I did some more of these, but I’ll put them up later. Good night again!

Miniatures
By Jack Ruttan in horses, sketches, watercolourI like these little paintings. Though I have to take my glasses off to do them. The biggest is four inches high. These others, more like three and two. No, he’s not Pedobear:

No Better Things to do?
By Jack Ruttan in horses, men, sketches, watercolourI’m actually putting off some important work, but thought I’d screw around with watercolour, because it’s important to keep one’s hand in. These guys are from some things I watch a lot, which are the “making of” documentaries from the Extended set Lord of the Rings DVDs. I think I like those more than the […]

Back into comics?
By Jack Ruttan in cats, horses, men, sketches, womenYesterday’s comic was my trying to do that. Get into a working routine that doesn’t take me too long (nobody’s paying for those pages yet! But they’re a lot of effort), and see what works. That means finding what I’d like to do, and in what style. Also, as I usually do with the sketches […]

New Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in horses, men, sketches, womenAlways sketching: busy hands. I added her dress pattern via photoshop. Yay, C’boys! One of them is vaguely Francis Ford Coppola, director of the Godfather films:

Coming Undone With a Nameless One…
By Jack Ruttan in horses, sketchesThat’s just a (possibly misheard) song lyric from Wendy James, that I thought would make a neat title. Otherwise, these are new sketches, from my recent trip to Calgary to visit my Dad, who passed away. This and the other two below are from the Toronto Pearson Airport. Little horse, drawn on the plane: Server […]

More Faces
By Jack Ruttan in horses, sketches, watercolourFeeling like I’m getting better at it. Actually, I just enjoy doing these. Meanwhile, I’m watching a cheap supermarket DVD of the silent film “Nosferatu.” The picture quality is terrible, but every frame is a perfect image.

Sundays
By Jack Ruttan in horses, watercolourWow. Painting dark in watercolour is hard. Or, at least involves different skills than slashing away at a light picture. With light things, there’s always a chance of overworking something, and spoiling it. With these, there always seems to be something else you can do, which will make it a better, more interesting picture. I’m […]

Eccentric Farm Scene
By Jack Ruttan in horses, sketches, watercolourA woman in an evening dress really has nothing to do with a guy leading a horse around, but that’s what you get when you start drawing on a big sheet of watercolour paper. At least this stuff is a little more resistant to “cockling” than my usual sketchbook paper, even though it’s not stretched. […]
