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!
Guys, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, heads, men, Portraits, sketches, womenVarious ballpoint characters. Going to pick up that book!
Harpy
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, womenLooking at pictures by Peter de Seve. He draws scary ladies, which I sort of like. Ballpoint pen, with unapologetic blobs.
MLK
By Jack Ruttan in digital, heads, Portraits, womenThis is a little late for Martin Luther King Day, but I drew him a couple of years ago, for an article for Coreopsis Journal of Myth & Theatre. It’s called It Can Happen Here, and it’s written by Ron Boyer.
More sketchbookery
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, cats, Coloured Pencils, pencil, sketches, watercolor, womenPictures done from reference are more “realistic,” but not as much fun to draw as more cartoony things. I sort of adore the way ballpoint pens “blob.” Other artists wipe the point, I think, in between doing cross-hatching lines.
New Coloured Pencils
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, men, pencil, Portraits, ruttan's place, sketches, womenA generous friend sent me a set of 168 wooden coloured pencils. (Is it “coloured” or “colour”? The last one sounds slightly illiterate.) I’ve taken them out of their packaging, where they were inaccessible, and put them into yogurt containers, where I can reach them and see what I’m drawing with. Some of the pencils […]
Priestess
By Jack Ruttan in digital, heads, paintings, sketches, womenInspired by an unpleasant character from a U.K. Le Guin story.
Digital Dame
By Jack Ruttan in digital, heads, womenDigital painting, on the bigger computer again. Trying to do what’s called “glazing,” using my “natural brushes.”

This is sort of a test, in that I’m trying to post something via photos I took with the iPad. Sadly, there are a few things I haven’t figured out, but this is good enough for the time being.
Star Wars-ian Portraits
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, Gouache, heads, pen and ink, pencil, Portraits, sketches, womenOf characters whose names all begin with “L,” apparently.
Black Watercolour Pencils
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, Coloured Pencils, sketches, womenSeems like a lot of variety in “black” in coloured pencils. The face on the left was drawn with an “Ivory Black,” which is quite different from the black of another, cheaper brand. I’m quite miffed, though, that the more expensive pencil just split in half while I was sharpening it. Maybe some crazy glue […]
