More from the sketchbook. “Tiny pict-chas,” as my sis used to refer to them, when she wanted to get my goat. I enjoy the line made when the black roller pen gets wet, and mixes a little with the colour.

Comic 2 — Sounds of Summer
By Jack Ruttan in color, comics, sketches, watercolor, watercolourThis one took considerably longer than the first one.

Assorted Sketchbookery
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesI’m drawing a lot. Just not putting it up. I shouldn’t do that, I know. Keep up with things. The weather is warmer, so people are wearing less. They’re more interesting to draw, and I’m also on my perch on the balcony to draw them. Above are a pair of women. Trying to channel R. […]
