Was practicing making little crescent moons with the “pathfinder” tool in photoshop, which is a pain, sometimes. It finally worked, so I drew this to go with it.

What? A title?
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, color, digitalThis is a rough for a project I was a little worried about, but which turned out all right. Will share that later, when it comes out. Fond of showing you a bit of process. It’s my incredibly detailed rough. All I had to do after was to build a full-size set, hire models, and […]

Further ramblings
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, color, digital, dinosaursI’ve been drawing much more than I’ve been putting up. Still entranced with digital, but I’m beginning not to care what’s what. I’ve got stacks of sketchbooks, but can organise the computer things, as well. This one is unfinished, but I put it here to give you a look into my process.

Still More Computer Paintings
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, sketchesI can hardly call them “sketches” since they don’t fit in a book. I don’t think much about what I’m doing ahead of time. Hence all the grouchy faces. Still, I enjoy the medium. The one big deal is that computer drawings are hardly ever finished. You do something on paper, it’s done. If something’s […]

Something with a background
By Jack Ruttan in color, digitalNot sleeping. Trying to draw backgrounds at the moment, with this little computer. Wonder what it looks like on a larger screen! Really want to keep it loose, see what happens.

Another Fairly Demented Computer Painting
By Jack Ruttan in color, digitalI don’t know. These are fun. I still think I’ve got the digital painting thing, but there is always something new to learn. Afraid I’ve been neglecting my watercolour, however.

Uncommon People
By Jack Ruttan in color, watercolorThis is an ogre and his best friend, whom I painted last night, while listening to a digital painting tutorial which basically told me how hard it is to get a job digital painting.

Digital Dallyance
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, men, paintings, sketches, womenI’m happier now with how the digital painting has been going. As I’ve been writing there are a lot of controls and switches to master, plus the stylus has a different feeling than a pencil, and is less precise (at least in my hands). But practice is helping, plus the memory of colour mixing for […]

Random Painting
By Jack Ruttan in color, machines, men, paintings, watercolour, womenLooking through a closet, I found a block of watercolour paper with a few sheets on it. Painted this, while watching a documentary on the late Gerry Anderson — whose shows and spaceships were all over my childhood. The paper was very strange and spongey — hard to get detail onto it. Also, one’s paintings, […]

Digital Painting is Tough
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, heads, paintings, sketches, womenI don’t know if it’s wise to put one’s trials up, but this is a blog about process, and I try to put up most of what I draw. Actually, I know I’ve been rather sporadic lately, and will try to remedy that. Still, digital painting in Photoshop is a fascinating process, even though the […]

Digital Doodling
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, paintings, sketchesI’ve been doing a lot of work with my digital art, in Photoshop, with a stylus. Not as much control over the lines and strokes yet, as with more traditional media. But it’s coming along. Still, I’m shy of putting them up, because not many of them are “ready for Prime time,” at least in […]
