Various Men, and a Dragon
By Jack Ruttan in digital, heads, men, paintings, sketchesOne of my big problems with digital was that the line was sort of more wiggly, and things would get away from me. I’m feeling more in control of it now, however, and it’s almost like drawing on paper for me, now. More work, however. Not as relaxing staring into the screen, and thinking about […]
Creepy Politicians

Comics People

Edmund Bertram
By Jack Ruttan in digital, menI stole the pattern for the background from my Dover Book of Ornament. Which was fun to do.
Gamer
By Jack Ruttan in Gouache, men, paintings, sketches, watercolourRed paint and pencil, for some reason. I’ve been watching too many videogame review videos. Trying to figure out what kids like these days.

This is sort of a test, in that I’m trying to post something via photos I took with the iPad. Sadly, there are a few things I haven’t figured out, but this is good enough for the time being.
Grumpy Writer
By Jack Ruttan in digital, men, pencil, Portraits, sketchesAnd a lazy digital treatment. I’m learning more tricks, but am finding I get my best results when starting with a pencil drawing and scanning it in. I can draw with the stylus, but it takes a lot more time. The thing really doesn’t like obeying what your hand wants it to do. Maybe if […]
Neil Smith Doodle
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, brush pen, heads, men, sketchesFor someone who draws as many faces as I do, I find it hard to hit a likeness. But I’m happy with this little face of author Neil Smith I doodled in the margin of the Esplanade Editions book catalog. That glossy paper is very comfortable to draw on with the pentel brush pen. Hope […]
Various Sketchbook Pages
By Jack Ruttan in color, heads, horses, men, pencil, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenVarious items from the sketchbook. I’m trying to work out of my comfort zone. The last two are more like what I usually enjoy doing. I love horses. Worked at a horse farm for one summer. Trying here for more “frosty colours, rather than the warm tones I often use. I’ve got better ideas about […]
New Animation Studio
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, heads, men, montreal, pencil, Portraits, self-promotion, sketchesThrilled by the news that a new animation studio is opening up in Montreal (a side-effect, I think, of the low dollar making it more tempting for foreign operations to invest here. Not to mention the high number of talented artistic types in this city). In honour of that fact, I’ve done this amazing, highly-detailed […]
People and Backgrounds
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, men, paintingsI’m pretty thrilled over the control I have of the stylus. Working on backgrounds and lighting now, as well as the people.
Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, color, Coloured Pencils, men, pen and ink, sketches, watercolour, womenSome new sketches. I’m always drawing, but not been putting everything up, even though I used to do that.
