I started a sketch before this one — and a new detailed pencil portrait — but put those on hold once I picked up my first-ever pad of black paper. I keep a folder of images on my iPad of ones that I may some day like to draw. […]

Colored Pencil Sketch of Rocket from “Guardians of the Galaxy”
Continuing a run of sketches on toned paper in quicker bursts of time, I opted for this Colored Pencil Sketch of Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy. Love the film. Love the character, and I thought I’d give this one a shot. It was a lot of fun. The original […]
Colored Pencil Sketch of Darth Vader in Star Wars
The same night I finished Ron Perlman as Vincent, I decided to try to punch out a quick sketch. Less than 2 hours later (with some of that time being spent drawing this while watching TV), I had this Darth Vader colored pencil drawing. It’s on 9×12 Toned Gray paper. […]
Graphite Pencil Drawing of Ron Perlman as Vincent from TV’s “Beauty and the Beast”
I don’t take a lot of commission work mostly due to the time it takes to do a portrait — and so I also don’t necessarily want to draw certain pictures people want me to do. But this one was pretty interesting. I remember my mom being into “Beauty and […]
Colored Pencil Sketch of Henry Cavill as Superman in “Man of Steel”
I took a stab next at a drawing of Henry Cavill as Superman one night… but after failing to nail a different pose properly. I scrapped it and went with this one instead. Mostly happy with the result… Etsy links for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/234428182/drawing-print-of-henry-cavill-as
Colored Pencil Sketch of Emmet Brickowski from “The LEGO Movie”
This was pretty fun too — trying to capture Emmet from a screenshot from “The LEGO Movie.” This one was just a couple hours one night while watching TV. Prints are available upon request!
Colored Pencil Sketch of Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter in “Captain America: The First Avenger”
My third attempt at doing a full, quick sketch in one night went to Peggy Carter from Captain America: The First Avenger — a character that’s been making waves on TV in the show “Agent Carter.” This one was pretty fun, but tricky to get the likeness down quickly.
Colored Pencil Sketch of Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen / Arrow in TV’s “Arrow”
The next night, I worked on the Toned Gray paper for the first time. I decided to try a new pose of Arrow and see if I couldn’t just improve on the other likeness. I liked the vibe of this pose too. I used Prismacolor and Faber-Castell colored pencils […]
Colored Pencil Sketch of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins in “The Hobbit” Trilogy
While working on a commission piece and also while working on another portrait, I felt inspired to visit Blick and get some different papers to experiment on. Also, I wanted to try my hand at some quick original drawings that I could work on in a few hours and sell […]
Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing of Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen / Arrow in TV’s “Arrow”
I think it was soon after Season 2 finished airing that I watched Season 1 of “Arrow” on NetFlix and then Season 2 on Blu-Ray before the recent 3rd season began. While the first season was a little TOO rife with teen-style drama, by now the show is in full-fledged […]
Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing of Chris Pratt as Peter Quill / Star Lord in “Guardians of the Galaxy”
After finishing Drax, and after having re-watched the film with some friends who hadn’t seen it yet, there was a shot of Pratt as Star-Lord in the final scene that just screamed to be drawn. So I loaded it up on my iPad, took a screenshot and used it as […]
