Galaxy Quest is SO good. It’s so underrated. And Missi Pyle is just too cute. When I had the chance to meet her at a convention, I knew I wanted to jump at it. I decided to draw her as her alien character Laliari in Galaxy Quest, embracing Tony Shalhoub’s […]

E.T. and Elliott Henry Thomas Autographed Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
In anticipation of meeting E.T.’s Henry Thomas at a convention, I decided to draw E.T. and Elliott for Henry to sign for us. Growing up, it was my one aunt’s faaaavorite movie. So much so, she always had a bowl of Reese’s Pieces out on the counter at her annual picnic. […]
Emilia Clarke Freehand Graphite Drawing
I haven’t seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, but I wanted to draw Emilia Clarke — probably after seeing her in Solo. But also to expand my drawing subjects. I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. Link to purchase the original drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/emilia-clarke-original-pencil-drawing-9-x-12 Link to purchase prints of […]

Colored Pencil Drawing of Mary Poppins (with Michael & Jane) – Autographed by “Jane”
At the same convention I failed to meet Terry Farrell at, Jane Banks’ Karen Dotrice was in attendance. My wife is a HUGE Mary Poppins fan, so I drew this for her in anticipation of meeting Karen – who was a delight. Karen playfully refused to believe I drew this, […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Dax from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
I loved Terry Farrell as Jadzia Dax in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as a kid. I drew this in anticipation of hopefully meeting her at a convention a couple years ago, but when we went – sort of on the later side – she had already left the con […]
Ana de Armas Freehand Graphite Drawing
Actress Ana de Armas is the latest celebrity to fall victim to me drawing her a couple times too often. However, people seem to enjoy seeing new pieces of Ana popping up from time to time, so at least I know there’s an audience for my musing.

Hopper and Eleven “Stranger Things” Freehand Graphite Drawing
This one gets ya in the feels. As a fan of Stranger Things, there was so much about this moment that made me want to draw it – the tenderness, the joy and emotion… she had thought she’d never see him again and here her adopted father was (and after getting […]
Eva Green Freehand Graphite Drawing Portrait
I loved Eva Green in Casino Royale – one of my favorite movies – and I’ve always really enjoyed trying to draw her. This one – despite the mind-numbing shirt details – was a fun one because of her facial expression and sass. 
I love drawing wacky faces from […]
Benedict Cumberbatch “Doctor Strange” Commissioned Freehand Graphite Drawing
Here is a commissioned freehand graphite drawing I did a couple years ago of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. The client liked the dissheveled look of Cumberbatch in this candid photo and wanted me to draw it… so here it is!

Kate Beckinsale Freehand Graphite Drawing Portrait
Speaking of falling in love with actresses based on their roles — how about Kate Beckinsale in Serendipity! I know she probably has become more known for slaying vampires, but to me, she’ll always be the object of John Cusack’s affection in Serendipity. I drew this one freehand (they all […]
Jennifer Connelly Freehand Graphite Drawing
Ever since The Rocketeer, it was hard not to pretty much be in love with Jennifer Connelly. Every once in a while, I like to take a stab at a new drawing of Jennifer, and this was my 2022 attempt. I drew it freehand in graphite pencils. Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/jennifer-connelly-the-rocketeer-hulk-top-gun-maverick-etc-drawing-print-2022 […]
