I’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!

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 […]

New Art, and Tumblr
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenI’ve discovered tumblr, which at the moment is where I’m putting a lot of ranting and rambling I’d like to get out of my system. This is good, because it makes me feel more productive in general. No reason I can’t do that here, however. But we’ll see how it goes. I like keeping things […]

Finicky Darn Watercolours
By Jack Ruttan in cats, menGosh, watercolours are so tough! All those many things to control. And things can go wrong so easily. You need skill, and also, I’m finding out, strong confidence to carry it off. Good abilities to practice. I’m obviously not the super-smooth kind of artist like Jim Woodring or Vargas, but it’s fun to work on […]

Typing Paper
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenDon’t think I’ve completely mastered the scanner. Have to look at all the options. In the meantime, here’re a bunch of things I’ve been drawing on scrap paper, while drawing stuff for another job I can’t show you at the moment. Mainly front balcony things.

Enter Title Here
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenI could go on about things, but I think I’m just going to put these up, and leave it at that. Of course, I’ll probably end up making little comments here and there. Above is a gang of sketchbook people, and a happy “War of the Worlds” tripod. I love the old 1910’s version of […]

Some More Sketchbook Pages
By Jack Ruttan in cats, horses, men, sketches, watercolour, women‘Cause of my getting a new scanner, I’ve scanned all these pages, which, up until now, were hidden in my sketchbook. Now they’re here, for all of you to enjoy! A couple of the characters here are taken from Barbara Bradley’s book Drawing People: How to portray the clothed figure. Will have to talk about […]

New Scanner
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenThe new scanner is faster, and captures more detail in my wonky watercolour pics. I still haven’t worked out all the kinks, because there are more options to deal with.

New Things
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenPainted a ton of little pictures I’m pretty happy with. Above, is Mr. Boggedy on the balcony. Serious Guy. That’s also the view from my Balcony, but he’s just imaginary. More funny little pictures. The edges are masked with painter’s tape. The green type with slightly less tack, which can be “left on for 60 […]

Animules, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, sketches, watercolour, womenI just like the colour. Lotsa work to do, and I’ve been slacking off. The usual worries, but I hope things will be all right.

Painting up a Storm
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenLotsa little watercolours lately. These are fun to do, and look more sophisticated than my usual production. It’s true that the more you do, the better you get at it. If I stop, it often takes a few lousy pictures before I get up to speed again. A big part of it seems to be […]

Another day, more sketches. (AKA: What do I title this?)
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketches, womenDrawing a lot lately, because I’ve got some illustrating gigs. These don’t exactly address the gigs, but they keep my hand in, and make drawing fun for me. Hence plenty of sketches. And I’ve got to put them up don’t I? Allegra, my late lamented small black cat, in graphic watercolour form. This is about […]

Brand New Book
By Jack Ruttan in cats, watercolour, womenBought a nice new sketch book, at l’Oiseau Bleu, one of the few remaining non-chain art stores in Montreal. I’m going to have to draw some of the architecture in the area around there, because there are interesting Beaux arts and Art Deco, even Art Nouveau buildings and details around there. It’s not a rich […]
