It’s a new sketchbook! These things are expensive. I’m thinking I should be like Chester Brown, and not worry about my legacy. Because I’ll be gone, and then people can fight over the old books, if they want to….

I drew this in my sketchbook yesterday, based on people I was sitting near, while I was riding on the train to go see my friend in her Care Centre.

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.

By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketches, womenThis lady was sitting across from me as I was riding the Montreal Metro. She was actually flashier than this, and possibly indigenous.

Yelling People!
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, heads, pencil, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenI have to update my blog, template and all, to add new, modern things. I hope not a ton of pop-ups, etcetera. Still, this is a recent sketchbook page I actually worked on today! I’m setting up a Patreon link, and also have a cool illustration thing I’m going to share soon! Please stay tuned!
