Another early sketch from my second con, this one was pretty fun to get as Williams is a nice guy. He claimed at the time that he had never draw the modern Aquaman before, so that's who he wanted to try. I think it turned out really good, personally. At the time, Williams was best known for his incredible work on Promethea, but he also co-created the late and much lamented book Chase. My thanks go out to Mick Gray for his help in getting permission to post this sketch.
AQUAMAN
by J.H. Williams III
14 November 1999
(permission to post given 30 May 2004 via e-mail - thank you Mick Gray)
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.
