He was an excellent draftsman and genuinely nice guy. He always came prepared for class with a whole portfolio of drawings, both anatomical and artistic as well as gags he'd worked on. He'd arive early to class (I think punctuality was important to him based on the number of watches he wore, one or two on each wrist) pin his drawings on the wall and we would talk about them during the model breaks. He had a very respectful way of teaching. He would walk around the class with tracing paper and if he saw an issue he wanted to address he would never draw on your drawing. I loved to watch the master dratsman know just what line was out of place and confidently demonstrate with tracing paper where your drawing had veered off coarse....and if you did a good drawing, he couldn't contain his enthusiasm, "Wow! thats a bute!"...Thanks for bringing back the memory of a great artist and wonderful teacher, Jack Ruge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-86759788275859368962007-01-05T12:47:00.000-05:002007-01-05T12:47:00.000-05:00herr gilke; I'm so glad you think so!
