These are simple, but done with different techniques and programs. Up above is purely digital, drawn and painted in Photoshop. The guy below was drawn in Adobe Illustrator according to a pencil sketch, then coloured in Photoshop. I’m happy with the ink lines I’m able to create, and they’re fast to do, too. This strange [...]

Passel of Drawings
By Jack in ballpoint pen, men, Pen & Ink, sketches, womenI sketch a lot more than I put up here. Thought it was time for some of those. Mainly out of my head, while watching DVDs, or live, in some cases. Those always make the best poses.

Colour Couple
By Jack in colour, digital, men, womenMore cartoon colouring. I’ve noted that few people are visiting the blog on Sunday, so I can post today in relative obscurity.

Digital and Ballpoint Pen Critters (and folk)
By Jack in Animals, ballpoint pen, black and white, cats, horses, paintings, sketches, womenStill playing with the digital painting. I think I get so carried away with the technical challenge I sometimes forget to make an interesting picture. Hence this horse, not doing much of anything. George Stubbs I am not! Actually, without the “ink” lines, this looks a lot like one of those paint by numbers kits. [...]

Woman in a Bikini
By Jack in colour, digital, Pen & Ink, sketches, womenYes, she’s in a bikini, but she’s got a personality, so I don’t think she’s just being an object. This is another drawing, in real ink this time, which I coloured with the computer.

More Digital Painting
By Jack in colour, digital, womenI’m pretty happy with this beauty, and am slowly figuring out brushes in photoshop. Hard to set the ones I like. This took a lot of time, but then again so did the acrylic pictures I used to paint on matte board when I was in High school. Still have one of those.

Blue Period
By Jack in men, paintings, watercolour, womenHappy New Year’s, all three of you visiting this blog! It’s business as usual at Utopia Moment. I’m still playing with my Wacom Intuos, but I also enjoy the old school tools. These are a pile of faces, in gloomy watercolours. I’m very happy that my local art store has returned to stocking this paper [...]

New Toy
By Jack in digital, men, womenSorry for the absence, but I’ve been playing with a new toy. A Wacom Intuous 4 stylus. Still working with it. I’ve used a Bamboo Pen stylus for a while, but though i liked it, the lines were jiggly and I couldn’t really draw with it the way I could with pencils, pens and brushes. [...]

F-F-f-faces!
By Jack in Animals, cats, men, Nora the cat, sketches, watercolour, womenStill painting random faces, from DVDs, and my squirming imagination. Kind of enjoying it at the moment. Some bonus kitty-cats as well.

Female Faces…
By Jack in black and white, pencil, sketches, womenCharlize Theron, from the cover of a movie mag. I’ve been neglecting my blogging. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been drawing. Working on female faces here, trying to catch what’s special in a face that makes it a particular person. Easier to draw a generic face. But when you can’t get out to sketch real [...]

Colour Cats and Such
By Jack in Animals, cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenI’m doing comic colouring in Photoshop. Shouldn’t be so difficult, but I’m thinking of it a lot. Then a little watercolour.

Women’s heads and profiles
By Jack in ballpoint pen, black and white, pencil, sketches, womenDrawing things from DVDs. Freezing it this time, rather than just going on impressions as the movie plays. A lot of work filling things in with pencil! This and the below are based on Sharon Stone from the beginning of Total Recall. And some random, imaginary profiles with my fine-line roller pen: Good night, all!

Out of My Head….
By Jack in Animals, ballpoint pen, black and white, Brush Pen, horses, men, sketches, womenThat’s where these drawings are from. When winter sets in it’s less practicable to draw things out on the street. So I sit around looking at books, watching DVDs, also drawing anything that tickles my fancy. Hate drawing directly from photographs, but those give you different ideas, and also keeps one closer to reality. So [...]
