Some new sketches. I’m always drawing, but not been putting everything up, even though I used to do that.

Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, color, Coloured Pencils, men, pen and ink, sketches, watercolour, womenPilgrims and Spies
By Jack Ruttan in cats, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, men, paintings, pencil, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolourMorning sketches, to clear my head, and chase away the nightly terrors. I’m on my front balcony, the sun just peeping over the buildings and trees. These are just things I’ve done yesterday and today. The usual things I’ve seen, either real or on TV, and faces, of course. Out of my head, and from […]
Dollarama Book
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, men, paintings, pencil, sketches, watercolor, watercolourMany watercolour types have to spend a lot on sketchbooks, with the proper paper and all. I found these black spiral-bound books at Dollarama, and they’re pretty good for watercolour. I worry about the paper, since it probably isn’t acid-free. Also, it tends to break free from the perforations along the side rather easily. But […]
Landscapes
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, paintings, sketches, watercolourI drew 4 tiny landscapes with watercolour pencils, basically as quickly as I could, without thinking about them. This I call the “I can do nothing wrong” style of painting, because I tell myself that as I do it.
Sketchbook Pages
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, sketchesHere are a bunch of images from my sketchbook recently. In gouache, coloured (and not) pencil.
Further sketches from the last while
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, sketches, watercolor, watercolourA page of pencil sketches. Something Harry Potter-y, and more people, drawn with watercolour pencils both activated and not.
Still Scrawling
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, horses, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenI still draw a lot in my little books, but I haven’t been updating the blog every day like I used to. Maybe I’m just getting soft in my old age, or more choosy of what I put up. Here, I’m not being choosy, but this is a little of what I’ve been doing as […]
Feathered T Rex sketches
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, dinosaurs, sketchesI love dinosaurs. Always have. Still, I’m trying to keep up with current thought on what they looked like, and not just redraw old images that probably didn’t exist. I like the idea that even the carnivorous ones were probably not monsters, but animals out in the wild. Also, during my summer I worked at […]
The 2014 Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec Garlic Festival is Coming
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, color, Coloured Pencils, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenThis is my T-shirt design for the 2014 Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue Quebec Garlic Festival. That event will happen next week, August 23, 2014. Finally saw the design in print last night at the get-together for volunteers. This happened at a pretty little place called the Coop du Grand Orme. Snaps of things are below. The band is […]
Watercolour Pencils, and other Watercolour-y and Pencil-ly things.
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, men, montreal, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenA lot of little drawings here, so I’m trying a new feature on WordPress (new to me, anyhow). A “Gallery.” Enjoy! Actually, it’s kind of cool, having the random order. Wish there was a function for captions, however!
Colour Pencil Couple
By Jack Ruttan in Coloured Pencils, sketchesNot sure if I should call them “Colour Pencilled Couple,” but maybe someone will advise.
Rosamund Pike
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, Coloured Pencils, heads, pencil, sketches, womenSaw her in the Tom Cruise movie Jack Reacher, which was a little better than the Lee Child book that I read featuring the character, but that’s not saying much. Anyhow, she as pretty enough, so I searched out a photo to draw a portrait. Here’s a page of faces. The woman in the upper […]
March 2014 Monthly Montreal Comic Jam
By Jack Ruttan in brush pen, collaboration, color, Coloured Pencils, montreal, Rick Gagnon, sketchesIt’s been a while since I’ve shown my face at one of these. Also, the last post on this topic got wiped out in my server crash. Since it paid tribute to a late friend, I’m going to have to put it back together again. Still, even though I had to be reminded and coaxed, […]
Shirley Temple Thoughts, and Watercolour Faces
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, heads, sketches, watercolor, watercolourA little sad about Shirley Temple, whom it seemed was an icon of indomitable “cute” childhood, and also proof that you could be a child star, and then turn out all right. Drew this image not as a portrait, just as an idea, based on her image. Also did some proper faces from magazines, in […]
