Description
The Thing (Ben Grimm) and the Fantastic Four are © and ™ 1961 - 2008 Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.All Intellectual Property Rights Reserved.
I had such a 'hypnotic' time sketching out The Hulk that I wanted to do it again. I thought about all the heroes I've never drawn, and quite simply, Ben Grimm is a character I've never, EVER drawn before.
Until now.
Was playing around with Photoshop after I scanned the pencils in and couldn't decide which to post, so I posted the original pencils and the edited one side by side.
Drawn on A4 inkjet paper with an HB Faber Castell pencil.

He's a challenge. That's why I never drew him before, and that's why I had to draw him this time.

Cool, love the detail and the shading, love the rock paterns on his "skin" and it was a nice idea to show the drawing next to the colored version!
Ben's one of my favorite Marvel characters....
I'm a DC though.

Once again that rougher style really helps depict the character, as the scratchier texture really fits with the Thing's whole attitude. I also like the lighter, almost watercolour-like colour version.

Not to drop the obvious, but these are fantastic. ^_^;
Great work! Now that I know you can do two of my favorite characters from Marvel, when next you're up for commissions, I'll know what to ask for.
Thanks for sharing!

Interesting way of coloring, looks just like you've used markers on it, along with some crayons for the background. (I assume you've only colored it digitally, given your comment about Photoshop)
either way, it's one helluva sketch, and I'm hoping we'll get to see more sketches of famous characters you haven't drawn before.
