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.

By Jack Ruttan in black and white, color, heads, paintings, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenPosting various sketches I’ve been doing. Mainly to do with the new “Star Wars” movie, which I finally saw, and “Emma” by Jane Austen. Star Wars had some pleasant new characters, but it was basically a rehash of the same old plot. I mean where did they find the time and materials to build a […]
