Another draw to attend the Boston Fan Expo was the chance to meet Cary Elwes in the flesh. I’ve been a fan since The Princess Bride, but his appearance in films like Twister, Liar Liar, A Christmas Carol and even the TV show Psych have only cemented my fandom. Knowing […]

Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing for Cover Art
For as long as I’ve loved music, I’ve loved making mixtapes, mix CDs and playlists. For several years now, my music website – Jesusfreakhideout.com – has been releasing independent music samplers – completely FREE to download. For the latest one, I decided to draw Chris Pratt as Peter Quill / […]
Charlize Theron Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Some drawings just take time to finish. This is one of those drawings that I started at one point, set aside, and worked on other things. I’d occasionally pick it up again, but it remained unfinished for a long time. I finally just hit a point where I needed to […]
Steve Carell as Michael Scott Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
If I had to pick one, I think my all-time favorite TV show would be the US version of The Office. At times, it captures office life quite well, but it’s the characters I love coming back to. It’s just a funny show that’s often lighthearted even when it’s a […]
Balki and Larry “Perfect Strangers” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
One show I absolutely loved while growing up was the comedy, Perfect Strangers. Recently I revisited the entire series, binge-watching it from start to finish, and it inspired me to attempt a portrait of the two cousins. I used a mixture of marker (as a base) and colored pencil, and […]
Evangeline Lilly as Wasp (Autographed!) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Another selling point for our trek to Boston was to meet actress Evangeline Lilly — who is most famous for her role as Wasp in Ant-Man and the Wasp and as Kate Austen in the show LOST. Evangeline has also carved out a career for herself as a childrens’ author, […]
Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcom in “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” and T-Rex, Velociraptor (Autographed!) Freehand Drawing
Confession time… I actually like The Lost World: Jurassic Park. No, I know it’s not as good as the original. And I know it’s not a great movie, but I do really enjoy it. And it came out while I was in high school and I have fond memories of […]
Jenna Fischer Colored Pencil Sketch on Toned Tan Paper
As a response to the warm reception some Office fans gave me regarding my Office themed drawings, I decided to do a “quicker” colored pencil drawing of Jenna Fischer (who played Pam on The Office) and share it with them. The original drawing – which was done freehand on toned […]
Gal Gadot (with Fish Lips!) Freehand Graphite Drawing
Typically, if I’m in a time crunch one night and don’t have a lot of drawing time – or I’m feeling completely unsure of what to draw (and just want to try to capture the beauty of a pretty face), I’ll end up turning to a “stack” of inspirational photographs […]
Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars Graphite and Colored Pencil Portrait
To finish – at least for now – my young & old series for Star Wars characters, I set out to draw Obi-Wan Kenobi. The interesting part about this one, was that it was the only character who was played by two different people. But I definitely liked how it […]
Zoe Saldana Freehand Graphite Drawing
In an effort to do more sketches more often of various people, a subject like the beautiful Zoe Saldana is an easy one to gravitate toward. This drawing was done freehand (like the others) with graphite pencils. Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/drawing-print-of-zoe-saldana-guardians-of-the-galaxy-avengers-avatar
Ernie Hudson as Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing (Autographed!)
The main selling point of going to Chiller on my birthday was to meet an original Ghostbuster himself, Ernie Hudson. The original movie is my favorite film of all-time and has been a favorite since I was quite young. To meet Ernie was a real treat! To make the day […]
Steven Weber and Tim Daly from TV’s “Wings” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing – Autographed!
Meeting Richard Dreyfuss was a unique experience for me — meeting a celebrity and getting his signature on an original piece of artwork I’d done. I’ve had drawings signed before, but usually they were as prints. I wasn’t ever sure I’d want one of my original drawings inked up. Last […]
