I guess using the flash on the little camera makes these things look too light.

Blondes
By Jack Ruttan in color, digitalI’m probably being very boring banging on about digital painting. The drawing just isn’t quite there when I draw things right on the computer rather than scanning-in drawings done in pencil and then coloured here. But I’ve been working hard on these sorts of things, so I may as well share them. Any opinions or […]

Hoodie Guy
By Jack Ruttan in digital, paintings, sketchesThis is actually all digital, drawn with this set of brushes here. I’ve been doing a lot of digital drawing, but have been nervous about putting it up.

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 […]

In the sketchbook.
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, color, paintings, pencil, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenMy sketchbook is a bit like my written journal. I sit down with it, with no idea of what I’m about to write (or draw). Kind of therapy, I suppose, or like practicing scales if you were playing the piano. The bottom corner is a gentleman I saw walking by on the street. Above was […]
