Graphite Portrait of Salma Hayek

How can you not love Salma Hayek? This was a unique pose to draw – and a fun one. I used all graphite, drawn freehand, on 9×12 Strathmore Art smooth Bristol paper. Etsy link to purchase the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/777421510/salma-hayek-original-pencil-drawing

Eiza Gonzalez Freehand Timelapse Sketch

I figured I’d change things up a bit with a graphite “sketch” portrait of model/actress Eiza Gonzalez and ended up recording the whole thing via timelapse in a couple different sessions and then stitched it all together. You can watch the video below: Etsy link for the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/785864987/eiza-gonzalez-original-pencil-drawing […]

Freehand Graphite Drawing of Dwight and Jim in “The Office”

The Office fanbase has been some of the most encouraging and supportive of my work. And with it being my favorite show, it makes it easier to want to make more new artwork based around some of my favorite characters. This one featuring Jim giving the his classic look just […]

Updated Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) Graphite Drawing

(new updated version) In 2011, after I started getting back into drawing regularly, I did a freehand graphite drawing of Tony Shalhoub as the OCD detective, Adrian Monk. Over time, though, I felt pretty unimpressed by the work I’d done on it, so I decided, after rewatching the show again […]

Colored Pencil “Seinfeld” Group

I’m definitely a fan of the show Seinfeld and Jerry’s standup comedy. While this foursome were pretty terrible people on the show, the show didn’t take itself seriously, making it pretty entertaining to watch. I drew Jerry once by himself and wasn’t happy with how it turned out, but I wanted […]

Colored Pencil Drawing of Cobie Smulders

In trying to find new and different people to draw, I thought I’d draw S.H.I.E.L.D’s own Maria Hill – AKA Cobie Smulders – but as herself. I’ve never watched How I Met Your Mother (beyond the pilot episode), but I enjoy Cobie as an actress. This photo is a little steamy […]

Stana Katic Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing

I am #sorrynotsorry about my love for drawing Stana Katic. Part of it is that I just really enjoy drawing her, and another part is that sometimes I’m just not satisfied enough with the previous drawing. But, for the most part, I just love drawing her. I became a fan […]

Updated Juliet from LOST Elizabeth Mitchell Drawing

I forget what exactly inspired me to rework/update my Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet from LOST drawing, but for a long time, I knew the drawing could be better. So, for these changes, I didn’t redraw the drawing, but took the original drawing and spent more time on adding details and […]

Reese Witherspoon Freehand Pencil Drawing

How cute is Reese Witherspoon?! Like, seriously?? Ha. I saw the source photo I used to draw this drawing online and knew I had to draw it. I’m pretty sure it ended up being one of those long-running projects where I worked on it a little bit here and there […]

Adrian Monk Freehand Pencil Drawing

After binge rewatching the entire Monk series once again, I felt inspired to try to draw Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk again. So this one was done freehand with all graphite pencils.

Updated Freehand Graphite Jenna Fischer Portrait

Speaking of updated drawings, I think I first reworked this portrait of Jenna Fischer before attempting the colored pencil one of her and John Krasinski. I just wanted to add more contrast with her hair and eyes, and try to fix some areas that could use improvements. Etsy link for […]

I’m regularly discontented with my work. And even in instances like this when I attempt to update an older drawing, I’m often still not quite able to get it to where I truly want it. I had revisited my Jenna Fischer drawing some time before this one, and revisited my […]

Ana de Armas Freehand Graphite Portrait

After seeing her in Knives Out, I became an instant fan of Ana de Armas. She was just lovable in it. I found this cute pose online and thought it’d make for a great portrait. I drew this one freehand in all graphite pencil on Strathmore Art smooth Bristol paper in […]

Dwight and Angela in The Office Wedding Freehand Graphite Portrait

Expanding on my love for the US version of The Office, I decided to tackle another romantic image, this time involving Angela and Dwight during the series finale at their wedding. This was, as usual, drawn freehand with graphite pencil on Strathmore Art smooth Bristol paper in 9″ x 12″. Etsy […]

