I thought the tear helped make the picture. Still not as fun for me as watercolour.

Computer-Painted Characters
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, heads, men, paintings, womenMy computer-painted characters are quicker and more satisfying to draw. I had to reach back into my experience mixing acrylic paints to think of the right kinds of shadows. Still, I feel more confident that I can paint in a pleasant way any subject that occurs to me. Backgrounds and bodies soon to come.

Cool Colours
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, headsTrying to do shadows, contrasts, in a different colour palette. Still a ways to go, but I’m happier with some aspects. Seems to take a lot of practice.

Intense faces and others
By Jack Ruttan in digital, heads, paintingsOne nice thing about drawing on the computer is that you can rework things infinitely. Squish ’em up, stretch them, repaint seamlessly, etc. These two drawings were absolute messes, but I’m sort of happy with them now. Still a ways to go in technique.

Church Ladies and Sad Girls
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, paintingsDrawn on the computer with my Wacom tablet. From my imagination. I don’t know why I’ve drawn these women in a church setting, but I was reading a fantasy story with a stern priestess in it, and my friend has been going to a church. This one makes me think of the Bruce Springsteen song […]

Random Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, digital, heads, pencil, sketchesHad a terrible scare the other night with this site. Not going to talk about it online for fear of summoning the devil. But that can rest for now, and I’ll do a comprehensive backup of all this stuff. For now, I’ll just put up some things I’ve been drawing, more as an exercise for […]

Cosplayer
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, heads, womenI love drawing different types of people. So boring always the same colour of skin. Doing these things fast and furiously seems to help. I may actually fix them later.

Tyrian from Game of Thrones
By Jack Ruttan in digital, headsI just did this and have no idea whether it’s good or not. Fun to do. I may get sour on it later.

The Ascension Trilogy Book One — Sins of the Father
By Jack Ruttan in collaboration, digital, ruttan's place, writingI enjoyed doing this book cover for Thelonious Legend, a new author. It’s a young adult story, but really looks to me like one of these cool “underground” or Beat books from the early 1960s. Sounds like a cool story. He’s putting it out himself in various formats.

Some Anonymous Woman
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, womenI’m getting used to the idea that most of my drawings not done from a photograph will be slightly cockeyed and spidery. Still adventuring in the digital realm, however. For better or worse.

Astronaut
By Jack Ruttan in color, digitalWas 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.
