Metro Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, pen and ink, sketchesVarious Pages
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, machines, paintings, pencil, sketches, watercolor, watercolourIt’s hard thinking of witty titles for these things. I’m putting up more pages. Not the stuff I did the other night when I couldn’t sleep. That was weird and also messy.
Knausgaarding
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, Book Reviews, pencil, Portraits, sketchesFinishing up the fifth volume so far of Mr. Karl Ove Knausgaard’s series “My Struggle.” My mind is a little blown, but his story stimulates me not to give up on my own journey.

Star Wars-ian Portraits
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, Gouache, heads, pen and ink, pencil, Portraits, sketches, womenOf characters whose names all begin with “L,” apparently.
Black Watercolour Pencils
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, Coloured Pencils, sketches, womenSeems like a lot of variety in “black” in coloured pencils. The face on the left was drawn with an “Ivory Black,” which is quite different from the black of another, cheaper brand. I’m quite miffed, though, that the more expensive pencil just split in half while I was sharpening it. Maybe some crazy glue […]
Eden Robinson

Pen & Ink
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, pen and ink, sketches, womenI got out my old Hunt #102 dip pen and drew a lot of little lines on this lady. Should have used a reference (she’s kind of scary). But at least I can cross-hatch!
