[How would i create a smoke effect?]

Hey guys, im super new to paint.net, started using it last month, mainly to do pictures to go with my football manager game lol. 

Im trying to create like a smoke effect and im having a hard time coming up with one, as i said im not really experienced so i bet im missing something. I tried low hardness brush, i tried low hardness eraser and thats pretty much it lol. Can anyone help me or maybe point me to a tutorial or something? Thank you very much.
