Shatner
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, heads, men, pencilThe older, goofier William Shatner actually reminds me a bit of my dad. I’ll have to draw him, sometime. He actually rode in an elevator with Shatner and Brooke Shields, once, at the Banff Springs Hotel.

Writer’s Guild Meeting
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, pencil, sketchesWent to the Writer’s Guild of Canada Montreal meeting. This is the guild in Canada working for film and TV writers, which I am, occasionally. They were handing out free pencils and pads, along with other swag, so I couldn’t resist. One person here saw me drawing her, so I never finished that sketch. This […]

Rosamund Pike
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, Coloured Pencils, heads, pencil, sketches, womenSaw her in the Tom Cruise movie Jack Reacher, which was a little better than the Lee Child book that I read featuring the character, but that’s not saying much. Anyhow, she as pretty enough, so I searched out a photo to draw a portrait. Here’s a page of faces. The woman in the upper […]

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 […]

Scrap Paper Pad
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, pencil, sketchesAfter a meeting at a law office, I was given a lot of scratch pads made of scrap paper. These are great to scribble idly on while having a conversation. A different part of my brain is engaged doing the drawing, so generally I can still follow and take part in the conversation. This isn’t […]

Candidate
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, pencil, sketches, womenPolitics 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. Cross-hatching is fun for me, but there’s almost no end to it. You simply have to stop, rather than declare something finished. The bonus this time is a little coloured cat picture:

Watercolour Women
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, color, heads, paintings, pencil, watercolour, womenBeen painting sometimes strange watercolour portraits of women. 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!
