Data (Brent Spiner) Star Trek Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
As a kid, I remember watching Star Trek: The Next Generation faithfully week to week. As an adult, I decided to revisit the show and binge it from start to finish (then the movies, then Picard). I loved revisiting it – and not missing an episode. Data stood out as my […]
Three Stooges Freehand Graphite Drawing
Besides growing up on the Three Stooges, my son actually went through a serious Stooges phase – especially after getting sick and being couch-ridden for a few days, all he ingested was one Stooges short after another. haha So I drew this one with him in mind. Freehand graphite […]
Yvonne Strahovski Freehand Graphite Drawing
I loved Yvonne Strahovski in the show Chuck. (Guess we’re never getting that oft-talked about Chuck movie, huh?) I know she’s since made it bigger in Handmaid’s Tale (never seen it), but she’ll always be Sarah Walker to me. Also, side note – I was really happy with how this freehand graphite drawing of […]
Jennifer Aniston Freehand Graphite Drawing
Another fun one to draw is Jennifer Aniston. I drew this one freehand in graphite pencils. My wife and I still like watching Friends reruns — so Jen will always be Rachel Green to me.

Indiana Jones “Dial of Destiny” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
After they’d released some of the first images of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones again, I felt inspired to draw him back in the hat. While the movie ended up being a mixed bag, it was still kind of nice seeing Indy back at it. I drew this one freehand […]

Angelina Jolie Freehand Graphite Drawing
Angelina Jolie is always a fun one to draw. Due to her popularity, I’ve been inspired to draw her more often. I was surprised at how quickly the original drawing of this one sold, too.

Captain Carter Hayley Atwell Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I definitely have a soft spot for Hayley Atwell, but I’m also a Captain America fan. For Marvel’s “What If” animated series, they imagined what might have been if Peggy Carter had gotten the super soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers. So for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of […]

Missi Pyle Galaxy Quest Autographed Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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. […]

Colored Pencil Drawing of Mary Poppins (with Michael & Jane) – Autographed by “Jane”

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. Link for […]

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 […]

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 […]
