I don’t feel like I’m very creative. I’ll just say it. I enjoy taking photos and making drawings out of them, but if you ask me to draw something from memory or paint some kind of unique imagery, I’ll struggle and the end result will look like a really bad […]

Darth Vader Freehand Colored Pencil and Graphite Portrait Drawing
Sometimes it can be pretty hard to decide on an image of a person or character to draw. It’s one thing to see an image and think “I want to try drawing that!” and another to know who or what you want to turn into a drawing, but unsure of […]
Emily Blunt as Rita in “Edge of Tomorrow” Freehand Graphite Drawing
After seeing “Edge of Tomorrow,” I was inspired to draw Miss Emily Blunt. I actually attempted reproducing an image from a movie poster she’s on for the movie but I couldn’t quite get her profile just right. So, a few months later, I tried to tackle a movie still. It […]
Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski as Chuck and Sarah from TV’s “Chuck” Freehand Graphite Drawing
After getting addicted to the TV show “Chuck” this year and binge-watching all 5 seasons on NetFlix, I knew I wanted to draw Chuck, and not just Chuck, but Chuck with Sarah. It’s always a challenge to freehand draw two people in one image and get proportions right, but I’m […]

Scrat “Ice Age” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
When going through some old papers, I found an unfinished drawing of Scrat from the first Ice Age film (so you know it’s OLD!). I decided, while on this colored pencil kick, to finish it. Above is the finished, below is the state I originally rediscovered it in. Purchase link […]
Yoda “Empire Strikes Back” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Continuing to practice more with colored pencil, I decided to work on Yoda from my second favorite film of all time, The Empire Strikes Back. This one was certainly a challenge, but a rewarding experience regardless. I used all Prismacolor colored pencils and a little graphite to get in some […]
