Ha! This one makes me smile. I love Hayley Atwell, I think she’s beautiful, and I loved her as Peggy Carter in the Captain America movies. But I also love interesting facial expressions to draw… and the source photo for this, which she posted on her Instagram, just screamed to […]

Kate Winslet Freehand Sketch
Here’s a little “looser” sketch that I did of the lovely Kate Winslet. Instead of spending the usual hours and hours (and hours) of work on a portrait, I decided to do this one as a bit more of a rougher sketch.
Eddie Cantor in “Roman Scandals” Freehand Drawing
I have a vivid memory as a kid, sitting in my grandparents’ living room, and my grandfather showing my family old Eddie Cantor films. I love his comedy, as well as how he blends music with his comedy — he was something special and one of the greats! I’ve struggled […]
Kristin Kruek Freehand Pencil Drawing
I know Kristin Kruek has been in a bunch of shows and such, but I think it’s the show Chuck that I know her best from. The source image for this one was one I found on her Instagram account. I drew it freehand with graphite pencils. Etsy link for […]
Sienna Miller Freehand Pencil Portrait
I couldn’t even tell you where I first saw Sienna Miller, but I’ve enjoyed seeing her in films over the years. I liked this unique image of her, but I definitely struggled capturing her likeness. Etsy link to purchase the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1061761622/sienna-miller-original-graphite-drawing Prints are available upon request.
Lucille Ball Freehand Graphite Portrait
It’s funny, but I don’t think I was even looking for photos of Lucille Ball when I found the image I used as a source for this drawing. It seemed like such an unusual look for Lucy – and I loved it! I drew this one freehand with graphite […]
Freehand Graphite Kristy Swanson Portrait
In a continued effort to expand my list of subjects, I decided to draw the lovely Kristy Swanson, best known probably as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I loved her in the show Psych and several classic 90s movies. 🙂 Etsy link for the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1076135341/kristy-swanson-original-graphite-drawing (Prints available upon […]
Gwyenth Paltrow Pencil Portrait
Here’s another freehand pencil portrait that took forever to finish. Again, if you’ve read some of my blogs, you’ll know I tend to randomly start drawings that seem to interest me in the moment, even if I know it won’t necessarily be a crowd-pleaser, so to speak. This is a […]
McKenna Grace Pencil Portrait with dog Gizmo
In an attempt to broaden my subjects, I decided to take a crack at young actress McKenna Grace with her dog Gizmo. I loved her in the movie Gifted and was looking forward to seeing her in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, so I thought I’d try to honor the future Phoebe Spengler […]
Black Widow Movie Colored Pencil Drawing
With a new Black Widow movie (finally) out, I decided to do a new freehand colored pencil drawing of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. I love her in this role! Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1040952216/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black
