Watercolour Therapy
By Jack Ruttan in color, sketches, watercolor, watercolour
Got a ton of thick, good quality watercolour paper lately.
So, I’m just trying to paint, without worrying about ruining good paper. Not all of these are masterpieces, or will go on walls.
But they feel good to do.
Watching the paint dry, as Jill Thompson put it. I wonder what she’s doing, these days?
I sort of love backwash, which is supposed to be the worst sin in watercolour, anytime. But I think it’s cool and interesting.

Digital Burd and Flower
By Jack Ruttan in sketches
More digital things, thanks to Clip Studio Paint, and my Huion pad and stylus. Not too inspiring as a work of art, but I’m getting into pressing all the right switches and finding the commands. Someday I’ll record some things on Instagram, and you can see my wonderful process….

Puck the Dog!
By Jack Ruttan in digital, dogs
Here’s a little picture of a dog I did for a birthday card. I was a little influenced by this artist I know on Twitter.
Sometimes it’s hard drawing dogs, and making the eyes not creepy. Adding a little white often helps, but some people just do “people eyes.” Or dots, as in this case.

Lilac Paper

Some drawings on this pretty paper my pal has pads of.
The guy with a sword in his mouth is inspired by one of the stained glass images in the Sainte-Chapelle Church in Paris.
