I’m definitely a fan of the show Castle. I found a promo photo of Nathan and Stana in this flirty pose and thought it’d be fun to do in black and white with just her lips, nail polish and ring in color with a lipstick mark on Rick’s face. This […]

Freehand Pencil Drawing of Tommy Lee Jones in “Men In Black”
I’ve been a fan of Tommy Lee Jones since “The Fugitive,” but “Men In Black” cemented that for me. I’d drawn Tommy Lee from “U.S. Marshals” way back in high school and after revisiting the first MIB, thought it’d be fun to give him-as-K a proper treatment. This is completely […]
Graphite and Colored Pencil Freehand Drawing of Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in “Lost in Translation”
I loved the subtle relationship between Bob and Charlotte in “Lost in Translation.” This one was challenging (especially Scarlett’s tilted head), but fun to do – especially when adding color in with regular graphite pencil.

Graphite and Colored Pencil of Joel and Clem from “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”
In the middle of working on other projects, while watching my Clean Films edit of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” I felt inspired to work on a new piece with Joel and Clem. (I actually did one for Amy around 2006 – i think it was even like 16 […]
Graphite Freehand Drawing of Natalie Portman
The latest pretty face I decided to draw was Natalie Portman. It’s entirely graphite (using 8B to get the black areas) and done freehand on 9×12 bristol paper. I want to keep pushing the photorealism, so this was a nice exercise in practicing… Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/246009529/drawing-print-of-natalie-portman
Colored Pencil Drawing of Kylo Ren from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”
I don’t typically draw characters before a movie comes out and I have some kind of appreciation or connection to them, but as I get more and more pumped for the new Star Wars film, once this image debuted, I felt the urge to work on a colored pencil drawing […]
Chris Pratt as Owen Grady in “Jurassic World” with Blue the Velociraptor
It’s fun when things turn out different than what you plan for. Once again, the freehand approach bit me in the butt a bit as I set out to draw Pratt as Owen Grady from Jurassic World while sitting on his motorcycle, also leaving me with a ton of white […]
Pencil Portrait of Anne Hathaway
After almost any project, I tend to just feel the need to do a palette cleanser of a straight-forward pencil drawing. And since I try to draw every night to practice my craft, I want to push detail… and draw pretty things in the process. 🙂 After attempting a colored […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters on Black Artagain Paper
Just for fun one night, I decided to attempt a colored pencil drawing of one of my all-time favorite cinematic villains… the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. And while Hollywood is currently desecrating the original film for the sake of milking the franchise for more money, I still had fun drawing […]
Colored Pencil Marty McFly on Black Artagain Paper
If you know me, you’ll know that while drawing was my first love, music is probably my second love. I started a Christian music website in 1996 as a sophomore in high school on a little free web page on Angelfire.com. In 1998, the site moved to Jesusfreakhideout.com where it […]
