The story of this sketch is told in my con report from the day I got it. I don't really have a lot to say about Steve, except that after I saw his Thor sketch in another notebook, I knew I had to try and get an Aquaman sketch from him. In addition to drawing simply fantastic superheroes, he also drew some wonderful caricatures that I saw, including one of a blond guy with a beard as the modern Aquaman with two harpoon hands instead of one. Someday, when I have money to burn (ha!) and create an all-commission Aquaman notebook, Steve Hartley will be one of the many artists I return to get another sketch from.
AQUAMAN

This was all in pencil, and done quickly. I like the fact that he didn't bother with the manica and galerus (shoulder harness), and I love the way he drew the hair drifting back, like a slight current is lifting it.
To see all the sketches I have permission to post so far, check out my Sketchbook Page. If you have any contact information for any of the other artists I'm trying to contact, please e-mail me. Click for a random Aquaman sketch.
