It was hard not to love the new Wonder Woman film, especially Gal Gadot and her performance. I drew Gal as WW once before, but I wanted to do a newer, more flattering pose. For this one, I used marker in the background and then went over it with colored […]

Kate Beckinsale Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
I tend to start some drawings and then only work on them intermittently over a course of a few months. This latest Kate Beckinsale attempt is one of those. I haven’t been able to draw her in a way I’m happy with, so this is yet another attempt. I don’t […]
Jimmy Stewart Freehand Graphite Drawing
How can you not love Jimmy Stewart? From The Philadelphia Story to It’s a Wonderful Life, he’s just a great actor from a bygone era. This one took a while to finish, but it was completely done in graphite pencil. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/drawing-print-of-jimmy-stewart
Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen in “Game of Thrones” Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Commissioned Drawing
I’ve never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, but this was ordered as a commission piece by a customer for a friend of theirs who has become a faithful supporter of my work. I was thrilled to work on this for them. 🙂 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/print-of-emilia-clarke-as-daenerys-targaryen-in-game-of-thrones-colored-pencil-and-graphite-drawing-85-x-11

Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow with Davy Jones and the Black Pearl Freehand Pencil Drawing
I originally intended this piece to just be a colored pencil portrait of Johnny Depp, but with the Black Pearl worked into it as well. However, I had a hard time working the Black Pearl into the image in a way that wouldn’t influence people to make jokes about… the […]
Marty McFly and the Delorean from “Back to the Future” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
To complete the unofficial trilogy of heroes and their vehicles, I decided to do a full color Marty McFly with his Delorean. And, as I was working on it, decided to put the clock tower in in the background as well.

Olga Kurylenko Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
This one was a bit of a challenge to pull back and try detail a little smaller. I liked the image and I wanted to give it a try… and when it was finished, I decided to add a little color by splashing some purple colored pencil off to the […]
Rachel Weisz Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I’ve drawn Rachel before, but I haven’t been satisfied with how those drawings have turned out. I liked the source photo for this one — especially with the red in it — and was inspired to take a stab at it.

Chris Pratt as Star-Lord with the Milano (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Continuing with an unofficial series of heroes with their rides, I followed Jyn with this colored pencil drawing of Chris Pratt as Star-Lord / Peter Quill from “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2” and his spaceship, The Milano. This one was drawn entirely in colored pencil. Fun fact – I […]
Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso in “Star Wars: Rogue One” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I get really frustrated with myself with my work. I may like something after I finish it, but I usually find something wrong with it and then don’t like it anymore. That’s what happened with my previous Jyn drawing. This one… I wanted to do something different and try to […]
Steven Curtis Chapman Freehand Graphite Portrait Drawing
I’ve been inspired by and a fan of Steven Curtis Chapman since the early 90’s. His music got me through high school and has always been instrumental in my walk (and struggles) as a Christian. When I was first learning how to draw people, Steven was one of the many […]
Stana Katic Freehand Colored Pencil Portrait Drawing
Stana is a joy to draw. I tend to keep a folder on my iPad of photos I may someday like to try to draw, and this was one that kept coming up. It turns out that I had completely forgotten that it was an image that had been requested […]
Abigail Spencer Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
With the new TV show Timeless being a refreshing addition to the small screen, I felt compelled to attempt another Abigail Spencer portrait. For this one, I tried something completely new for me. I put down a layer of gray marker before going in with the graphite details. I didn’t […]
