Rebecca Romijn Freehand Graphite Pencil Sketch
Here’s a more rough, quicker sketch of the lovely Rebecca Romijn. This was a fun one to do.

The Office’s Jim and Pam Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
This is one of the most iconic Jim and Pam moments from TV’s “The Office.” As part of the annual “Songs We’ve Been Trying To Tell You About (and Others We Haven’t)” compilation series for my website, JFH, I decided to continue the pop culture reference covers by drawing Jim […]
Colored Pencil Dog Commission
If you know my work, you know I typically stick to people portraits. It’s what I enjoy most, for sure. But for this one, a customer wanted an original colored pencil drawings of their pet dogs, so I obliged. While it was fun to draw the little pooches, I have […]
Drawing of Sun and Jin from LOST
As we continued rewatching LOST, I wanted to expand my character portraits and decided to choose a different kind of moment, this time with Sun and Jin. We ended up stalling in our rewatch of the show, but I do hope to do more LOST drawings in the future…

“Utica Raid” Jim, Dwight and Michael from The Office Freehand Graphite Drawing
As you know by now, I love The Office, so I’m often looking for new drawings to inspire me. This one was indeed a challenge because I tried to fit all three guys onto one paper and ended up not being able to fit in all of Jim’s face. To make […]
James Bond and Vesper Freehand Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing
With my love for Casino Royale (and Eva Green!) I wanted to draw a new Bond & Vesper portrait. I decided to use the movie poster featuring the Casino Royale facade with a Vesper portrait (showcasing the love knot jewelry) and a rare promo image of Bond to make something unique. […]
Freehand Colored Pencil Wedding Portrait
It’s true – I don’t just draw celebrities and pop culture characters. 🙂 On occasion, as time permits, I do commissioned portraits for people. This was a freehand colored pencil portrait on 9×12 paper for a client.

Uma Thurman Freehand Graphite Portrait
“Uma, Jerry… UMA!” I have to admit I haven’t seen a ton of Uma’s films, but she’s definitely memorable in the ones I’ve seen her in (especially “Gattaca”). I knew it was due time to give drawing her likeness a shot. This one is drawn entirely freehand with graphite pencils. […]
Rocket Raccoon Colored Pencil “Avengers: Endgame” Freehand Drawing
With the release of (and love for) “Avengers: Endgame,” I wanted to do a new drawing of Rocket Raccoon. I used colored pencils and marker to do this one, and decided to add in a graphite drawing of Groot behind him, since he is who Rocket probably loved – and […]
Christina Hendricks Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Sketch
I had attempted a graphite drawing of actress Christina Hendricks, but I just wasn’t happy with it. I ended up going for a quicker, slightly rougher marker and colored pencil sketch of Christina that you see here. It was different than what I normally do, but it was an enjoyable […]
Steve Carell as “Prison Mike” in “The Office” Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
As a big fan of The Office, I felt it was nearly a must to draw Michael Scott’s “Prison Mike” persona. I’ve seen a lot of artistic representations of this image / character, but I caved and decided to take a stab at my own. 🙂 I drew it freehand with […]

Eiza Gonzalez Freehand Timelapse Sketch

Dwight and Jim in “The Office” Freehand Graphite Drawing

Updated Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) Freehand 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 […]
Jerry Seinfeld, Kramer, George and Elaine Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 […]
Cobie Smulders Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 Freehand Graphite 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 Graphite 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 (Tony Shalhoub) Freehand Graphite 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 Drawing
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. Purchase link for […]
Updated Freehand Colored Pencil Jim and Pam The Office Drawing
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 […]
