Chrystia
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, color, digital, Gouache, heads, paintings, pen and ink, pencil, Portraits, self-promotion, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenInstead of doing important drawings for which there is a firm deadline, I watched politics on my big TV instead. Lots of long speeches. I liked Chrystia Freeland’s face, so I drew that in my Dollarama sketchbook, with my amazing Winsor and Newton Series 150 Chinese brush. I don’t know if it’s actually a Chinese […]

Hairy Guy in Green
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, heads, pen and ink, self-promotion, sketchesDrawn last year, at least according to the number beside the signature. I’ll try to get into comics more, eventually! Got some interesting old family stuff, as well. So I can post a bit of that, too.

Lunch with Friends
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, brush pen, heads, montreal, pen and ink, Portraits, Rick Gagnon, sketchesHad lunch with a couple of cartoonist friends. Richard Gagnon, Éric Theriault, and Kurt Beaulieu. Got them to draw things in one of my old sketchbooks. Whee! Almost like the good old days, except what’s older are us three…. This was done with my Pentel Brush Pen, which I promptly lost later in the day. […]

Pen & Ink
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, pen and ink, sketches, womenI got out my old Hunt #102 dip pen and drew a lot of little lines on this lady. Should have used a reference (she’s kind of scary). But at least I can cross-hatch!
