If you have Particular, I believe the preset pack: David Vinson Particles Vol 1 comes with it. It has a nice cartoon smoke preset.

You can see it in this video at the :57 mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szkl0yzR_6k&list=PLF820A1A7BEB8E1C4

thanks Brian

I sometimes get the bad habit of too fixed on keyframing something instead of just drawing it....

always wanting to automate... ever get that?

I will try good old radio waves.

 

thanks Angie I will definitely try that illustrator tip.  

and you can call me Rosie if you like that's fine :)
