Pencil Drawing of Bill Murray as Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters

I finally bit the bullet and attempted this screenshot from the beginning of the film. I’ve been wanting to draw it for years actually. I worked on this from November 26 thru December 3, 2013. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/171612623/peter-venkman-ghostbusters-bill-murray?

Pencil Drawing of Chris Hemsworth as Thor in “Thor: The Dark World”

I recently did a new drawing of Loki and thought it only fair to do a new one of Thor (with more detail than the first drawing). See, when drawing freehand — for me, at least — I have some problems with laying out exactly how the proportions will go […]

Pencil Drawing of Tom Hiddleston as Loki in “Thor: The Dark World”

For the Avengers release last year, I did a series of pencil drawings where I mixed colored pencil and graphite together. I liked the end result, but the truth is that my heart lies with all-pencil drawings. I’m still trying to improve my pencil skills, so I’m continuing to work […]

Pencil Drawing of Ernie Hudson as Winston Zeddemore in “Ghostbusters”

It’s not secret that I’m a huge Ghostbusters fan. So far, I’ve drawn Peter a few times, Ray twice and Egon a couple of times (for the first time this year). Where’s Winston? Nothing personal, Ernie, I just never got around to drawing Winston before. I had a really hard […]

Pencil Drawing of Andrew Schwab of Project 86

Still digging the idea of drawing my own original photo work, I took a photo of one of my favorite vocalists, Andrew Schwab of the band Project 86, from Uprise Festival last month, and decided to give it a shot. It’s all pencil (I corrected the shiny background the scanner […]

Pencil Drawing of Skillet’s John Cooper

Next I chose a photo I had just recently taken at Uprise Fest in September 2013 and decided to draw John Cooper, frontman of the rock band Skillet. I’ve been a fan of their music since first hearing a sampler BEFORE their debut album came out in 1996. Needless to […]

Pencil Drawing of Family Force 5’s Solomon Olds

Continuing a run of artist portrait drawings, I decided to choose Family Force 5’s Solomon Olds, especially after his announcement of retiring from the band. I’ve been a fan of them since first seeing them perform a showcase in Nashville in 2005. I took the original photo at Purple Door […]

Pencil Drawing of TobyMac (in Concert)

After drawing the recent Jon Foreman portrait, I really liked the feeling of drawing a photo I took and just really liked the idea of doing more drawings like that. So to start, I decided to work on a photo I took of TobyMac in concert on his Hits Deep […]

Pencil Drawing of Jon Foreman of Switchfoot

Truth be told, my first pencil portraits were of CCM artists back in the mid 90s. Artists like DC Talk and PFR were frequent subjects as I tried to figure out my way around drawing faces (they’re quite embarrassing to look at today). Back around 2000 I did a drawing […]

Pencil Drawing of John Krasinski as Jim Halpert in “The Office”

Speaking of shows ending… I figured Pam needed her Jim, and therefore, Mr. Krasinski was a natural choice for a new project. I’ve been a fan of The Office since a friend encouraged me to watch it around season 3. 2013 is a rough year for losing good shows on […]

Pencil Drawing of Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Westen in “Burn Notice”

After drawing Bruce Campbell as Sam Axe, I found it only necessary to draw Burn Notice’s central character, Michael Westen. I figured it was timely given the pending demise of the show this month… (And I’m going to miss it!)

Pencil Drawing of Bruce Campbell as Sam Axe in “Burn Notice”

I have my new sister-in-law to thank for getting me hooked on Burn Notice last fall. I ended up watching all six seasons in a matter of just a couple weeks. Now with it currently running its final episodes, I felt inspired to draw Bruce Campbell as Sam Axe (definitely […]

Pencil Drawing of Jenna Fischer

As being a big fan of the US “The Office” TV show, I had been wanting to draw Steve Carell for a while. In searching for photos of Michael Scott, this lovely picture of Jenna Fischer (Pam on The Office) popped up. So I decided it would make a great […]

