in Dean Nimmer's Art from Intuition which involved drawing with candle smoke. This was my second attempt. It took the first go to realise how close I could hold the candle to the paper without the paper catching fire (for which I had water at the ready). It also took me a while to realise that I needed to move the candle around quite quickly to get it to smoke more. Anyway, I finished this and felt it had a sense of movement so decided to continue on with it.