Michael & Holly from “The Office” Freehand Graphite Portrait

As a huge fan of the US version of The Office, it’s too tempting to keep drawing iconic moments from the show (plus the fanbase is pretty supportive!) Although the last season Steve Carell performed the character Michael Scott is a bittersweet one, it’s nice to see Michael finally find […]

Redrawn Ray Stantz Graphite Pencil Drawing

After redrawing Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank, I felt inspired to revisit another older drawing. Having originally drawn it during a dry spell around 2004, I thought it fitting to revisit this photo / drawing of Ray from Ghostbusters. (And, in all honesty, I found it awfully frustrating that I […]

10 Years

Today, February 14 (Yes, Valentine’s Day), marks 10 years since I wandered into an art store for the first time in years and rekindled my love for drawing. 10 years! See, in high school I fell in love with drawing portraits, and began developing my abilities through continuous projects. Most […]

Colored Pencil Drawing of Harrison Ford as Han Solo

Truth be told, colored pencil is outside my comfort zone. However, I see other artists do INCREDIBLE things with it all the time, and it makes me want to push myself to get better at it. I decided I want to try my hand at more colored pencil work and […]

Drawing of Plumb

Since 1997, I’ve been an avid listener and fan of Plumb and her music (in other words, since “Plumb” was a band, not just Tiffany’s performing alias). As a follow-up to Yvonne as a proverbial artistic reset button, I decided to try my hand at this portrait of Plumb. (Print […]

Pencil Drawing of Yvonne Strahovski (“Chuck” / “24: Live Another Day”)

Doing just straight-up pencil drawings is kind of a palette cleanser for me. So after (or sometimes during) working on something that detail and/or color intensive, I’ll just start a drawing like this one for fun and further practice. After getting totally addicted to the show “Chuck” via NetFlix, I […]

Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing of Rocket and Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy”

After drawing Chris Pratt as Star Lord –and heeding requests from some folks– I decided to attack a Rocket and Groot drawing. I approached it with mostly graphite pencil and then added in colored pencil for some of Rocket’s fur, the sight on his gun and Groot’s moss. Etsy link […]

Pencil / Prismacolor Hybrid of Jack Bauer and Chloe O’Brian from “24: Live Another Day”

After having binge-watched 8 seasons of 24 to catch up to the new season and watch half of it as it aired, I was bit pretty hard by the “24” bug. A friend suggested I draw the promo art for “Live Another Day” and I immediately pictured it as graphite […]

Pencil Portrait of Rick Moranis as Louis Tully / Vinz Clortho in “Ghostbusters”

Deciding to go for another Ghostbusters piece, I realized I’ve never drawn Louis! And I thought this portrait summed him up pretty nicely. The colander was pretty challenging with all the detail and various colors, but I was mostly happy with the end result.

Pencil Portrait of Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver in “Ghostbusters”

Exhibit A. (See previous post about Audrey Hepburn) This was a challenge for sure. I really enjoy doing Ghostbusters themed pieces and I was surprised, while looking for inspiring images online, to have never seen the source photo for this drawing before. I found it especially challenging–since I draw entirely […]

Pencil Drawing of Audrey Hepburn in “Charade”

I’ll let you in on a little secret: I’m seldom happy with the end results of my drawings. We’ve come to hang a few of my works around the house to decorate the walls a bit, and our living room has been classic film actors for several years now. Older […]

Colored Pencil, Graphite Pencil Drawing of Optimus Prime from “Transformers: Age of Extinction”

After Roger & Eddie, I decided to attempt something I felt very uncomfortable with. I grew up with Transformers and I love Optimus Prime, but the detail in Michael Bay’s take on Transformers is just… overwhelming! So I decided to step out of my comfort zone and attempt an Optimus […]
