How To Draw Thing

Okay, the first things to do is just draw his skeletal framework. I feel like this is very important since it's so easy to lose this character's anatomical form because of his bulkiness. I'm mean I'll be honest:I don't think I even drew him big enoug

Description: It's clobberin' time! This is my first tutorial submitted, and I'm proud to have it be a tutorial on how to draw my favorite Fantastic Four character: The Thing! He is a man who gets transformed into this big rock guy, and is in search for a way to change back into his normal state and regain his normal life, including his family. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of The Fantastic Four, I do adore the story for this character. Here I have a how to tutorial of drawing The Thing in a front view as if he were about to go into battle. Hope you enjoy!
