Page O’ Things
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenThis isn’t the most recent thing I’ve been working on, but it’s more of that yellow underpainting (or “glazing”) as it’s called. Have a lot of ideas for comic strips, which take a while to do. I hope you’ll see them soon! Working on drawing famous people also, or at least portraits that look like […]

Neighbourhood Lady and Unicorn
By Jack Ruttan in horses, men, sketches, watercolour, womenI can’t actually claim to have seen this in the parade of people walking by my 2nd-floor balcony, but she was a striking woman, and the dress I gave her inspired me to give her a mythological pal. Too bad about the pumps, which aren’t exactly something Burne-Jones would have added. Below, a more typical […]

More faces and sketchook pages
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenBeen painting a lot of stuff, but want to focus on the comics. That doesn’t mean these will stop, anytime soon. I’m just putting it up!

Extreme Norosity, and other things.
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenNora was looking cute the other night. So I painted her. Was she THIS cute? Still, pretty darn cute. More of the usual thing. A pilot woman, in front of a Battle-Star Galactica kind of thing. One of my usual sketchbook pages. Including Garlic Heads.

Painting Away the Blues
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, paintings, ruttan's place, sketches, womenPainting and drawing stuff makes me feel better. here’s are some things from yesterday and this morning! Above is Bamako the Black Cat, whom I’m taking care of for the moment, and an Evil Skwirl. Below, some sketches from my balcony I drew with a ballpoint pen I just bought. Can’t resist trying out a […]

Heroes and Ordinary People
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, men, watercolour, womenIn the brush drawing, I’m imagining Wonder Woman’s frumpier, older cousin. I always think that these glamourous types have relatives who are less impressive, and jealous of them. This is Cyrano de Bergerac. In one of his works, he built himself a pair of wings, and flew to the moon. Gotta love that Cyrano! Then, […]

Trials of Moms, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolour, womenLots of parents go by here, taking their charges (sometimes unhappy) to the nearby day care. May draw a few more, as there are all kinds. Just some more faces, with that yellow treatment I was speaking of:

AddYellow
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI’m still messing with yellow, which gives a quality of “light” to my sketches. Of course, I also have to manage the lights and darks to make this work. This is some mad spaceship. I used to draw spaceships all the time as a kid, influenced by Star Trek and 2001 A Space Odyssey. I […]

Pretty Women
By Jack Ruttan in paintings, sketches, watercolour, womenI’m getting used to the idea that I’m not a particularly precise or careful painter, but the better pictures seem to be the ones I don’t fuss over too much. I’m not good at underdrawing and structure. When I try to use them, the results seem forced and stiff. I think these are nice, because […]

People Sitting
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenStill doing pinup girls, though this one is kind of rubbery. Bear with me, please! Also, a sitting guy.
