Sketchbook - Duncan Rouleau

I confess I don't know much about Duncan Rouleau. This sketch was from early in my sketch-getting days, when I saw an artist and just asked if they knew how to draw Aquaman. Sometimes I got odd looks, but just as often I got great sketches. I'm afraid this scan doesn't really do this sketch justice. It's a lot better than it looks. I had to darken the picture to get some of the detail, and that makes it look less fantastic. If I ever get a better scanner, I'll rescan this one for sure.

This is from my early days of sketch getting, only the second convention I collected sketches in my first sketchbook. Phil Foglio started out that wonderful day, and Art Adams was the final sketch, but right before I visited Art Adams, and right after Matt Clark took a long time to do a sketch using negative space that still blows me away, Duncan Rouleau put in an effort that was so different and cool that I still find myself stopping to just gaze at the image whenever I flip through the sketchbook. Yes, Rouleau has a different style. And that is a great thing, in my book.
