You'll want to use particles for this. The general trick is to paint a couple cotton-ballish blobs and emit a bunch of them semi-transparently. Trapcode Particular is especially good for this.
I am wondering does anybody knows some good tutorial or technique to create good looking 2d animated smoke coming out of chimneys etc. I am working with some simple animation and thought to just animate still graphic of smoke but it is not satysfying :/
