Was recently asked how I made steam or smoke Here is a quick way. So easy and awesome with the blur feature with pencil Start with a black or white background I like to use a bright white pencil and turn the blur feature off Just start sketching your smoke or steam and try to get the shapes as fluid as possible. There is no order to this. I then turn the blur feature on and use my finger to lightly smudge the lines and strokes. Like you would do if you were smudging paint or real pencil on a canvas. To get a dimensional effect just repeat the process over again to create depth. Also as a finishing touch use the pen tool to create darker lines and then smudge.

Also on black backgrounds you can add color later by using the water color brush over your white smoke. or just pick the color of your choice to do the same technique.
