Sketchbook - Paul Guinan

I loved Chronos, and was very disappointed when it went away. I didn't, however, make the connection between the artist doing an Aquaman sketch for me at the Emerald City Comicon until I had left the table... then the name and the work clicked into my head. I really should have gone back and thanked him, but I was a bit zoned. Anyway, this is what I consider a great sketch by a great artist. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.


AQUAMAN

As a reminder: Almost every sketch in my sketchbook was non-commissioned and done on the floor of a con. These are not the best works of the artists. These are only representative of what the artist can do under pressure in a loud, crowded, and often stressed-out environment. Most of them were done as quickly as possible, to prevent huge lines from forming. Don't judge any of these artists negatively by the artwork you see, instead be as impressed as I am by what they accomplished in far-from-ideal conditions.

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.
