I 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.

Digital Portraits
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, digital, heads, paintingsI watched this Youtube video, and it actually gave me some inspiration in terms of portraits from photographs. I drew these three in about an hour, not trying to censor myself, but paying attention to edges, and the placement of things.

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

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.

Cover Girl
By Jack Ruttan in Coloured Pencils, digitalI sort of really hate copying other people’s illustrations, but I learned a lot about hair here. She’s on the cover of this book about digital painting, which actually doesn’t tell you a lot about how to do digital painting (but does give you some tips and techniques if you already know what you’re doing. […]

A Need to Relax
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, digital, paintings, womenIt’s actually been a trying time lately. But I’m happy with where these are going. Strange that the cross-hatching looks good, but I rarely use it on watercolours. Feel like it’s cheating, in the same way as a lot of these computer tools I’m using. I think this stems back to when my late mom […]
