Smoking Woman and How I quit

I've been telling a story about illustration I've done for some real gangsters as a freelance illustrator recently. But that was not the only sin I've created for that sake.

Here is another thing they've asked me to draw after a while. I don't know where it has been used and how. Maybe as an advert in some dark forums? I hope they had not any chance to use it actually and maybe this post will make you smile. Anyway if you're mad on me let me know also, please.

This project was done in 2014 and never happen again. I haven't and will not draw for bad reasons from that time. But to realise that I had to do that so please excuse my ignorance.

References and Stuff

They've been asking me to draw a woman smoking unforbidden materials with forbidden effects, you know.

I had another type of references I've got from my client. Different sorts of weeds and stuff which is forbidden to upload and even mention in some countries like Russia now so I would avoid putting that here.

Sketching and Stuff

I've been smoking cigarettes for about 10 years 2 packs per day, had bad caugh and was trying to find myself in drugs for 6 years. In fact I was loosing myself there ofcourse. Luckily I've met yoga path of developing yourself to a wellbeing and easily quit both in less than a year or so.

Yet when I've recieved that order I felt it would be fun to draw this. Some sort of black humor and my bad background made this joke happened. So here was the first sketch I've done.

They gave me some abstract comments regarding if I am able to try again sketching somthing else. I don't mind. So I've tried it over again with different... shapes and here it comes. Haha!

They've told me they like slim women, plus they've asked me to put the leg out of her hand and gave it to the dog and I've made some corrections.

Even slimmer, please :) Okay, I don't mind. I like both. So here was the final. Crazy nonsence art piece which has been accepted and payed. Hope nobody hurts by this images.

Breath is the real and only stuff

Smoking is bad for your health. Smoking something else rather than tobacco is even worse for your physical body and mind. If you really want to calm down, relax, recreate yourself, gather good qualities, feel love for yourself and others and be happy it is worth ever to something like yoga. Because yoga uses the breath only which is always with you, it's free of charge and it can bring you lots of energy and uplift your spirit. There is a connection in between the state of our mind and current quality our breath pattern. One is affecting the other. Check how you breath when you are angry or upset being in depression. When you are breathing slowly and deep you feel at ease. So by just changing the breath pattern you may start changing state of your mind.
