I think I did a portrait or two between my Buzz and Woody drawings, but after drawing Buzz, I know I HAD to draw Woody. I also used marker and colored pencils for this one, too. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/764205903/woody-toy-story-colored-pencil-drawing

Buzz Lightyear Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Portrait
After revisiting the Toy Story world with the new release of Toy Story 4, I felt inspired to draw a couple of Toy Story-themed “portraits.” As usual, I drew them freehand, but I used some marker as a base for Buzz before finishing it in colored pencil. It was still […]
Autographed Dan Aykroyd “Ray Stantz” Drawing
At the end of 2019, I ventured alone to the Lancaster, PA area to wait outside in the frigid cold of November (the 15th, to be exact) in hopes of meeting Dan Aykroyd. With Ghostbusters still being my favorite movie of all-time, I didn’t want to miss out on the […]
Jim Carrey “Truman Show” Freehand Graphite Drawing
When I was a teenager, I did a sketch of Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank in “The Truman Show.” Truth be told, it wasn’t a BAD drawing, but I felt the need, more recently, to try to re-draw it from scratch. The end result is what you see above. I […]
Kate Austen “LOST” Evangeline Lilly Pencil Drawing
And my introduction to Evangeline Lilly was in the show LOST – a show I didn’t become a fan of myself until first watching it in its entirety on Amazon Prime or NetFlix. I’ve since watched the whole show through a couple times, and I think the more I’ve watched […]
Jaimie Alexander Pencil Portrait
My introduction to Jaimie Alexander was in her work as Lady Sif in the Marvel movie Thor (and I’m thrilled to hear she’ll be back in the next Thor movie!). I then became more of a fan after seeing her in the TV show Blindspot. I’ve found she’s a […]
Autographed Freehand Colored Pencil MacGyver Drawing
As a fan of MacGyver since probably my pre-teens, I jumped at the chance to meet Richard Dean Anderson at a convention in November, 2019. After a weird fire drill almost squashed our attempts to meet him, RDA graciously hung around to meet fans and pose for photos later in […]
Colored Pencil Iron Man “Endgame” Drawing
What Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. began with the first Iron Man film not only made me a fan of the character that I otherwise had never heard of, but had made me a fan of Marvel and the Avengers (and it made me realize Captain America […]
Godzilla Colored Pencil Drawing
My dad has been a lifelong fan of Godzilla – a love he has even passed on to my son. For his birthday, I drew him this freehand colored pencil drawing of Godzilla from the King of the Monsters movie on black “artagain” paper. It was a fun challenge to […]
Hilarie Burton Freehand Graphite Drawing
I actually first discovered Hilarie Burton through her work on White Collar, and I loved her contributions to that show. And when I got into the short-lived but fantastic Lethal Weapon TV show, I loved seeing her appear there as well. I started this one some time ago as a […]
Rachel Weisz Freehand Graphite Sketch
I’m sure I’ve said this before, but oftentimes when I’m between drawings – and often especially between grueling projects – I tend to take on less stressful projects just to keep practicing my craft (Of course, they can sometimes become stressful if I struggle with getting a likeness right). This […]
Laurel & Hardy Freehand Graphite Drawing
One comedic duo I’ve loved since childhood was easily Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. I found a DVD set of a good chunk of their films and decided to binge-watch most of them. Out of that binging, I decided to finally do a drawing of the pair. Because I […]
Aragorn Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing I did of Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I love the LOTR movies but had never done a real LOTR themed drawing (I did do a couple Hobbit themed ones, however). I was really […]
Sebastian Stan Commissioned Freehand Drawing
As a commissioned project, I did a freehand Sebastian Stan graphite drawing with a hint of colored pencil for his lips and eyes. I was on the fence about the color for the lips, but the client loved it, so it all worked out. For offering prints in my shop, […]
Captain America (Chris Evans) Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
I can’t remember the last time I got as excited during a moment in a movie than when Thor’s hammer, mjolnir, flew into Captain America’s hand during the epic climactic battle in Avengers: Endgame. Such an incredible moment! I knew right away I wanted to capture it somehow and draw […]
Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) Pencil Drawing
