Here’s a freehand colored pencil commissioned drawing of actress Danica McKellar. This was a fun one to do (and she seemed to like it when she saw it on social media 🙂 ) Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/print-of-colored-pencil-drawing-of-danica-mckellar-85-x-11
Commissions
And here is a second Winter Soldier / Sebastian Stan portrait commission piece I did. It’s a freehand graphite drawing on Strathmore Art smooth Bristol paper. (I might as well start a business drawing Sebastian! This wouldn’t be my last […]
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. 🙂
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Here’s another commission project I did around the holidays – a freehand graphite drawing of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine from “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” This was an enjoyable commission too. 🙂 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/drawing-print-of-hugh-jackman-as-logan-the-wolverine-in-x-men-origins-wolverine
My favorite kind of commission pieces to do are ones where I actually like the subject matter. A wonderful new client requested an original drawing of Superman for herself in full color. This was a fun piece to do because […]
As a commissioned piece, I did this marker and colored pencil drawing that shows Darth Vader/Anakin battling his Jedi self, with the Emperor pulling the strings in the background. It was challenging, but also kind of fun. 🙂 Purchase link […]
I’ve never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, but this was ordered as a commission piece by a customer for a friend of theirs who has become a faithful supporter of my work. I was thrilled to work […]
The latest commission piece is a freehand full colored pencil portrait of Gerard Butler as Marek in the movie “Timeline” Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/colored-pencil-drawing-print-of-gerard-butler-as-marek-in-the-movie-timeline
And then someone wants to pay you to draw your four favorite characters from your favorite movie. Only drawback is you have to give it up when it’s done. 🙂 This is a pencil drawing with red colored pencil accents […]
Every once in a while I take a commission project. This one proved more difficult than I’d… hoped. Ha. It was larger than most pieces I do, and trying to get everything sized just right (freehand) was so challenging…
Sometimes I get the honor of doing commission pieces. This is a full-color colored pencil drawing of Elizabeth McGovern as Snow White from “Faerie Tale Theatre”.
From time to time, I’ll do commission work and this piece was requested from a new friend. They requested some color with the black and white and I do like the contrast of the red lips and apple with the […]
I don’t take a lot of commission work mostly due to the time it takes to do a portrait — and so I also don’t necessarily want to draw certain pictures people want me to do. But this one was […]
Here’s another drawing I did, entirely in pencil, of a concert photo I took of guitarist Justin Cox from the rock band Fireflight. This photo was from, I think, Uprise Festival 2012 and the drawing was made in December 2013.
I’m pretty behind here on posting the latest projects, so it’s catch-up time. Here goes! As a Christmas gift for a dear friend I worked up a sketch of Nathan Fillion as Captain Mal from the popular, cancelled-after-1-season-show, Firefly. It […]
