Digital 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 Peeps
By Jack Ruttan in digitalI think the airbrushy style is a good complement to my still wiggly digital painting.

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.

Karloff-ish.
By Jack Ruttan in digitalListening to this very good podcast about Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, I drew my idea of Boris Karloff on my computer. I should really use references, so this guy is just Karloff-like. (darn it! Lots of pictures on the podcast site!) You know, one of my Great-Aunts was married to Karloff for a while, […]
