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) Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black-widow-colored-pencil-drawing-print-commission-a

Freehand Colored Pencil Zoe Kravitz “Catwoman” Commissioned Drawing
Another commission piece I did was this freehand colored pencil drawing of Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman in “The Batman.” She’s definitely not my favorite Catwoman (Anne Hathaway maybe?), but it was still a nice change of pace to draw.

Robert Pattinson as The Batman Freehand Commissioned Portrait Drawing
I remember when they had announced Twilight’s Robert Pattinson would become the next Batman… it sounded like a cruel joke. However, the guy actually made a pretty decent Batman when the film The Batman released with him donning the cowl. I drew this in colored pencil as a commissioned piece for a […]
The Witcher Video Game Commissioned Colored Pencil Portrait
And now for something completely different. One of the neatest things about doing commissions is that it gives me a chance to step outside of my comfort zone, or to venture into subject matter I won’t otherwise ever draw. I did this freehand colored pencil drawing of characters from the […]
Black Widow Commissioned Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing

Mrs. Doubtfire Commissioned Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s a freehand colored pencil drawing I did of Mrs. Doubtfire that was commissioned. This one was definitely challenging — especially that danged flower blazer! (Prints are not available because the client wanted exclusivity for the artwork.)
Florence Pugh “Yelena” Freehand Colored Pencil “Hawkeye” Commissioned Drawing
A follow-up Florence Pugh as Yelena drawing was commissioned from the same customer, and this time they wanted her posed like in the promotional images for the movie. Before I put in the red “X” background, I scanned it in to give future buyers of prints of the drawing an […]

Freehand Colored Pencil Commission of Black Widow
I have done quite a few commissioned Scarlett/Black Widow drawings for a customer, but since I actually like drawing Scarlett, it’s not really a problem. 🙂 This was drawn freehand with colored pencils.

Thor “Avengers: Endgame” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
After drawing Cap and Iron Man from the climax of Avengers: Endgame, I knew I needed to draw Thor, too, but he never got a really iconic close-up like his fellow heroes did. The closest may be this moment before he charges the ultimate foe, Thanos. (I do have an idea […]
Leia Organa “Hoth” with AT-AT Freehand Commissioned Drawing
While I had drawn this image of Leia before already, a client wanted me to draw it again and merge it with a wintery Hoth battle scene.

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, […]
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 […]
The Real Ghostbusters Commissioned Freehand Marker and Colored Pencil Drawing
Every once in a while, you get a very specific commission project. This one was done for a Ghostbusters fan who wanted a collage of The Real Ghostbusters characters in a very particular way. I drew in a little larger than I usually do with colored pencil and marker. […]

Adam Baldwin as Jayne Cobb in TV’s “Firefly”
Another commission piece ended up being this freehand graphite portrait of Adam Baldwin as Jayne Cobb in Firefly. I loved him in the show “Chuck” more, but I know people seem to love Firefly too. 🙂
Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier in “Avengers: Infinity War” Commissioned Colored Pencil Drawing
From time to time, I take commission work and every once in a great while, the subject matter lines up with my interests. 🙂 I love the Captain America movies and the Avengers, so it was fun to get to draw Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier again, this time […]
Custom “Big Bang Theory” Character Sketch Cards
Here is a batch of Big Bang Theory themed character sketch cards I did for a customer upon request. Doing small portraits is way out of my comfort zone, but upon starting to do more sketch cards, I’ve found it to be a regular task now… (and good practice) www.johndibiaseart.com
Original Freehand Drawing of Duo Vocal Few for Poster Art
Earlier this year, husband/wife duo Vocal Few approached me about doing an original drawing for a tour poster they wanted to make. I mocked it up with pencil and worked closely with them on the color scheme, tone, etc and above is the end result of the drawing. Below is […]
