Just means “pictures,” I think.

Watercolour Chops
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourA lot of technique involved in watercolour. Maybe it’s not something other artists deal with, but I find I have to work and relearn things if I want to do something well that isn’t just totally an accident. Sounds as if I’m down on it, because it never looks as polished to me as my […]

It’s The Little Book Again!
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, womenMore sketches from the little black hardcover book. I like that little book. The paper’s nice (can take a wash), and it’s small and scans reasonably well, if I don’t draw too close to the binding. Never got into Molesquines, and that sort of thing. (Not even sure how to pronounce that!) But I do […]

Skaters and Athletic types
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenWatching some Olympics, so drawing these types. Noting that I’m drawing skaters, but leaving out skates. This is kind of an R. Crumb-like girl below. Sorry. That was supposed to be a cute gopher in the background, but I smeared its eyes before they dried, and now he becomes a zombie gopher. I’m including this […]

And More from Yesterday…
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenI was drawing in that little book. Hence, things take less time to do. I’ll have to think about the implications of that. Not sure what the black squiggle means. I had intended it as a design element, to balance things. This morning it looks ominous.

Faces
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesStruggling with drawing likenesses. But of course, what you do if you’re struggling with something is apply yourself to it. After a lot of failure, success, maybe. I’m not great at faces, not in life, not in drawing. Still trying. Watching my DVD of The Great Lebowski again. I don’t have a lot of DVDs! […]

…And Another…
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenEveryone’s been looking to the left, this time. Sometimes that seems easier. I’d also like to draw some things that have more of a story behind them, so they’re just not some anonymous face looking … to the left, for instance.

Miniatures
By Jack Ruttan in horses, sketches, watercolourI like these little paintings. Though I have to take my glasses off to do them. The biggest is four inches high. These others, more like three and two. No, he’s not Pedobear:

Introducing the Punk
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesThe Skinny Nameless Punk is a great cartoon character I created with collaborator Rick Gagnon, and now he has his own site. http://mruttan.ca/punk The strips were printed in Mensuhell, the Quebec monthly fanzine that shut down last year. One of the few features in that mag that ran in English, by the way. A few […]
