I’m not too fond of this, though it’s big, and was a lot of work. Well, more planning next time, rather than just drawing things to fit a page. Next ones will be better!

More New Stuff, and Renovations, Too.
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolourNew stuff. I guess kind of the same, but I like it like that. I’m also enjoying some of the new gadgets on the blog. Don’t want to make it too busy. I tried a couple of new themes, but didn’t like them as much as this one. This one was pretty old, and didn’t […]

Warm and Sunny Day
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, men, sketches, womenIt was such, yesterday when I drew these, and it’s another such today. Happy to draw real animals, etc, from my balcony. Other people are TV and DVD-inspired faces. Not so bad, but I’m waiting for people to start walking by looking less frozen and bundled up.

Watercolour Chops
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourA lot of technique involved in watercolour. Maybe it’s not something other artists deal with, but I find I have to work and relearn things if I want to do something well that isn’t just totally an accident. Sounds as if I’m down on it, because it never looks as polished to me as my […]

It’s The Little Book Again!
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, womenMore sketches from the little black hardcover book. I like that little book. The paper’s nice (can take a wash), and it’s small and scans reasonably well, if I don’t draw too close to the binding. Never got into Molesquines, and that sort of thing. (Not even sure how to pronounce that!) But I do […]

Skaters and Athletic types
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenWatching some Olympics, so drawing these types. Noting that I’m drawing skaters, but leaving out skates. This is kind of an R. Crumb-like girl below. Sorry. That was supposed to be a cute gopher in the background, but I smeared its eyes before they dried, and now he becomes a zombie gopher. I’m including this […]

And More from Yesterday…
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenI was drawing in that little book. Hence, things take less time to do. I’ll have to think about the implications of that. Not sure what the black squiggle means. I had intended it as a design element, to balance things. This morning it looks ominous.

Faces
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesStruggling with drawing likenesses. But of course, what you do if you’re struggling with something is apply yourself to it. After a lot of failure, success, maybe. I’m not great at faces, not in life, not in drawing. Still trying. Watching my DVD of The Great Lebowski again. I don’t have a lot of DVDs! […]
