(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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
