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. 🙂 Link for purchasing […]

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 […]

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 […]
Hey friends, This one’s a bit scary to write—but also a bit exciting. After years of pouring hours (and blood, sweat, and tears) into each of my pencil portrait originals, I’ve made the decision to raise my prices on all […]
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 […]
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 […]
I haven’t seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, but I wanted to draw Emilia Clarke — probably after seeing her in Solo. But also to expand my drawing subjects. I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. Link to […]

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Here is a commissioned freehand graphite drawing I did a couple years ago of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. The client liked the dissheveled look of Cumberbatch in this candid photo and wanted me to draw it… so here it […]
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 […]
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 […]
With the release of “Lloyd the Chipmunk and the Quest for the Perfect Job,” I had been bitten by the book-publishing bug. Since I did the writing, illustrating, digital converting and assembly of the book all by myself, I knew […]
Another freehand graphite commissioned piece I did is this one of the Allman Brothers. To say this was an involved and detailed drawing would be quite an understatement. 🙂 Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/the-allman-brothers-drawing-print

I had the pleasure of meeting Devon from The Office at DunderCon in 2022. He wasn’t a big or popular character on the show, but he is part of one of the most iconic episodes in the series – in […]
If anyone follows the Netflix hit show Stranger Things, they know the new character of Eddie in Season 4 was a huge fan favorite. In 2022, when it came to picking a subject for the next “Songs We’ve Been Trying […]
Knowing my family and I were going to a convention in Pittsburgh to meet some celebrities, I fast-tracked a drawing of Jerry and Newman from an episode of Seinfeld over the course of 2 nights. (I even brought a scanner […]
Another fun meet-and-greet at DunderCon 2022 was Oscar Nunez, who’s best known for playing Oscar Martinez on the US version of The Office. I drew this iconic pose of his and requested one of my favorite quotes of his – […]
Black Widow was a frequent subject of commission work I’ve done for one client. (But who could get tired of drawing Scarlett Johansson? 🙂 ). I drew this still from 2012’s Avengers freehand in colored pencil (and probably some marker) […]
