Worst Case Scenario
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolourDiscussing hats, and drawing them, on twitter. Dylan Meconis offered a tutorial on her blog on how to draw tricorn hats. I don’t have big problems with those. But I do with fedoras and cowboy hats. So another artist, Brian Moore, offered me this: Worst-case scenario: ZAPHOD BEEBLEBROX, THE SINGING COWBOY GANGSTER. So, of course […]

Random Page of Stuff
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, womenI’ve used that title before. This is just a page of drawings. Some of them, mainly that dancing girl, relate to work things. Yay for roller pens!

Men
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesThis is a pencil drawing in my big book. I was too lazy scan it, and stitch it together, so I snapped it instead. Now I feel to lazy to write anything about it. It’s kind of self-explanatory. All my drawings of women at the moment are going to my burlesque project. But I felt […]

Pencils
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, womenBought these pencils at a new art store I saw, that had opened up on Laurier Street near Papineau. There used to be a framing shop which had a smattering of art supplies. Now, I guess they thought they’d move out and expand the art supplies. This is welcome, because there’s a dearth of independent […]

Morning People
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenI’ve been an early bird in my older middle age. So, I’m up with the sun sitting with a coffee, drawing stuff in the morning. During summer, I can be on my balcony, spying on people. That’s where most of these come from. Actually, I drew them in pencil yesterday. Today I added the finishing […]

Lafontaine Park
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenWhile walking through the park, had to force myself to sit down and paint this. Obviously I could have scooched over so the lamp-post wasn’t in front of the fountain. But hey, I was sitting there. The girl in front, playing with her puppy was super-charming.

Random Scribbles and Splashes
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenStill just drawing random things. Wish I were in a better mood. I added a halo to that wrestler you’ve already seen, and painted a ballet dancer. She’s actually outlined with a dip pen, which is all right. Also drawn with a dip pen is the cowboy below. Should be working on something other than […]

Tiny Pic-tures
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenNothing too ambitious here. Just “tiny pic-tures,” as my sister used to disparagingly call them. I don’t have that much in mind while drawing them. More a form of relaxation.

Faces, added while on the balcony
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenSitting here with my cat on a Montreal afternoon in August, putting up some pictures. I’m doing more writing on my Tumblr blog. This one is for sketches, I think. We’ll see how it all shakes out.
