Spiky Hair
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, menI’m afraid I’m avoiding watercolours by drawing things such as this. He’s sort of true to this drawing software, which started life out as “Manga Studio.”

New Coloured Pencils
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, men, pencil, Portraits, ruttan's place, sketches, womenA generous friend sent me a set of 168 wooden coloured pencils. (Is it “coloured” or “colour”?

Grumpy Writer
By Jack Ruttan in digital, men, pencil, Portraits, sketchesAnd a lazy digital treatment. I’m learning more tricks, but am finding I get my best results when starting with a pencil drawing and scanning it in. I can draw with the stylus, but it takes a lot more time.
