My third-ever pop-up shop is taking place on Sunday, December 14th at Michael’s Arts & Crafts in Whitehall, PA from 1pm to 5pm! Come see me! I’ll have prints, original drawings, bookmarks, stickers, magnets and books on sale during that […]
I had the ever-so-brief pleasure of meeting Michael J. Fox in 2018 at Boston Fan Expo, but it was for a photo op, not an autograph session. At a Philly con, I decided to get him to sign my drawing… […]
Knowing I’d be able to meet Tom Wilson at a comic-con in Philly, I did a relatively quick colored pencil and marker drawing (on toned tan paper) of Tom as Biff in Back to the Future. 🙂 He was a […]
This was another one of those drawings that took forever to finish. I forget exactly why, but I kept shelving it and coming back to it later. I believe it was a candid photo Karen Gillan had posted of her […]
With the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, I thought I might do a Shuri-Black Panther drawing with a tribute to Chadwick Boseman baked in. I did this one freehand with mostly colored pencil, and some colored pencil for her fallen […]
After seeing her in the Shazam! movies, I thought I’d draw Grace Caroline Currey – AKA Grace Fulton (she was good in Fall, too). Here’s a freehand graphite drawing I did of her – my first time drawing her. Purchase link […]
In high school, some of my first decent portrait drawings were actually of Leonardo DiCaprio from Titanic. But I never drew Jack and Rose together. So, in 2023, I decided to do a new portrait drawing of Jack and Rose together, […]
I chose to draw Picard last in my young/old STTNG series because I had drawn Picard once before on his own – and wanted to draw some new characters for a change. Hope you guys enjoyed this series! It was […]
Getting down to the final characters I needed to complete my young/old series, we have Gates McFadden’s Dr. Crusher. Now, just like with LeVar, I had the chance to also meet her at the same con, but she also left […]
What ST TNG fan doesn’t love Geordi! He was next on my list for the young/old series. Sadly, I brought this to a convention in Rhode Island in 2023 to get signed by him, but I got stuck in lines for […]
Continuing right along with the Next Generation young/old project, we have Deanna Troi in Picard and the original show. 🙂 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/deanna-troi-from-picard-and-star-trek-tng-marina-sirtis-colored-pencil-drawing-p
Data has to be my favorite character in Star Trek. Maybe it’s his loyalty, his desire to be more human, his innocence, his tenacity, his unintentional humor… his cat, Spot — or all the above. But Brent Spiner’s Data is […]
My buddy Adam and I went to an event to meet a couple of the Back to the Future actors so I drew this freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Harry Waters Jr. as Marvin Berry (on toned gray […]
Knowing ahead of time I was going to be at a convention where Richard Young – who’d played “Fedora” in one of my all-time favorite movies, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I whipped up this freehand colored pencil drawing on […]
The next in my young/old Star Trek TNG series is Worf. I was really happy with how this one turned out, too! Picard Worf is done in graphite, with younger Worf in colored pencil.

The story behind this one is kind of funny, silly, and embarassing… So actress Stana Katic posted the source photo I used to draw this and I figured it was her — especially because the eyes kind of look like […]
After the young/old series I did with Star Wars, I decided that – while rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation – it might be fun to draw the cast young from the show and older in the final season of Picard, […]
Truth be told, any drawing with more than one person to capture a likeness for is daunting to me… but 1984 Ghostbusters is still my favorite movie and I love drawing stuff for it. So for this one, I am the client. […]
This one hurts. I drew this one months before Matthew Perry’s passing, and it stings to see now. I do hold the original drawing close to my heart, but it hits bittersweet now. Rest in peace, Matthew… Purchase link for […]
I’ve grown to love Friends. And as frustrating as the Ross & Rachel storyline was, you still gotta love those two — and I knew I wanted to draw them together. Here’s a freehand graphite portrait of David Schwimmer and Jennifer […]
I know she’s made a name for herself because of the Fast & Furious films, but I actually really liked Jordana Brewster’s role in the short-lived (and criminally under-rated) TV series for Lethal Weapon. I drew this one freehand in graphite […]
Expanding my subjects further, here’s my first attempt at drawing Gemma Chan – in that slightly looser sketch-style that is still closer to finished than most of my sketches, but its looser in the hair and clothing especially. Do you […]
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is still one of my favorite movies, and I knew I wanted to do a proper colored pencil drawing of the pair (after having done a rougher portrait some years ago). I do like how this one […]
I love Evangeline Lilly and Paul Rudd in the Ant-Man (and Avengers) films — and although Quantumania was wildly disappointing, as soon as I saw this shot in the movie, I knew I wanted to try to draw it. Such a great moment. […]
Here’s another freehand graphite drawing of Italian model Nicole Vincenti. 🙂 Purchase link for the original drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/nicole-vincenti-sadie-gray-graphite-pencil-drawing-side-profile-not-a-print-9×12 Purchase link for prints of the drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/nicole-vincenti-sadie-gray-graphite-pencil-drawing-side-profile-print-85-x-11
This one may sit somewhere between a sketch and a more refined drawing, but I do recall giving this one a lighter, rougher approach. I drew this one of Ana de Armas freehand in graphite pencil. Purchase link for the […]
Rose Byrne is another one I’d never drawn before. I probably thought that the movie Knowing was the first time I’d seen her in a film before, but I believe it was most likely her little cameo in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones […]
Knives Out put Ana de Armas on my radar and I’ve been a fan since. I loved her short scene in No Time to Die and knew I needed to try to capture her elegance in a drawing from that movie. I […]
I had never drawn Mila Kunis before, but knew I had to when I found this source image — I really like how it turned out! Purchase link for the original drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/mila-kunis-original-drawing-not-a-print-9×12 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/mila-kunis-graphite-drawing-print-85-x-11
It’s no secret I’ve done A LOT of drawings based on the US version of The Office. One, because it’s my favorite TV show, but two because of the several conventions dedicated to The Office fandom where I attended as a vendor. […]
