How does JB draw the Thing?
I was wondering if JB had any tips on how to properly draw Ben Grimm. JB: The most important thing to keep in mind is that the Thing’s hide should not look like cobblestones (as it is often drawn, modeled and these days colored), The “plates” are flat or slightly concave, like mud on the bed of a dry river. They are also different sizes and depths, so that the surface is uneven. Think in terms of the larger plates being on the large parts of his body, like his torso, the smallest plates being around points of motility, like wrists and ankles.