By far one of the best things about Parks and Recreation is Nick Offerman’s Ron Swanson. This pencil portrait was my attempt at capturing Ron’s confrontational mug. 🙂 (Freehand graphite drawing) Etsy store link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/733044717/print-of-graphite-pencil-drawing-of-ron Etsy store link for the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/721054758/original-graphite-pencil-drawing-of-ron
Marisa Miller Pencil Portrait
Marisa Miller is probably most known for being a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. I wanted to draw her, but it was tough to find a source photo that wasn’t TOO provocative. Ha! But still, this one was a bit flirty regardless. 🙂 I drew this one freehand as well […]
Bridget Regan Pencil Drawing
Bridget Regan caught my attention in the show White Collar, so I’ve drawn her a couple times. I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. Etsy store link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/912392466/bridget-regan-drawing-print
Pom Klementieff Graphite Drawing
I loved Pom Klementieff in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War, and I’m really excited to see her in the upcoming Mission: Impossible sequels. I picked this image to draw because I was intrigued by the emotion and light in the photo. I drew this one […]
Spider-Man Tom Holland Colored Pencil, Marker and Graphite Drawing
This one runs the full spectrum of media creation for me. For several years now, I’ve been drawing album cover art for free MP3 compilations my site JFH has been compiling and giving away. For this one, I wanted to do a drawing of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man with the […]
Annabelle Wallis Pencil Drawing
Although I’m sure she’s most known for more successful ventures, I really liked Annabelle Wallis in the Tom Cruise-led Mummy reboot. I drew this freehand using graphite pencils. (Prints and the original drawing are available upon request)
Emmy Rossum Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
I think my first exposure to Emmy Rossum was Poseidon – even though she’s far more known for her show Shameless, which I’ve never seen an episode of. I believe this was one of those drawings that I took forever to finally finish. And to make it a little different, […]
Alicia Witt Graphite Pencil Drawing
Although it seemed like a crime to do a black and white drawing of someone with such lovely red hair, a graphite drawing was what felt right at the time for this freehand drawing of Alicia Witt. 🙂 (Prints and original drawing available upon request)
Michelle Pfeiffer Graphite Portrait
From Catwoman to a witch in Stardust, Michelle Pfeiffer is a celebrated actress who has done a wide range of roles through the years. I had been trying to broaden my variety of people I was drawing and thought Michelle would be a nice addition. I drew this freehand […]
Jewel Staite Graphite Portrait
I’ve seen Jewel in a few shows, but she’s probably most known for her work in Firefly and the movie Serenity. I took a stab at a freehand graphite drawing of her here. Prints are available upon request, but the original is available here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/723383125/original-pencil-drawing-of-jewel-staite
Elizabeth Olsen “Scarlet Witch” Wanda Maximoff Colored Pencil Drawing
At first, after Avengers: Age of Ultron, I wasn’t super crazy about Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda / Scarlet Witch character, but she’s grown on me a lot with the following films she appeared in. (And I’m definitely looking forward to that quirky WandaVision show coming out in 2021.) This was a […]
Olga Kurylenko Graphite Portrait
Actress / model Olga Kurylenko isn’t just a sweet person, but a great actress — I loved her in Quantum of Solace and Oblivion. She’s frequently shared my drawings I’ve done of her on her social channels, which I will always be grateful for! (Prints are available upon request)
Stana Katic Graphite Portrait
Stana Katic is another person I just love to draw – but I still find her a challenge to get just right. I just love her as Kate Beckett in the show “Castle”! Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/707166116/drawing-print-of-stana-katic-who-plays
Abigail Spencer Graphite Pencil Portrait
I loved Abigail Spencer in the short-lived TV show “Timeless” and have found she’s fun, yet difficult, to draw. I drew this freehand in graphite pencil and it remains my favorite drawing I’ve attempted of her thus far. It’s a nice, upbeat one to look at too. 🙂 (Prints are […]
Karen Gillan Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
I still think it’s hard to believe Karen Gillan is under all that make up as Nebula in the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Granted, Doctor Who fans know her as Amy Pond (I’ve never watched the show), but to me she’s Nebula and Ruby Roundhouse from the […]
