Aquamane

I wrote about this before and I will always remember it. As a young artist and comic book aficionado, I was obsessed with the art of Mike Grell, aspiring to draw like him back when I was around 7 years old or so. I recall one panel in an Adventure comics back story featuring Aquaman, and I loved how he drew his face and how his hair looked like it was flowing in the seawater. So imagine my surprise when I found the panel decades later, and it was... kinda meh.

But I thought I'd try and redraw it more to my liking, and this is the initial draft. Which is also kinda meh right now.
