Politics aside, for some reason I had to draw the local Liberal Party Candidate. (I feel like my face drawing is progressing) I’m actually most likely voting Green, or for the lady with the moustache.

Sketchy-Sketchy
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, pencil, sketches, watercolorI’m always drawing. It’s my nature. Haven’t been posting much of what I’ve been drawing, but thought I’d change that. An imaginary guy in blue. Below, a phone doodle drawn on scrap paper, and other characters and sketches.

Morning Pages
By Jack Ruttan in pen and ink, pencil, sketches, watercolourI didn’t draw all of these today. Just was tardy in uploading them. Here are a few of my pals from the Montreal Monthly Comic Jam. Actually, this is last month’s meeting. There was another last night, but I didn’t have the energy to go. Here I was in a bit of a pissy mood, […]

Cross-Hatchery
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, cats, color, digital, pen and ink, pencil, womenThese are almost automatic drawings I do, while watching movies on the DVD machine, or petting cats.

Going for pretty more than scary, but they’re all interesting, at least. Plus, a bonus pencil drawing of a little boy, from the front cover of VOIR newsweekly:

Printemps d’Erable
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, comics, pencilI hope this doesn’t make me seem too right wing. I was listening to the news on the radio this morning, just waking up, and this is what one item sounded like. To tell the truth, I support the protests!

Further Pencil Outpourings
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, heads, men, pencil, sketches, womenI have lots of little drawings but putting them all up in one post would be overkill. So today here are pages from my big, long sketchbook (well, 9″x12″ — but that’s pretty long). Usually when I scan something I slide a piece of blank paper underneath, but this time I wanted to see the […]

Pencil-lations.
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, men, pencil, sketches, womenBeen drawing a lot in pencil since I’ve started working on digital painting. Unfortunately, not much of the digital is ready for Prime Time (even here, where I often publish imperfect work!). But it is improving mightily, so I might be showing you some less than totally misbegotten images in the future. Part of the […]

No One Visits the Blog on Sunday
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, pencil, sketches, womenThis is true. But I am moved to put up some silly ballpoint pen and pencil drawings I’ve done. Enjoying the more complex scenes these days, and will do a few of these in colour, and digital, which I am fooling around with.