Pencil Drawing of Jerry Seinfeld

This drawing, which I worked on a few hours a night from July 30 to August 7, was a new challenge. I won’t reveal just why, but let’s just say… it wasn’t the usual draw-a-picture-of-a-picture kind of portrait. I was pretty pleased with how it turned out (although I think […]

Drawing of Michael Emerson as Ben Linus from LOST

On July 1st I started this one of Ben Linus to add another character to the lot of LOST drawings. Well… I hit the background and shirt and found it very tedious and laborious, so I kept starting (and finishing) new drawings while taking breaks from this one. By the […]

Drawing of Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy in “Anchorman”

I hate drawing backgrounds. However, I realize drawing backgrounds is a good practice and usually makes drawings look more complete. I’ve been drawing a portrait since July 1st that I keep putting aside because really all that’s left is a striped shirt and a leafy background. Yeah, this isn’t that […]

Drawing of Harold Ramis as Egon Spengler in “Ghostbusters II”

I love drawing stuff related to my favorite film, Ghostbusters, so when it came time to find a photo to use as a source for Egon, the best I could find was a still from Ghostbusters 2 in the courtroom. But I love the shot and I love the expression […]

Drawing of Jim Carrey as Lloyd Christmas in “Dumb and Dumber”

A classic film that I’ve known needed treatment for a while is Dumb and Dumber. However, given the age of the movie, it’s tough to find stills from the movie to draw from. Still, when I found the source photo that I would use for the above drawing, I thought […]

Drawing of Martin Freeman as John Watson in BBC’s Sherlock

Somehow I missed posting this one, but I did really enjoy working on Sherlock’s Watson. I love Martin Freeman as an actor and I originally hadn’t planned on drawing him as Watson, but after watching the show–and then drawing Benedict — I felt I needed to add Watson. For this […]

Pencil Portrait of Rachel Weisz

In late June, 2013, I decided to follow Superman with a portrait of Rachel Weisz, an actress I’ve enjoyed the work of since I first saw her in Chain Reaction and then The Mummy. For this one, I really tried to push detail again and use various grades of pencils. […]

Colored Pencil/Graphite Drawing of Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel

Here’s the final scan of the aforementioned Superman portrait. After seeing the film “Man of Steel” at midnight on 6/14/13, I started work on this drawing later that morning. I finished it three days later (but “four” sessions: 6/14, 15, 16, 17) in the AM… I used mostly Prismacolor Premiere […]

Process of a Portrait: Superman (Henry Cavill) [Colored Pencil and Graphite]

Some people like to see drawings in progress and I have gotten in the habit of taking progress shots with my phone while working on it. It’s good to get another perspective on it, actually, to compare the drawing to the original source photo, and to also see how it […]

With all the hype surrounding the release of Star Trek Into Darkness, and with the recent completion of my drawing of “Shatner” Kirk, I decided it was a good time to add Spock to the mix. For this one, like the Kirk drawing, I did all of his skin in […]

Drawing of Sean Connery as James Bond

After finishing the Indiana Jones drawing, I decided to return to drawing something from scratch and worked on this image of Sean Connery as James Bond. I’d wanted to draw him, but didn’t want to draw one of the most commonly seen iconic images; there were enough drawings of those. […]

This drawing has kind of an interesting story. I started it on February 5, 2009 and worked on it for a total of five different times during that month before abandoning it. I really didn’t like how it looked and I didn’t like feeling like I was wasting time on […]

(finished product, April 27, 2013) This drawing has an interesting story to me… I started it in my sketchbook on December 30, 2002 and apparently only worked on it the following day before never coming back to it. (Although I remember working on it on a break at my job […]

Drawing of Eva Green (Vesper in Casino Royale)

One of the things I really liked about the James Bond reboot Casino Royale was his vulnerability in falling for Vesper (and how that all inevitably lead to him becoming “James Bond”). I really liked Eva Green in the role, so I decided to give a drawing of her a […]
