Gouache and Red Pencil People
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, Gouache, heads, paintings, pencil, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenNotebook Computer
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, digital, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenMy little notebook computer is great. But it’s a little silly to use, sometimes, as this guy demonstrates. He’s drawn in melty watercolour pencils and (I didn’t realise it at the time), melty black/purple roller pen. This is a Regency little girl, inspired by Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. Of course, the real little girl […]
Coloured Pencil Things
By Jack Ruttan in cats, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, pencil, sketches, womenStar Wars, etc.
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 […]
In the sketchbook.
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, color, paintings, pencil, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenMy sketchbook is a bit like my written journal. I sit down with it, with no idea of what I’m about to write (or draw). Kind of therapy, I suppose, or like practicing scales if you were playing the piano. The bottom corner is a gentleman I saw walking by on the street. Above was […]
Space Flyer
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, sketches, womenSince the drawings I did for “Rank the Prank” are part of the broadcast, and give away surprises in the show, I’m beavering away at creating similar things which show off how I’ve advanced with the digital painting thing. This is always hard because I’m never certain about my work. Also, it’s been a bit […]

Digital Dalliance
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, heads, womenI hope I’m not wasting my time trying to paint digitally. My line, which I think looks nice enough in watercolour or little pen and ink drawings, to me doesn’t look so appealing in digital. Still, this post gives me hope. It’s from a “famous” digital artist, discussing how her drawing has improved over the […]
Various Sketchbook Pages
By Jack Ruttan in color, heads, horses, men, pencil, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenVarious items from the sketchbook. I’m trying to work out of my comfort zone. The last two are more like what I usually enjoy doing. I love horses. Worked at a horse farm for one summer. Trying here for more “frosty colours, rather than the warm tones I often use. I’ve got better ideas about […]
“Traditional” Media
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, color, heads, paintings, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenI’ve been so deep into digital, that I began to wonder whether I could still do useful things with paper. Below is a drawing a made during a phone coversation (they’re often long, at least with my friend). Black ballpoint pen in my sketchbook. Above is a made-up woman painted on a sample of my […]
Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, color, Coloured Pencils, men, pen and ink, sketches, watercolour, womenSome new sketches. I’m always drawing, but not been putting everything up, even though I used to do that.
Digital Dallying.
By Jack Ruttan in color, digital, womenI’m reasonably pleased with how digital painting is progressing. Takes a different skill set to work with the stylus, and the program. Colour’s never been my strong suit, but I’ve learned things in watercolour to make images bright and interesting, and am learning the same thing here, I hope. All the tutorials on Deviantart.com and […]
