The Marvel movies for Captain America finally gave me a favorite superhero with Chris Evan’s portrayal of him. It was sad to see him hang up the shield in Avengers: Endgame, but he was given an appropriate send-off. With Disney Plus’s Falcon and the Winter Soldier TV series, the shield […]

Signed Colored Pencil and Marker Optimus Prime Drawing

Jim and Pam of The Office Graphite Drawing

Gisele Bundchen Graphite Drawing
In case you haven’t read previous posts I’ve written, I tend to keep a folder of images that, at some point, I thought “That might make a good drawing!” so when I just want to start something new on a whim, or I don’t know what to draw, I tend […]
Freehand Graphite WandaVision Drawing
With all the love for the quirky Marvel show “WandaVision,” I decided to do a pencil drawing of Wanda and Vision in the classic TV appearance.

Gina Carano “Cara Dune” Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing

Captain America Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
Speaking of Captain America, I’d wanted to do another Avengers: Endgame Cap drawing featuring him wielding mjolnir and I just loved this brief in-air shot of him from his fight with Thanos.

Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing of The Mandalorian and Grogu
With the craze of Disney+’sĀ The Mandalorian, I wanted to do a new drawing of Mando with Grogu (aka “Baby Yoda”) and set out to do a freehand drawing of the two of them flying. I did this one with marker as a base and colored pencils. Etsy link for prints: […]
ALF Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing

Ana de Armas Colored Pencil Drawing
How can you not love Ana de Armas after watchingĀ Knives Out? She’s so sweet in that movie, and when I saw this image of her, I knew I wanted to try to draw it, and try extra hard to do a good job with it. I used marker as a […]
Han Solo and Chewbacca Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I wanted to do a new original drawing of Han and Chewie from the first Star Wars film, so I actually had started a different portrait of the two in late 2020 before scrapping it and starting over with this one (I actually started back on that first drawing in […]

Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
WithĀ Clone Wars animated character Ahsoka Tano finally coming to the small screen in live action form – played by Rosario Dawson – in the second season of The Mandalorian, it seemed appropriate to try to capture her in drawn form. Here’s my freehand colored pencil drawing from late 2020. š […]
Jordana Brewster Freehand Portrait
This freehand graphite portrait of actress Jordana Brewster (I know she’s more known for other things, but I loved her in the TV show “Lethal Weapon”) started out as a lighter sketch, but I later went back and put more detail into it. It’s still less detailed than I prefer […]
Alexandra Daddario Freehand Sketch
A couple years ago, I worked on a series of sketches to force myself to draw faster and looser, and this freehand drawing of actress Alexandra Daddario came out of that.

Ben and Leslie “Parks and Recreation” Graphite Drawing
WhileĀ The Office is probably tops for my TV show of choice, I also lovedĀ Parks and Recreation! I knew I needed to do someĀ Parks fan art, and it seemed like a no-brainer to do a portrait of Ben & Leslie from their wedding. š As usual, I drew this freehand using […]
Indiana Jones and Henry Jones Colored Pencil Drawing
After the passing of Sean Connery, I wanted to do a tribute piece from my third-favorite movie of all-time,Ā Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I toiled over this one for quite some time, and used multiple references to try to get the best looks for the guys… I definitely felt […]
Jim and Pam at Niagara “The Office” Freehand Graphite Drawing
Have I mentioned I loveĀ The Office? This was a fun one to draw of Jim and Pam at Niagara Falls for their wedding. I love that look Jim gives the camera — especially after Pam has her head on his shoulder (like that iconic Season One moment when he […]
Mission:Impossible Collage Drawing
In 2020, I had wanted to draw a collage of stunt moments from theĀ Mission:ImpossibleĀ movie series starring Tom Cruise. I started one, using a promo image fromĀ Fallout as a source, but I just couldn’t get the image of Tom to turn out right. I ended up abandoning it and selling it […]
Chewie (Guinea Pig) Freehand Graphite Drawing
In 2005, the weekend thatĀ Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the SithĀ released, my wife and I came home with a darling new baby boy… guinea pig (May 21, 2005). And so we named him Chewie. Chewie was my best pal for the four years we had him before a […]
Bryce Dallas Howard Freehand Colored Pencil Portrait
Here is another portrait I really struggled on. I drew this freehand in colored pencil (with maybe some marker as a base, I don’t really remember. I really struggled to get her likeness just right. I shelved this one many, many times and almost tore it up and gave up […]
