Well, they were fun for me to do. Pretty tired now. Worked hard today. Maybe it’s just that I worked at all.

And More from Yesterday…
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenI was drawing in that little book. Hence, things take less time to do. I’ll have to think about the implications of that. Not sure what the black squiggle means. I had intended it as a design element, to balance things. This morning it looks ominous.

Faces
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesStruggling with drawing likenesses. But of course, what you do if you’re struggling with something is apply yourself to it. After a lot of failure, success, maybe. I’m not great at faces, not in life, not in drawing. Still trying. Watching my DVD of The Great Lebowski again. I don’t have a lot of DVDs! […]

Untitled, this time.
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolourAnother garish, unlovely watercolour to spoil your morning. But I’m not going to stop doing them. Maybe I will, and then what will you say?

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 […]

Self-Therapy Sketches!
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenAwful day yesterday, but got better. Did some drawing late at night with the Staedtler coloured ballpoints. That helped.

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:

Off Model?
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenStill sketching. Inspired by McCabe & Mrs. Miller. I love the ragged, cheap, but beautiful aesthetic in the film. [look out: spoilers ahoy!] The director said it might have made more money if the Warren Beatty character had been rescued by Julie Christie in the end. But the couple hardly got together at all over […]

Watercolour Crowd
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenWorking on stuff. Depressed over the earthquake in Haiti. Found time to do some watercolours. But they’re hard, still no system of how to do them. Actually, though they don’t always turn out the way I want them too (part of my brilliant system of not thinking before I start anything), I really enjoy doing […]
