I considered coloring this one with Photoshop, but soon I decided that it would look much better simply pencil shaded. I have drawn more on the page, but you can get the idea of it from this portion. A number of things led to the creation of this drawing. The most important stimulus was that I see a very poetic quality in cigarettes. (That is to say, they are poetically fatal.) Also, a few particular artists inspired me to draw this one (and may influence some of my sketches in the future), but I do not care to mention them as inspiration because that might insult them. (If someone told you that your work was the inspiration for some amateur pile of mediocrity, you probably wouldn't be flattered.)
End Post.
