This is an oldie, but a history-maker. This was basically one of my first real “successful” portraits that I’d done, experimenting with charcoal pencils and sticks. I drew this in my junior year of high school for Art II class. It even made it into the school art show. At […]

Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack (Serendipity) Pencil Drawing
This shot is a scene from the 2001 film Serendipity in which Kate Beckinsale’s character (Sara) had been ice skating with John Cusack’s character (Jonathan) and when they both fall, they retreat to a park bench. As a result of the fall, Sara acquires a scrape on her arm which […]
Tommy Lee Jones Pencil Drawing
This picture of Tommy Lee Jones originated in my “infamous” sketch book which became home to all of my high school portrait drawings. This one was made using only pencil, however, I used different shades, of course. But since Tommy Lee Jones has been one of my favorite actors for […]
Jackie Chan Pencil Drawing
After movies like Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, Jackie Chan secured himself as one of my favorite actors. I’ve always liked his characters because he manages to be funny and amaze with his martial arts abilities. This drawing began as a doodle during my Contemporary Biology class in the Fall […]
Catherine Zeta-Jones Pencil Drawing
This picture was actually the second Catherine Zeta-Jones drawing I did. I had drawn one up that I kind of liked, but wasn’t totally satisfied with. Then, someone told me it looked nothing like her. So I tried to fix it and in the process, made it worse. SO, I […]
Jim Caviezel Pencil Drawing
This sketch was my first portrait of 2002 and broke an almost year-long hiatus from drawing. I had done other drawings that were just basically doodles and such since then, but this was the first real detail-oriented sketch in a long time. Jim Caviezel is a fantastic actor and an […]
Leonardo DiCaprio Charcoal Drawing
I drew this picture for my 16-year-old cousin Laura in January/early February ’98, and gave it to her soon after I finished. She had begged me to draw Leo for her for a long time and in the midst of all the hype with Titanic and her persistence, I caved […]
MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) Sketch
This one of Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver) was sketched on special charcoal paper using strictly graphite pencils. The paper was hard to work with, but it creates a sketchier look– if you want that. However, I only used this paper once after this drawing and haven’t touched it since. I […]
Surrealism Project
In my spring semester of my Freshman year of community college, in Drawing II class, we were instructed to draw a “surrealism” drawing as our final project. Surrealism is basically a partially realistic rendering of a dream-like fantasy world. Examples of professional surrealism is Salvador Dahli‘s famous melting clock painting. […]
Non-Traditional Self-Portrait
In my spring semester of my Freshman year of community college, in Drawing II class, we were instructed to draw a “non-traditional self-portrait” of ourselves for an assignment. The final product was 18 x 20, and due to its large size, I couldn’t just scan it. Because of that, I […]
