I usually draw with minimal strokes when I use reference, this one was one of my party photo's on my wall,
but without reference, I tend to give the image multiple lines to strengthen the shape when there is no
existing shape to confirm my pose/expression.
This should be given a 6, if that at all. it's not good work, but fast messy work.
I appreciate your perceptions of my posts, it's a welcome feeling having someone show genuine interest in my work.
I actually just checked out the other drawings to see what you guys mean,
and even some of the unreferenced work looks minimal...wow, I must be improving!
Nice sketch, but a bit unfinished maybe?
Personally, I think the car is a distraction.
Or is this a commentary about inhaling exhaust? :)
I'd like to see it fade to black where the car is and have the drawing focus on you and your smoke.
Thanks for all the comments guys! I feel really flattered! =D
RIPPLE: True, now that I look at it, I see the car is the distraction, at first I wanted it to be a car doing a burnout, and now, well, i'll fix it and re-post soon.
As always, thank you for your insightful comments and critique, and the fact that you actually try and understand the image, BRAVO! =)

20 minutes of drawing and rudimentary shading.
I was studying some storyboard design techniques and I just tried this for the fun of it, hope it appeals to someone! =D
