Just another watercolour thing to keep the blog rolling along. At least I did some useful work today! Gotta feed the cats.

Retro Lines
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, sketches, womenI’m way more comfortable drawing in a spidery scratchy way than I am making the slick lines that seem popular in animation and graphic art these days. Still, fun to try. Doing some construction is also helping me with the heads and bodies. Part of the trouble with being self-taught as an artist, is that […]

Worked hard today. Drew some silly things in the meantime. I’m sorry.

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 […]

Random Page of Stuff
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, womenI’ve used that title before. This is just a page of drawings. Some of them, mainly that dancing girl, relate to work things. Yay for roller pens!

Men
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesThis is a pencil drawing in my big book. I was too lazy scan it, and stitch it together, so I snapped it instead. Now I feel to lazy to write anything about it. It’s kind of self-explanatory. All my drawings of women at the moment are going to my burlesque project. But I felt […]

Pencils
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, womenBought these pencils at a new art store I saw, that had opened up on Laurier Street near Papineau. There used to be a framing shop which had a smattering of art supplies. Now, I guess they thought they’d move out and expand the art supplies. This is welcome, because there’s a dearth of independent […]

Morning People
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenI’ve been an early bird in my older middle age. So, I’m up with the sun sitting with a coffee, drawing stuff in the morning. During summer, I can be on my balcony, spying on people. That’s where most of these come from. Actually, I drew them in pencil yesterday. Today I added the finishing […]

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 […]

Tiny Pic-tures
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenNothing too ambitious here. Just “tiny pic-tures,” as my sister used to disparagingly call them. I don’t have that much in mind while drawing them. More a form of relaxation.
