While I was a lot younger than the characters on screen at the time, I did grow up watching Saved By The Bell, and who didn’t love Tiffani Amber Thiessen as Kelly Kapowski? In more recent years, I loved her role in the show White Collar. I’m wanting to improve […]

Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as John Watson Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I love the BBC show Sherlock and have done a couple drawings of these guys before (several years ago now), but I’ve never drawn them in color. The reference photo I used for this drawing not only was saturated in blue colors, but had the guys standing further apart. I […]
Han and Leia (Harrison Ford & Carrie Fisher) from “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Sigh. It’s hard to believe Carrie Fisher is really gone… I use my iPad as a way to display the source photo I’m drawing so I can look at the image and then try to replicate it on the paper nearby (by eyeballing it). Anyway, I keep a folder of […]
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in “La La Land” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Amy and I used to have date nights almost every week when our preschooler son would stay over at his grandparents. But with him in school now, date nights are few and far in between. Right after Christmas this past year, we had one rare night out and I decided […]
Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) “Star Trek” Freehand Colored Pencil Portrait
I grew up watching Star Trek (in addition to Star Wars. We can like BOTH, people.), but I especially liked Star Trek: The Next Generation as a pre-teen. I’ve done a couple drawings of original Star Trek characters before, but never anyone from TNG. Picard marks the first… (Although, fun […]
Evangeline Lilly Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
Sometimes I see a photo and just really feel inspired to try to draw it. I loved Evangeline Lilly in the show LOST and was honored when she shared one of my previous drawings on her social media channels. But, truth be told, I haven’t been completely satisfied with any […]
Diego Luna as Cassian Andor in “Star Wars Rogue One” Colored Pencil Drawing
I loved Star Wars: Rogue One and wanted to do a portrait of Cassian. This was definitely a tricky one to work on.

Abigail Spencer Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I absolutely love the new TV show Timeless. Abigail Spencer is one of the main characters, playing a historian traveling through time. And when I wanted to draw her, it was tough to decide on a picture to draw, but I liked this one. The angle was definitely a challenge, […]
