I am #sorrynotsorry about my love for drawing Stana Katic. Part of it is that I just really enjoy drawing her, and another part is that sometimes I’m just not satisfied enough with the previous drawing. But, for the most part, I just love drawing her. I became a fan […]

Updated Juliet from LOST Elizabeth Mitchell Drawing
I forget what exactly inspired me to rework/update my Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet from LOST drawing, but for a long time, I knew the drawing could be better. So, for these changes, I didn’t redraw the drawing, but took the original drawing and spent more time on adding details and […]
Reese Witherspoon Freehand Pencil Drawing
How cute is Reese Witherspoon?! Like, seriously?? Ha. I saw the source photo I used to draw this drawing online and knew I had to draw it. I’m pretty sure it ended up being one of those long-running projects where I worked on it a little bit here and there […]
Adrian Monk Freehand Pencil Drawing
After binge rewatching the entire Monk series once again, I felt inspired to try to draw Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk again. So this one was done freehand with all graphite pencils.

Updated Freehand Graphite Jenna Fischer Portrait
Speaking of updated drawings, I think I first reworked this portrait of Jenna Fischer before attempting the colored pencil one of her and John Krasinski. I just wanted to add more contrast with her hair and eyes, and try to fix some areas that could use improvements. Etsy link for […]
Updated Freehand Colored Pencil Jim and Pam The Office Drawing
I’m regularly discontented with my work. And even in instances like this when I attempt to update an older drawing, I’m often still not quite able to get it to where I truly want it. I had revisited my Jenna Fischer drawing some time before this one, and revisited my […]
Ana de Armas Freehand Graphite Portrait
After seeing her in Knives Out, I became an instant fan of Ana de Armas. She was just lovable in it. I found this cute pose online and thought it’d make for a great portrait. I drew this one freehand in all graphite pencil on Strathmore Art smooth Bristol paper in […]
Dwight and Angela in The Office Wedding Freehand Graphite Portrait
Expanding on my love for the US version of The Office, I decided to tackle another romantic image, this time involving Angela and Dwight during the series finale at their wedding. This was, as usual, drawn freehand with graphite pencil on Strathmore Art smooth Bristol paper in 9″ x 12″. Etsy […]
Michael & Holly from “The Office” Freehand Graphite Portrait
As a huge fan of the US version of The Office, it’s too tempting to keep drawing iconic moments from the show (plus the fanbase is pretty supportive!) Although the last season Steve Carell performed the character Michael Scott is a bittersweet one, it’s nice to see Michael finally find […]
Redrawn Ray Stantz Graphite Pencil Drawing
After redrawing Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank, I felt inspired to revisit another older drawing. Having originally drawn it during a dry spell around 2004, I thought it fitting to revisit this photo / drawing of Ray from Ghostbusters. (And, in all honesty, I found it awfully frustrating that I […]
Woody Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Portrait
I think I did a portrait or two between my Buzz and Woody drawings, but after drawing Buzz, I know I HAD to draw Woody. I also used marker and colored pencils for this one, too. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/764205903/woody-toy-story-colored-pencil-drawing
Buzz Lightyear Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Portrait
After revisiting the Toy Story world with the new release of Toy Story 4, I felt inspired to draw a couple of Toy Story-themed “portraits.” As usual, I drew them freehand, but I used some marker as a base for Buzz before finishing it in colored pencil. It was still […]
Autographed Dan Aykroyd “Ray Stantz” Drawing
At the end of 2019, I ventured alone to the Lancaster, PA area to wait outside in the frigid cold of November (the 15th, to be exact) in hopes of meeting Dan Aykroyd. With Ghostbusters still being my favorite movie of all-time, I didn’t want to miss out on the […]
Jim Carrey “Truman Show” Freehand Graphite Drawing
When I was a teenager, I did a sketch of Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank in “The Truman Show.” Truth be told, it wasn’t a BAD drawing, but I felt the need, more recently, to try to re-draw it from scratch. The end result is what you see above. I […]
Kate Austen “LOST” Evangeline Lilly Pencil Drawing
And my introduction to Evangeline Lilly was in the show LOST – a show I didn’t become a fan of myself until first watching it in its entirety on Amazon Prime or NetFlix. I’ve since watched the whole show through a couple times, and I think the more I’ve watched […]
