What’s New in the Sketchbook?
By Jack Ruttan in horses, men, sketches, watercolour, womenArrr…. Ulllg….
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourThis guy is vaguely based on John Cusack from the movie “Say Anything,” but I was too lazy to draw a portrait. So he becomes “random guy,” because it’s too cold to go out on the balcony and draw people.
