Was pretty down today, but doing this cheered me up. Just left blank bubbles and squares, then filled them in with whatever. Mainly according to songs I was listening to on the shuffle.

Busy or Bizzay?
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourJust another watercolour thing to keep the blog rolling along. At least I did some useful work today! Gotta feed the cats.

Worst Case Scenario
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolourDiscussing hats, and drawing them, on twitter. Dylan Meconis offered a tutorial on her blog on how to draw tricorn hats. I don’t have big problems with those. But I do with fedoras and cowboy hats. So another artist, Brian Moore, offered me this: Worst-case scenario: ZAPHOD BEEBLEBROX, THE SINGING COWBOY GANGSTER. So, of course […]

Lafontaine Park
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenWhile walking through the park, had to force myself to sit down and paint this. Obviously I could have scooched over so the lamp-post wasn’t in front of the fountain. But hey, I was sitting there. The girl in front, playing with her puppy was super-charming.

Random Scribbles and Splashes
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenStill just drawing random things. Wish I were in a better mood. I added a halo to that wrestler you’ve already seen, and painted a ballet dancer. She’s actually outlined with a dip pen, which is all right. Also drawn with a dip pen is the cowboy below. Should be working on something other than […]

Faces, added while on the balcony
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenSitting here with my cat on a Montreal afternoon in August, putting up some pictures. I’m doing more writing on my Tumblr blog. This one is for sketches, I think. We’ll see how it all shakes out.

New Art, and Tumblr
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenI’ve discovered tumblr, which at the moment is where I’m putting a lot of ranting and rambling I’d like to get out of my system. This is good, because it makes me feel more productive in general. No reason I can’t do that here, however. But we’ll see how it goes. I like keeping things […]

Out the Other Day…
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, women…in old Montreal. Sketched this reader: a very proper older lady, hair slightly blown by the wind. A hoard of daycare kids thundered by several times in a running exercise, and she never looked up, or moved at all. Below, it’s the terra-cotta pencil. I’m getting more interested in backgrounds to these kinds of things. […]

More Pork Sausages, Mom!
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenThat’s what the girl jumping rope said in an R. Crumb funny, so I thought I could use it here. Tough thinking up titles for these things, since they’re mainly random collections of drawings. I’m cool with that, though. Still doing female figures. Above is one copied from that book. Drawing People. My artist friend […]

Why A Fish?
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI don’t know. Fish are fun to paint. So shiny and silvery. Blues and greens work nicely. I’m drawing tons of female figures for a job. These are the ones that don’t quite fit the bill. Still fun. I get better at these things with every job, which is great. Next one should be drawing […]

Typing Paper
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenDon’t think I’ve completely mastered the scanner. Have to look at all the options. In the meantime, here’re a bunch of things I’ve been drawing on scrap paper, while drawing stuff for another job I can’t show you at the moment. Mainly front balcony things.

Enter Title Here
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenI could go on about things, but I think I’m just going to put these up, and leave it at that. Of course, I’ll probably end up making little comments here and there. Above is a gang of sketchbook people, and a happy “War of the Worlds” tripod. I love the old 1910’s version of […]
