Here’s another freehand pencil portrait that took forever to finish. Again, if you’ve read some of my blogs, you’ll know I tend to randomly start drawings that seem to interest me in the moment, even if I know it won’t necessarily be a crowd-pleaser, so to speak. This is a […]
Month: July 2022
I’ll Be at Dunder Con at the Meadowlands in NJ, August 6 – 7, 2022!
I will be vending my second event ever this August 6-7 at Dunder Con at the Meadowlands Expo Center in NJ! I will have a table there selling prints of my drawings themed for The Office, and will have some original drawings (the actual pencil drawings) on hand to purchase […]
McKenna Grace Pencil Portrait with dog Gizmo
In an attempt to broaden my subjects, I decided to take a crack at young actress McKenna Grace with her dog Gizmo. I loved her in the movie Gifted and was looking forward to seeing her in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, so I thought I’d try to honor the future Phoebe Spengler […]
Black Widow Movie Colored Pencil Drawing
With a new Black Widow movie (finally) out, I decided to do a new freehand colored pencil drawing of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. I love her in this role! Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1040952216/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black
Han Solo Colored Pencil Compilation Cover Art
Now for something a little different… I have always loved making mixtape cover art on the computer, but when my website JFH started doing compilations in 2012 to showcase indie artists, I had fun drawing the covers or taking photos for the covers for each one. For Vol. 10 of […]
Evangeline Lilly Drawing
Yep, I drew Evie again. I’ve said before I tend to have long days and by the time I sit down to draw at night, I just want to start something new. I really liked this pose of hers, with the hair up and unusually styled. Etsy link for […]
Humphrey Bogart Pencil Portrait
I love classic movies and with me binging a lot of Humphrey Bogart movies last year for the first time, I was inspired to draw the suave fellow. I drew this one freehand with various grades of graphite pencils.

Jim and Pam at Reception in The Office Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s yet another Jim and Pam of The Office freehand colored pencil drawing. I did this one in preparation for The Office Super Fan Festival in Scranton in October 2021, and the original of this drawing actually sold there! 🙂 Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1029982454/jim-and-pam-at-the-reception-desk-from
Superman (Henry Cavill) from Zack Snyder’s Justice League Colored Pencil Drawing
One of my best friends is a huge Superman fan, so I drew this freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Supes from Zack Snyder’s 2021 cut of “Justice League” as a surprise for him for his birthday. 🙂 Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1037349203/black-suit-superman-henry-cavill
Emily Blunt Pencil Drawing
I’m always fascinated by how some realist artists can draw water. Not too many photos inspire me to give the look a shot, but this one definitely did. Emily is awesome and she’s got such a unique – and challenging – face to draw. (And she’s just lovely!) This was […]
Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing of Jim and Pam at Niagara – Autographed by Jenna!
As an Office buff, this has quickly become one of my favorite pieces I’ve done. I even took the risk to mail it to OfficeFunkoPops.com for a private signing with Jenna Fischer to get her autograph on it. 🙂 Now, I love it even more. I drew this one freehand with […]
Margot Robbie Freehand Graphite Portrait
This was an interesting one to do, too, given the leathery/plasticky material of her body suit. Still a fun one!

Kate Mara Sketch
In 2018, when I was working on a series of quicker sketches, I drew this one of Kate Mara. It was fun, and I captured some timelapse footage from the drawing session. Later, I decided to give it a bit more of a finished look, but it’s still kind of […]
Katee Sackhoff Freehand Graphite Drawing
I’m always looking to expand my variety of subjects for drawing, and after seeing Katee Sackhoff on The Mandalorian, I thought I’d draw her as well. As usual, I drew this freehand with graphite pencils.

Falcon (Anthony Mackie) from Falcon and the Winter Soldier Colored Pencil Drawing
The Marvel movies for Captain America finally gave me a favorite superhero with Chris Evan’s portrayal of him. It was sad to see him hang up the shield in Avengers: Endgame, but he was given an appropriate send-off. With Disney Plus’s Falcon and the Winter Soldier TV series, the shield […]
Jennifer Aniston Graphite Drawing
I love the source image I used for this – such a fun pose. I’m definitely a fan of Jennifer Aniston – especially as Rachel on Friends – and I just thought this was too fun not to attempt. 🙂 Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1006294058/jennifer-aniston-pencil-drawing-print-85
Gal Gadot Freehand Graphite Drawing
Someone else I just love drawing is Gal Gadot. She’s beautiful and she also makes some really fun expressions to draw. Ha. I drew this freehand with graphite pencils.

Ana de Armas Freehand Graphite Drawing
Speaking of random images that I thought might make good drawings, I love the source photo of actress Ana de Armas making a face. So cute! She caught my attention in Knives Out and I also loved her in No Time to Die. I drew this freehand with various grades […]
Freehand Graphite Drawing of Dwight and Michael in The Office
“This is the worst!” haha I thought it’d be fun to attempt this wacky expression of Michael Scott’s (Steve Carell) face in an episode of “The Office.” I drew this freehand, from a reference shot from the show, in all graphite pencils. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1011158319/dwight-and-michael-from-the-office-rainn
Signed Colored Pencil and Marker Optimus Prime Drawing
I grew up on The Transformers, so when I got a chance to order an autograph from the original voice actor of my childhood hero Optimus Prime, I had to take it — especially since the actor is in his 70’s now, and who knows if I’ll ever get a […]
Jim and Pam of The Office Graphite Drawing
As a huge fan of The Office, I do enjoy making new art for the fanbase – they’re also so very supportive, too — probably one of the most supportive fanbases I’ve ever encountered. So, really, it’s a joy to make art for my favorite TV show and share it […]
Gisele Bundchen Graphite Drawing
In case you haven’t read previous posts I’ve written, I tend to keep a folder of images that, at some point, I thought “That might make a good drawing!” so when I just want to start something new on a whim, or I don’t know what to draw, I tend […]
Freehand Graphite WandaVision Drawing
With all the love for the quirky Marvel show “WandaVision,” I decided to do a pencil drawing of Wanda and Vision in the classic TV appearance. It’s a great show and one of the better Marvel shows on Disney Plus. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/979509424/wandavision-drawing-print-featuring
