I was a late bloomer to the show “24,” getting into it after it had finished its run, but right before the additional season, “Live Another Day.” I drew this in order for Kiefer to sign for me, but then […]
I find beautiful images inspiring, and Italian model Nicole Vincenti is just a treasure trove of them. Here’s another freehand graphite drawing of her I really enjoyed working on.

With watching Star Wars: Andor, I thought I might draw Adria Arjona in summer 2023. It’s also nice to branch out a bit from my usual drawing muses. 😉 Purchase link for the original drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/adria-arjona-original-graphite-portrait-drawing-not-a-print-9×12 Purchase link for prints: […]

I’m a wuss when it comes to watching violent shows and movies. I love the editing service VidAngel because it allows me to still experience these kinds of stories – just a little less brutal. So I ended up watching Vikings through […]
By now, you know I enjoy drawing Evangeline Lilly. I liked this one because it was a different pose altogether, and also a more recent image of her than the ones I usually end up drawing. Also… sometimes those exaggerated, […]
This is a freehand graphite portrait drawing I did of Monica Barbaro from Top Gun: Maverick. This is a good example of a drawing I did on my own that very quickly got purchased as soon as I finished. Fun fact – […]
I went through the full series of Vikings using VidAngel (it’s too graphic for me to watch it unedited) and I loved Katheryn Winnick in the show. This was my first attempt at a portrait of her — it’s not my […]
I’m excited to announce that I will have a table at a craft show at Becky’s Drive-In on Sunday, May 3rd, 2026 in Walnutport, PA. The show will run from 10am to 4pm. (Rain date is May 17th) Come see […]
After watching 1883 edited thru VidAngel, I decided to draw the adorable Isabel May. I actually really liked how this one turned out too. I drew it freehand in graphite pencil.

Here’s a freehand graphite drawing I did of Rachel Zegler in the summer of 2023. This was right before her mouth got her in trouble on the internet. haha I did tag her when I posted this, and I think […]
Oh, look – Ana de Armas again! Here’s another freehand graphite drawing of her. I was actually commissioned to draw this one in 2023. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/ana-de-armas-sweater-graphite-pencil-drawing-print-85-x-11
My third-ever pop-up shop is taking place on Sunday, December 14th at Michael’s Arts & Crafts in Whitehall, PA from 1pm to 5pm! Come see me! I’ll have prints, original drawings, bookmarks, stickers, magnets and books on sale during that […]
I had the ever-so-brief pleasure of meeting Michael J. Fox in 2018 at Boston Fan Expo, but it was for a photo op, not an autograph session. At a Philly con, I decided to get him to sign my drawing… […]
Knowing I’d be able to meet Tom Wilson at a comic-con in Philly, I did a relatively quick colored pencil and marker drawing (on toned tan paper) of Tom as Biff in Back to the Future. 🙂 He was a […]
This was another one of those drawings that took forever to finish. I forget exactly why, but I kept shelving it and coming back to it later. I believe it was a candid photo Karen Gillan had posted of her […]
With the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, I thought I might do a Shuri-Black Panther drawing with a tribute to Chadwick Boseman baked in. I did this one freehand with mostly colored pencil, and some colored pencil for her fallen […]
After seeing her in the Shazam! movies, I thought I’d draw Grace Caroline Currey – AKA Grace Fulton (she was good in Fall, too). Here’s a freehand graphite drawing I did of her – my first time drawing her. Purchase link […]
In high school, some of my first decent portrait drawings were actually of Leonardo DiCaprio from Titanic. But I never drew Jack and Rose together. So, in 2023, I decided to do a new portrait drawing of Jack and Rose together, […]
I chose to draw Picard last in my young/old STTNG series because I had drawn Picard once before on his own – and wanted to draw some new characters for a change. Hope you guys enjoyed this series! It was […]
Getting down to the final characters I needed to complete my young/old series, we have Gates McFadden’s Dr. Crusher. Now, just like with LeVar, I had the chance to also meet her at the same con, but she also left […]
What ST TNG fan doesn’t love Geordi! He was next on my list for the young/old series. Sadly, I brought this to a convention in Rhode Island in 2023 to get signed by him, but I got stuck in lines for […]
Continuing right along with the Next Generation young/old project, we have Deanna Troi in Picard and the original show. 🙂 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/deanna-troi-from-picard-and-star-trek-tng-marina-sirtis-colored-pencil-drawing-p
Data has to be my favorite character in Star Trek. Maybe it’s his loyalty, his desire to be more human, his innocence, his tenacity, his unintentional humor… his cat, Spot — or all the above. But Brent Spiner’s Data is […]
My buddy Adam and I went to an event to meet a couple of the Back to the Future actors so I drew this freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Harry Waters Jr. as Marvin Berry (on toned gray […]
Knowing ahead of time I was going to be at a convention where Richard Young – who’d played “Fedora” in one of my all-time favorite movies, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I whipped up this freehand colored pencil drawing on […]
The next in my young/old Star Trek TNG series is Worf. I was really happy with how this one turned out, too! Picard Worf is done in graphite, with younger Worf in colored pencil.

The story behind this one is kind of funny, silly, and embarassing… So actress Stana Katic posted the source photo I used to draw this and I figured it was her — especially because the eyes kind of look like […]
After the young/old series I did with Star Wars, I decided that – while rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation – it might be fun to draw the cast young from the show and older in the final season of Picard, […]
Truth be told, any drawing with more than one person to capture a likeness for is daunting to me… but 1984 Ghostbusters is still my favorite movie and I love drawing stuff for it. So for this one, I am the client. […]
