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 […]
Year: 2015
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… Purchase link […]
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!
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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
With Guardians of the Galaxy being quite the cinematic phenomenon, people are really wanting “Guardians” themed drawings lately. So, to round out my collection of “Guardians,” I approached this drawing of Drax, played by WWE wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista, using graphite pencil […]
After completing solo Eva, I proceeded to attempt to finish the latest Bond/Vesper portrait. Like the solo Eva drawing, this is done with all graphite pencils. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/drawing-print-of-eva-green-and-daniel-craig-as-vepser-and-james-bond-in-casino-royale
Sometimes after drawing dudes one after another, a guy’s just gotta spend some time looking at a pretty face. 🙂 I’ve drawn Eva Green before — technically twice already (one solo, one with Bond), but I’ve never really been super […]
To round out the series, last but certainly not least, is Winston. Not only is Winston Zeddemore an underrated Ghostbuster (who has a much more fleshed-out character in the animated series), but Ernie Hudson’s just an all-around cool guy. (He […]
Like Egon before him, this one proved to be a huge struggle for me. First of all, I wanted a different-than-usual pose of Bill as Peter, and I wanted animated Peter to match the character well. I was drawn to […]
The second in the series and first to get finished (and maybe my favorite of the 4) is Ray and Ray. I took a screenshot from Ghostbusters to get this portrait of Dan and used it as a source for […]
