Another actress I was due to draw is Kate Hudson – love her in anything I’ve seen her in! As usual, I drew this one freehand with all graphite pencils.

Uma Thurman Freehand Graphite Portrait
“Uma, Jerry… UMA!” I have to admit I haven’t seen a ton of Uma’s films, but she’s definitely memorable in the ones I’ve seen her in (especially “Gattaca”). I knew it was due time to give drawing her likeness a shot. This one is drawn entirely freehand with graphite pencils. […]
Rocket Raccoon Colored Pencil “Avengers: Endgame” Drawing
With the release of (and love for) “Avengers: Endgame,” I wanted to do a new drawing of Rocket Raccoon. I used colored pencils and marker to do this one, and decided to add in a graphite drawing of Groot behind him, since he is who Rocket probably loved – and […]
Christina Hendricks Colored Pencil and Marker Sketch
I had attempted a graphite drawing of actress Christina Hendricks, but I just wasn’t happy with it. I ended up going for a quicker, slightly rougher marker and colored pencil sketch of Christina that you see here. It was different than what I normally do, but it was an enjoyable […]
Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing of Steve Carell as “Prison Mike” in “The Office”
As a big fan of The Office, I felt it was nearly a must to draw Michael Scott’s “Prison Mike” persona. I’ve seen a lot of artistic representations of this image / character, but I caved and decided to take a stab at my own. 🙂 I drew it freehand with […]
Graphite Portrait of Salma Hayek
How can you not love Salma Hayek? This was a unique pose to draw – and a fun one. I used all graphite, drawn freehand, on 9×12 Strathmore Art smooth Bristol paper. Etsy link to purchase the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/777421510/salma-hayek-original-pencil-drawing
Eiza Gonzalez Freehand Timelapse Sketch
I figured I’d change things up a bit with a graphite “sketch” portrait of model/actress Eiza Gonzalez and ended up recording the whole thing via timelapse in a couple different sessions and then stitched it all together. You can watch the video below: Etsy link for the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/785864987/eiza-gonzalez-original-pencil-drawing […]
Freehand Graphite Drawing of Dwight and Jim in “The Office”
The Office fanbase has been some of the most encouraging and supportive of my work. And with it being my favorite show, it makes it easier to want to make more new artwork based around some of my favorite characters. This one featuring Jim giving the his classic look just […]
Updated Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) Graphite Drawing
(new updated version) In 2011, after I started getting back into drawing regularly, I did a freehand graphite drawing of Tony Shalhoub as the OCD detective, Adrian Monk. Over time, though, I felt pretty unimpressed by the work I’d done on it, so I decided, after rewatching the show again […]
Colored Pencil “Seinfeld” Group
I’m definitely a fan of the show Seinfeld and Jerry’s standup comedy. While this foursome were pretty terrible people on the show, the show didn’t take itself seriously, making it pretty entertaining to watch. I drew Jerry once by himself and wasn’t happy with how it turned out, but I wanted […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Cobie Smulders
In trying to find new and different people to draw, I thought I’d draw S.H.I.E.L.D’s own Maria Hill – AKA Cobie Smulders – but as herself. I’ve never watched How I Met Your Mother (beyond the pilot episode), but I enjoy Cobie as an actress. This photo is a little steamy […]
Stana Katic Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/779182615/monk-tony-shalhoub-drawing-print Etsy link to purchase the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/619146520/original-graphite-pencil-drawing-of-tony
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 […]
