This is a little bit more than a warm up sketch. I actually started playing with it over the weekend.. and did a little bit each day until I finished it this morning. I might have finished it earlier if I wasn’t so busy with the SPIDER-MAN/FF miniseries pencils these days. I’ve been doing so many sketches lately that are just single character shot type drawings that I decided I wanted to do something that was more of a storytelling piece. I still have aspirations to publish a hardcover art/sketchbook one day. I have been collecting pieces for it— and I started to feel that I had too many of those single character sketches and not enough pieces or sketches that would tell a story– something that would give someone something to look at and think about. Hopefully I achieved that with this sketch

Yesterday MARVEL released the solicitation copy and images for book shipping in April… and so I thought I’d post the finished cover to the first issue of the SPIDER-MAN/FANTASTIC FOUR miniseries that my old studio-mate Jeff Parker and I are working on. Inks by my old (lots of ‘old’) artistic partner-in-crime Karl Kesel. Colors by….. not sure who. But I like the way it came out.

I also want to remind everyone that I now have a DEVIANTART gallery, so if you feel like going through and seeing some of the sketches from past blog posts you might have missed, now you can do so. There’s almost 130 pieces there now.

OK.. that’s it for today.

This is Entry 327.
