Spider Series: Black Suit Spider-Man - Tom Reilly

Tom has been doing a really great series of “warm up” sketches of various Spider-Man costumes & characters that he has been posting to his social media accounts. The series has truly been amazing, no pun intended. Tom just seems to nail these energetic poses and each one has such different energy yet all scream Spider-Man. I hope someone at Marvel is paying attention, this dude needs to be on a Spider-Man book!

I love how this piece feels like comic art creation in motion that goes from pencil sketch to make out a form and then though various stages of inking. It just feels like one character swinging it’s way into existence. Truly a “warm-up” piece that feels like a wonderful representation of process of creating the very thing we all love, comic art!
