I’ve been drawing and painting a lot, but not blogging much. Will try to remedy that today. So here are some pen drawings with the amazing erasable gel pen in different colours. La la. Need to practice my landscapes. Well, that’s what this is for! Everyone should draw, everyday. But I don’t want to sound […]

Another New Sketchbook
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, cats, dogs, men, sketches, womenThat’s about the size of it. This one is cheaper, and fits not too badly into the scanner. I’ve been away drawing things, so I thought I may as well put up everything I’ve been doing until now in one blow. These were drawn with a pilot frixion gel pen, which has the virtue of […]

I’m Not Dead!
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, men, pencil, womenJust away from the scanner for a bit. Please don’t send search parties after me. You can see me lurking in Verdun!

Women, Faces, and Horses
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, horses, men, pencil, watercolour, womenI like drawing wreckage, also pretty women. They don’t really go together, except perhaps in a fashion mag.

More Faces
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, brush pen, cats, men, pen and ink, sketches, womenMore faces, like it said up top, but this time I’m inking them with the brush pen, so they’re not as scratchy. Not sure which I prefer. Above are Liv Tyler from The Lord of the Rings, two faces from the DVD cover for “Sky Captain,” and the sinister Conrad Black, recently released from prison […]

People and Feet
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, montreal, pen and ink, sketches, womenDrawing this morning on the balcony, before the rains came. People walking by, mainly moms and dads back from delivering kids to the nearby day care. Bonus: a sensitive portrait of my foot.

Brown Studies
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, cats, dinosaurs, machines, men, sketches, womenBought some fun new pens (called “Pilot FriXion Ball” gel pens, in brown, .5 mm and .7mm respectively, plus a new sketchbook, because those were on sale at the art store). So I decided to sketch with them using brown pencils to embellish, as necessary. “Brown Studies” is not what the name really means, which […]

Maurice Sendak
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, sketchesHere’s my impression of the late Maurice Sendak, from a documentary I’m watching about him on youtube at the moment. UPDATE: Link is down, too bad. Here’re some salient things from it, on another blog: [link].

Sketch-pourri
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, men, pen and ink, pencil, sketches, womenDarn. That implies “rotten” in French. I was trying to evoke “pot-pourri” as in variety, a kind of goulash of drawings. Anyhow, above is a haughty dame perfectly dressed in a retro outfit. I was happy to see her the other day. The view from the balcony is getting interesting again. Well, not today, because […]

Street Painting, Sketches, Portraits
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, color, digital, dinosaurs, men, pen and ink, sketches, watercolour, womenA little of everything here. A watercolour painting up above. Coloured pic of Jean Paul Belmondo from the movie Stavisky below. Sketches, one perhaps not so wisely coloured. I’m interested in what dinosaurs looked like, because I have the lumbering old-style beasts still stuck in my head. This Tyrannosaurus has a few feathers, which surprises […]

Pretty Pict-chas
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, men, paintings, sketches, watercolour, womenHere are some digital and watercolour pictures (and blends of both) that I’ve been doing today, and over the weekend. So many things to tell about these, and there are still challenges, and important things to learn. But what’s most important is that I’m feeling comfy with the tools, and having fun. Above is using […]
