I like drawing wreckage, also pretty women. They don’t really go together, except perhaps in a fashion mag.

More Faces
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, brush pen, cats, men, pen and ink, sketches, womenMore faces, like it said up top, but this time I’m inking them with the brush pen, so they’re not as scratchy. Not sure which I prefer. Above are Liv Tyler from The Lord of the Rings, two faces from the DVD cover for “Sky Captain,” and the sinister Conrad Black, recently released from prison […]

People and Feet
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, montreal, pen and ink, sketches, womenDrawing this morning on the balcony, before the rains came. People walking by, mainly moms and dads back from delivering kids to the nearby day care. Bonus: a sensitive portrait of my foot.

Back of the Book
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, color, machines, pen and ink, pencil, sketchesThe coarse cardboard at the back of the sketchbook is nice for drawing with certain types of tools. Here I used colour pencils, and also colour ballpoint pens. Then, a more normal drawing (in execution at least) from the middle of the book, based on one of Big Daddy Roth’s dragster-driving monsters. I used to […]

By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, cats, dinosaurs, machines, men, sketches, womenBought some fun new pens (called “Pilot FriXion Ball” gel pens, in brown, .5 mm and .7mm respectively, plus a new sketchbook, because those were on sale at the art store). So I decided to sketch with them using brown pencils to embellish, as necessary. “Brown Studies” is not what the name really means, which […]

Sketch-pourri
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, men, pen and ink, pencil, sketches, womenDarn. That implies “rotten” in French. I was trying to evoke “pot-pourri” as in variety, a kind of goulash of drawings. Anyhow, above is a haughty dame perfectly dressed in a retro outfit. I was happy to see her the other day. The view from the balcony is getting interesting again. Well, not today, because […]

The Punk Lives
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, comics, digital, Skinny Nameless PunkI’ve learned a lot of crazy inking tools in Adobe Illustrator, and with this study, am happy I’m going to be able to continue my comic, The Skinny Nameless Punk. This is with the blessing of my sometime collaborator/inker Rick Gagnon, with whom I originated the character. Now the thing is to draw a bunch […]
