It’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.

Neon Gel Pens
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, color, paintings, pencil, sketches, watercolor, watercolourOver the past couple of summers, a depanneur (convenience store, for you non-Montrealers) had a jar of gel pens for sale. When I was buying beer or cat food, if I was feeling flush, I’d pick one up. They are fun to play with, and I had a set of kid’s fluorescent paints to […]

Blatant Sketchbookery
By Jack Ruttan in cats, color, Coloured Pencils, Gouache, Jack's House of Cats, paintings, sketches, watercolor, watercolourFor some reason I’m back into the blog. I don’t think anyone goes here, and the “Blogoshphere” has become a little like one of those abandoned theme parks adventurers like to seek out. Anyhow, I’m baaaaaakk. Not posting as much as I used to, just cool stuff out of the sketchbooks, which are taking too […]

The Wind in the Willows
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, Book Reviews, colorI’m finishing off The Wind in the Willows. Very curious book. I remember it being read to me in class when I was tiny, and at that age I didn’t always get all of what was being read or shown to me. Such as when I was watching the movie Mary Poppins, which I loved. […]

Scattered Brush
By Jack Ruttan in color, digitalDigital painting still isn’t coming easy to me, but I’m happy with the look I can get when I applied “scatter” to my usual drawing brush. I don’t even have to delete the underlying lines. Just paint over them. And this has got a pleasing chalk-like effect to me. So different from my usual watercolour. […]

Digital Bizness
By Jack Ruttan in color, digitalThe one on the left is actually a lady. But I think I gave her too much jaw. May fix that, because it is digital, after all.

A Comic. By Me.
By Jack Ruttan in color, comics, digital, watercolorLife has been tough, lately, and I’ve not been doing some things I should have been doing. I don’t know if comics is one of them, but lots of illustrators are doing them. And if I call myself a writer/slash illustrator, then that’s a natural. But it’s not very renumerative. I started drawing digitally, got […]

Digital and Traditional Sketchbook Pages
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, sketchesI messed with both digital and traditional (as it’s called) sketchbook pages today. The traditional pages, compiled into books, are more organised. The digital ones are everywhere, squirreled into cryptic files, over two computers. There’s a tiny bit of digital here, anyhow!

Pages from One of My Sketchbooks.
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, cats, color, Coloured Pencils, Gouache, sketches, watercolourThere’s a lot that I draw that I don’t put up. Trying to remedy that a bit. It’s not all brilliance, but here it is. Pencil, coloured pencil, Gouache. I think that’s covered it, technique-wise.

Short Pencil
By Jack Ruttan in Art Criticism, color, Gouache, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolourI don’t actually prefer a short pencil, I just get a little hysterical when the lead breaks off inside the pencil when I’m trying to sharpen it. I hate that.
