Hey guys!

Time to show you a new piece for my Art Portfolio, this time created with watercolours and a 0.2 fineliner, showing something a little more grotesque.

If you look around in different areas in Berlin, you can see women smoking although they're pregnant or mother of a young child, causing their unborn child or daughter/son to become passive smokers since their early childhood. Smoking as a drug can damage not only the person doing so, it can also cause dangerous damage to the people around the actual smoker, mothers in this case.
I wanted to show how disgusting this act can be, forcing the own kid to take part in it, having to deal with the consequences sooner or later. As a passive smoker myself (see my parents) this topic bothers me a lot and that's why I depicted it as absurd as you can see it here - the baby begging for milk while receiving the disgusting smoke coming from everywhere when it comes to the mother.

Working with watercolours the very first time, too and I like the result in general^^ It was pretty hard layering the colours correctly, but I think I managed to get correct skin colours and such XD I enjoy the crosshatching I added with the little black, so I'm content with this painting :D

I hope this piece can open some people's eyes or even cause them to overthink things a littler more thoroughful.
Although it's pretty different to my usual pieces, I hope you like it anyways.

Time: Around 3 Hours