Jaimie Alexander Pencil Portrait
My introduction to Jaimie Alexander was in her work as Lady Sif in the Marvel movie Thor (and I’m thrilled to hear she’ll be back in the next Thor movie!). I then became more of a fan after seeing her in the TV show Blindspot. I’ve found she’s a […]
Autographed Freehand Colored Pencil MacGyver Drawing
As a fan of MacGyver since probably my pre-teens, I jumped at the chance to meet Richard Dean Anderson at a convention in November, 2019. After a weird fire drill almost squashed our attempts to meet him, RDA graciously hung around to meet fans and pose for photos later in […]
Colored Pencil Iron Man “Endgame” Drawing
What Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. began with the first Iron Man film not only made me a fan of the character that I otherwise had never heard of, but had made me a fan of Marvel and the Avengers (and it made me realize Captain America […]
Godzilla Colored Pencil Drawing
My dad has been a lifelong fan of Godzilla – a love he has even passed on to my son. For his birthday, I drew him this freehand colored pencil drawing of Godzilla from the King of the Monsters movie on black “artagain” paper. It was a fun challenge to […]
Hilarie Burton Freehand Graphite Drawing
I actually first discovered Hilarie Burton through her work on White Collar, and I loved her contributions to that show. And when I got into the short-lived but fantastic Lethal Weapon TV show, I loved seeing her appear there as well. I started this one some time ago as a […]
Rachel Weisz Freehand Graphite Sketch
I’m sure I’ve said this before, but oftentimes when I’m between drawings – and often especially between grueling projects – I tend to take on less stressful projects just to keep practicing my craft (Of course, they can sometimes become stressful if I struggle with getting a likeness right). This […]
Laurel & Hardy Freehand Graphite Drawing
One comedic duo I’ve loved since childhood was easily Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. I found a DVD set of a good chunk of their films and decided to binge-watch most of them. Out of that binging, I decided to finally do a drawing of the pair. Because I […]
Aragorn Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing I did of Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I love the LOTR movies but had never done a real LOTR themed drawing (I did do a couple Hobbit themed ones, however). I was really […]
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, […]
Captain America (Chris Evans) Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
I can’t remember the last time I got as excited during a moment in a movie than when Thor’s hammer, mjolnir, flew into Captain America’s hand during the epic climactic battle in Avengers: Endgame. Such an incredible moment! I knew right away I wanted to capture it somehow and draw […]
Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) Pencil Drawing
By far one of the best things about Parks and Recreation is Nick Offerman’s Ron Swanson. This pencil portrait was my attempt at capturing Ron’s confrontational mug. 🙂 (Freehand graphite drawing) Etsy store link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/733044717/print-of-graphite-pencil-drawing-of-ron Etsy store link for the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/721054758/original-graphite-pencil-drawing-of-ron
Marisa Miller Pencil Portrait
Marisa Miller is probably most known for being a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. I wanted to draw her, but it was tough to find a source photo that wasn’t TOO provocative. Ha! But still, this one was a bit flirty regardless. 🙂 I drew this one freehand as well […]
Bridget Regan Pencil Drawing
Bridget Regan caught my attention in the show White Collar, so I’ve drawn her a couple times. I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. Etsy store link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/912392466/bridget-regan-drawing-print
Pom Klementieff Graphite Drawing
I loved Pom Klementieff in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War, and I’m really excited to see her in the upcoming Mission: Impossible sequels. I picked this image to draw because I was intrigued by the emotion and light in the photo. I drew this one […]
Spider-Man Tom Holland Colored Pencil, Marker and Graphite Drawing
This one runs the full spectrum of media creation for me. For several years now, I’ve been drawing album cover art for free MP3 compilations my site JFH has been compiling and giving away. For this one, I wanted to do a drawing of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man with the […]
