Sketches of women and other things. A couple of other posts I’ve been sitting on, because they’re more complicated. Will try to get them up, soon!

Dinosaurs, Etc.
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI’ve not been blogging as much as usual. Still drawing things, however. Since the weather’s gotten nicer, and I’m less busy, maybe there will be more stuff here, if I’m not totally distracted by Twitter.

Scary Cats
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketches, watercolourSome fairly scary watercolour cats I did, based loosely on creatures I saw over the weekend. They often look a little deranged to me, but maybe that’s what I see!

Science Fiction Writer
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourSketching away in my big book, which, paradoxically, leads to smaller images, even though I have to “stitch” them in photoshop. That one rocket reminds me now of Thunderbird 3. That’s what you get when you don’t research things. The other rocket is probably the “Jupiter C,” or whatever it was that launched the US […]

Back After a Bit
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, paintings, watercolour, womenDidn’t blog for a while. Cause I was sick, and busy, then wasn’t doing much that pleased me. Still could be happier, but at least I’m painting some things. Not horribly thrilled with how the paper’s working. Maybe it’s always absorbed and lightened paint, but I thought that was how it worked, until I painted […]

Sick Boy
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesI’m sick and feeling sicker. Nonetheless working hard, and found time to draw this tonight, while watching a creepy TV program. I’ve got other stuff to post on something I did this week, but that will have to wait. Have a good night! Achoo!

Oversized Sketchbookery
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenI’m doing another Australopithecine strip. Just wait. Could they try and make a shorter name for those little monkey-like beings, possible ancestors of you and I? I don’t know, “Monkey People” is inaccurate. Am going to do some B.C. kind of commentary on the modern world, but want to try to keep it as much […]

More Ballpoint Rambling
By Jack Ruttan in horses, men, sketchesBallpoint pens are fun, and you can kind of get some nice tones happening. Not very archival, I imagine.

New theme, same old drawings.
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenFinally chose a new theme I like for the blog. It wasn’t easy! It will take me a while to get used to this one, but at least all the little details seem to work. On the old one, that wasn’t the case. I still might change the font for the headings, if my meagre […]

Alsatian
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, men, montreal, watercolour, womenThe drawings look more realistic when copied from photographs. My problem is, it’s boring to draw from photographs. I’m painting shapes rather than trying to think around an object. Oh, I just remembered. Drew some sketches on the metro the other day. These to me are the best faces. I don’t know they have a […]
