This feels slightly less demented than most of my offerings, but I’m probably kidding myself. All the same, I feel more control of my medium and the effects it creates, and also my drawing. Hooray!

F-F-f-faces!
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, 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.

Arrr…. Ulllg….
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourThis guy is vaguely based on John Cusack from the movie “Say Anything,” but I was too lazy to draw a portrait. So he becomes “random guy,” because it’s too cold to go out on the balcony and draw people.

Hard and Soft Edges
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI dislike ink outlines, but am working on hard and soft edges in drawings. Leaving the middles alone in this case, or giving them a gentle wash.

Pen and Ink Cats, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenMr. Boggedy only WISHES he could catch rats! It’s a pain thinking up clever titles for these posts of sketches, so I’m just going for the search engines! Here’s my old pal, Howard Shore (with a random DVD lady): Bonus! A woman pointing!

Drawings of Thugs and Women
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenSorry, they’re not together. Some other time! The guy here is my trying to recapture impressions of this character I saw on the street, who could have been a thug ordered by Central Casting.

I think it refers to the instant when everything feels perfect; but it’s so fleeting it’s hard to grab onto and […]

Science Fiction Experiment
By Jack Ruttan in men, paintings, watercolour, womenGot carried away painting something in one of my books. The more complex you make it, it seems the more the flaws show up.
