Science Fiction Experiment
By Jack Ruttan in men, paintings, watercolour, womenGot carried away painting something in one of my books. The more complex you make it, it seems the more the flaws show up. Oh well, I enjoyed doing it. Trying to manage my lights and darks, my perspective, also my colour palette. The interesting thing about doing these is that they never quite get […]

New Stuff…
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, women.. but somehow the same. Sigh. If anyone cares, that strange object in the upper right-hand corner is a doodle of an Italian drinking fountain I made to illustrate an anecdote to someone. Coloured it in.

Slightly Random
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenBusy as of late. I’ve been drawing things in the between times, but not really putting them up. Maybe it will even out, but I wonder. Anyhow, here are some more drawings and paintings. Some are sort of from life, some not. I’ll let you guess. The guy below, in pencil, is roughly inspired by […]

The Little Book
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesWhile i haven’t posted here for a few days (been busy here on my tumblr doing exciting gardening videos), I’ve still been drawing, so there’s a backlog of things to put up. Today it’s black and white drawings from my small sketchbook. I’ve labelled it “VL” –not that that means anything, but it’s something I […]

Sketchbook Fun
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenMore people from my head, and on the street. Along with buying a lot of new sketchbooks at “Back to School” sales at various art stores, I’ve been wrapping up some ones that have been filled up. The problem for me comes when I have to find space to store them in my little apartment. […]

Portrait
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI painted this in about 4 minutes from a photo. Wish all my painting was this easy, but if I just did this all the time, I’d get bored. That’s why I tackle the complex things which are just out of my reach. Later I’ll probably find something wrong with this one, too.

Back to School
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenOne advantage of this time of year for cheap writer/artists is that there are plenty of “back to school” sales on stationery and art supplies. So, I’ve stocked up on cool sketchbooks. The above creeps are from a new hardcover one, which has paper that’s nice for watercolour. But it’s hard to scan, with that […]

Monochrome Crew
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenIt’s fun blogging at quarter to six in the morning. Had nothing better to do, but this was queued up, and ready to go. I think it’s more fun (but more work) telling stories with these people, because they’re all about stories. However, they just appear as I draw/paint them. I don’t sit down saying […]

Canson “Mix Media” (sic) Sketchbook
By Jack Ruttan in cats, watercolour, womenThis kitty was painted in my book, the make of which is in the title, and about which I was complaining to another artist about because it likes to absorb and lighten dark watercolour paint. I’m too cheap to buy a better book, and frankly, haven’t found one at a reasonable price. It’s not so […]

More Women
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesThese are a lot of drawings of women, of different shapes and sizes. I know representation of women is a loaded topic, and maybe you can’t win, but I enjoy playing with it, and always working on the craft. Below, she’s a more typical idealised “comic book type,” actually copied from the book How_to_Draw_Comics_the_Marvel_Way.” I […]
