New Year, New Site

Last year, almost a year ago actually, I redid “JohnDiBiase.com” as a blog to hopefully make it more interactive. Unfortunately, the blog setup I chose didn’t work quite right so here I am again re-submitting my catalog of works into a new site altogether… on WordPress. Life has been crazy […]

Myrna Loy and William Powell Pencil Drawing

I drew this picture in December of 2009 as a gift for my wife Amy for Christmas. William Powell and Myrna Loy starred together in about eleven or twelve films together, six of which were part of the popular mystery comedies “The Thin Man.” I started this on a Saturday […]

Bill Murray as Peter Venkman Pencil Drawing

This drawing has been a long time coming. Back when I had done the drawing of Ray from “Ghostbusters,” I had wanted to also do this scene from the film. It’s when Bill Murray as Peter Venkman gets attacked by the ghost of Slimer. Iconic! I finally decided it was […]

Frank Sinatra Pencil Drawing

About a week or so before my Grandmother’s 80th birthday party in November, 2009, I put this drawing of Frank Sinatra on the fast track to get it done in time as a surprise gift for her. As a beyond-avid fan of Ole Blue Eyes, I couldn’t resist working on […]

Harpo Marx Pencil Drawing

This drawing of comedian Harpo Marx is actually probably my all-time favorite portrait I’ve done. I finished it 4/24/2005 (according to my scribbling on the back of it) and it has actually been hanging in my living room since then. It was drawn freehand from a photo of Harpo that […]

Cary Grant Pencil Drawing

I started this Cary Grant portrait in the end of April, 2005, while watching Antz on my laptop (2010 note: I get amusement out of re-reading what I was doing or watching or where I was while working on these drawings. It’s silly trivia, but it’s kind of funny to […]

Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey in “Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind” Pencil Drawing

  Whew! This was a project. I started drawing this particular one on June 23, 2006. I worked on it a bit every few nights (I took progress shots with my cell phone camera. I may try to get those up on here sometime), but ultimately lost the drive and […]

Dan Aykroyd as Ray Stantz Pencil Drawing

“Venkman! Venkmaaaaan!” This portrait of Dan Akroyd from his role as Ray Stanz in Ghostbusters marked my return to portraits in 2004. It’s the first finished drawing I started probably since the Jim Caviezel sketch. While some drawings rested unfinished in a pad somewhere (including Harpo Marx, which thankfully I […]

Jim Carrey as ‘The Grinch’ (Colored Pencil)

I started this colored pencil drawing of Jim Carrey as The Grinch (2000) during my last semester of college at Northampton Community College in 2000. I remember often just sitting in the school’s cafeteria working on it. I found it a challenge to try to capture the color of the […]

Mark Ruffalo and Reese Witherspoon “Just Like Heaven” Pencil Drawing

For Christmas, 2004, I drew that picture from “Serendipity” for my wife Amy as one of her gifts. I was honestly shocked at how much she loved it. When I asked her why she liked that picture over others I’d done for her in the past, it was because I’d […]

Kate Winslet and Lloyd Pencil Drawing

This used to be one of my all-time favorite portrait drawings — mainly because it’s something different than anything I’d done before and I liked the outcome (which is rare). I just love the fact that Lloyd is just hanging out in the same “world” as us. By the way, […]

Leonardo DiCaprio Pencil Drawing

There were many reasons, originally, for a second Leonardo DiCaprio drawing. Although I don’t care for him much now, at the time, it sounded great for a… “sequel.” The first Leo drawing, the one I did for my cousin, was distributed to probably over 100 people and further. However, when […]

Jim Carrey “Truman Show” Pencil Drawing (1998)

I drew this picture because, I have to admit– Jim Carrey is one of my favorite actors. (I don’t agree with some of the roles he plays and some of the material he has in his movies, but there’s something about his characters that always drew me to relate). One […]

Sarah Jahn Pencil Drawing

This portrait of singer Sarah Jahn was the first ever drawn in my “infamous” sketchbook (which acted as a sort of prehistoric portfolio). I had started it many months before, without finishing it until June 2, 1998. For some reason I had gotten lazy and abandoned it for a long […]

Rebecca St. James and sister, Libby Pencil Drawing

I drew this picture out of being a big fan of Rebecca St. James during my teen years. I had tried several drawings of her in the past but they were all rather unsuccessful. This picture, found in her 40 Days with God devotional book, looked so cute. It soon […]

Eric Champion Pencil Drawing Cutout on Foam Board

This portrait of singer Eric Champion is actually one I did while in high school in 1996. It originated as a just a sketch in a barren sketchbook. It had basically disappeared till the 1997 art show in which I resurrected it for entry. My teacher suggested I cut it […]

Mark Stuart of Audio Adrenaline Pencil Drawing

For years I’d attempted to draw a portrait of Mark Stuart from Audio Adrenaline but had always failed miserably. In January of 2000, I decided to try again. I was hoping to see them live the following month and give him a personal copy. After my first attempt failed, I […]

Jaci Velasquez Pencil Drawing

In an effort to practice my drawing and hopefully develop and sharpen it during the fall of 2000, after the Jon Foreman sketch, I went right into working on one of Jaci Velasquez. From ‘day one’ when I saw the beautiful photograph version of this shot– also her album cover […]

Leigh Nash Pencil Drawing

  I drew this picture of Leigh Nash in my sketch book using strictly pencil. However, the darkest areas are done with Ebony– a special kind of dark pencil (and a personal favorite). I used different shades, too, of course– 2H, HB, 2B. I saw Sixpence None the Richer in […]

Leigh Nash Pencil Drawing

I drew this picture of Sixpence None the Richer’s Leigh Nash on special charcoal paper using strictly graphite pencils. This marked the last time I’ve used this type paper. I have found it frustrating and hard to work with. This sketch was for my older brother’s girlfriend’s (now his wife, […]

Jon Foreman of Switchfoot Pencil Drawing

When I initially saw this photo of Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman in August, 2000, I considered it for a drawing because I thought it was pretty cool and unique. I had been addicted to their album Learning to Breathe since I snagged a copy around that time and this drawing was […]

Jamie Rowe of Guardian Pencil Drawing

This shot is a scene from the 2001 film Serendipity in which Kate Beckinsale’s character (Sara) had been ice skating with John Cusack’s character (Jonathan) and when they both fall, they retreat to a park bench. As a result of the fall, Sara acquires a scrape on her arm which […]

Tommy Lee Jones Pencil Drawing

This picture of Tommy Lee Jones originated in my “infamous” sketch book which became home to all of my high school portrait drawings. This one was made using only pencil, however, I used different shades, of course. But since Tommy Lee Jones has been one of my favorite actors for […]

Jackie Chan Pencil Drawing

After movies like Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, Jackie Chan secured himself as one of my favorite actors. I’ve always liked his characters because he manages to be funny and amaze with his martial arts abilities. This drawing began as a doodle during my Contemporary Biology class in the Fall […]

This picture was actually the second Catherine Zeta-Jones drawing I did. I had drawn one up that I kind of liked, but wasn’t totally satisfied with. Then, someone told me it looked nothing like her. So I tried to fix it and in the process, made it worse. SO, I […]

Jim Caviezel Pencil Drawing

This sketch was my first portrait of 2002 and broke an almost year-long hiatus from drawing. I had done other drawings that were just basically doodles and such since then, but this was the first real detail-oriented sketch in a long time. Jim Caviezel is a fantastic actor and an […]
