Black Panthers

9x12 300 series Bristol
Ebony pencil, Sumi ink, white paint

Don McGregor, Gene Colan, and Tom Palmer drew the first Black Panther story that I had ever seen(Marvel Comics Presents #22). And man was I blown away with all of the textures ALL OVER THE PAGES. His gloves, the trees, the ground. And this was definitely one of the first times that I associated names to art. And the story was certainly one of the first adult/serious that I can remember experiencing.

That is what I had rolling around in my head drawing this.
