Annabelle Wallis Pencil Drawing

Although I’m sure she’s most known for more successful ventures, I really liked Annabelle Wallis in the Tom Cruise-led Mummy reboot. I drew this freehand using graphite pencils. (Prints and the original drawing are available upon request)

Emmy Rossum Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing

I think my first exposure to Emmy Rossum was Poseidon – even though she’s far more known for her show Shameless, which I’ve never seen an episode of. I believe this was one of those drawings that I took forever to finally finish. And to make it a little different, […]

Alicia Witt Graphite Pencil Drawing

  Although it seemed like a crime to do a black and white drawing of someone with such lovely red hair, a graphite drawing was what felt right at the time for this freehand drawing of Alicia Witt. 🙂 (Prints and original drawing available upon request)

Michelle Pfeiffer Graphite Portrait

  From Catwoman to a witch in Stardust, Michelle Pfeiffer is a celebrated actress who has done a wide range of roles through the years. I had been trying to broaden my variety of people I was drawing and thought Michelle would be a nice addition. I drew this freehand […]

Jewel Staite Graphite Portrait

I’ve seen Jewel in a few shows, but she’s probably most known for her work in Firefly and the movie Serenity. I took a stab at a freehand graphite drawing of her here. Prints are available upon request, but the original is available here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/723383125/original-pencil-drawing-of-jewel-staite

Elizabeth Olsen “Scarlet Witch” Wanda Maximoff Colored Pencil Drawing

At first, after Avengers: Age of Ultron, I wasn’t super crazy about Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda / Scarlet Witch character, but she’s grown on me a lot with the following films she appeared in. (And I’m definitely looking forward to that quirky WandaVision show coming out in 2021.) This was a […]

Olga Kurylenko Graphite Portrait

Actress / model Olga Kurylenko isn’t just a sweet person, but a great actress — I loved her in Quantum of Solace and Oblivion. She’s frequently shared my drawings I’ve done of her on her social channels, which I will always be grateful for! (Prints are available upon request)

Stana Katic Graphite Portrait

Stana Katic is another person I just love to draw – but I still find her a challenge to get just right. I just love her as Kate Beckett in the show “Castle”! Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/707166116/drawing-print-of-stana-katic-who-plays

I loved Abigail Spencer in the short-lived TV show “Timeless” and have found she’s fun, yet difficult, to draw. I drew this freehand in graphite pencil and it remains my favorite drawing I’ve attempted of her thus far. It’s a nice, upbeat one to look at too. 🙂 (Prints are […]

Karen Gillan Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing

I still think it’s hard to believe Karen Gillan is under all that make up as Nebula in the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Granted, Doctor Who fans know her as Amy Pond (I’ve never watched the show), but to me she’s Nebula and Ruby Roundhouse from the […]

Meg Ryan Graphite Pencil Drawing

What 80’s and 90’s movie fan didn’t like Meg Ryan? This was a fun freehand graphite drawing to do of Meg (as Meg and not one of her characters) 🙂 Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/697057338/drawing-print-of-actress-meg-ryan Etsy link for the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/710841225/meg-ryan-original-sketch-not-a-print

Heidi Klum is a face everyone has probable seen somewhere at some point in their life. 🙂 I hoped to do her justice and drew this freehand graphite drawing in 2019.

“Jan” Quad Drawing from “The Office” Commissioned Piece

This four-piece freehand colored pencil drawing was done as a commission piece for a fellow fan of the show The Office. In the fourth season episode “The Dinner Party,” you can see a painting that has this imagery on it hanging in Michael’s condo. We later see it again in […]

Zoe Saldana Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing

Speaking of different poses that stand out, I loved the source photo I used of actress Zoe Saldana for this drawing. It’s unique and showcases her beauty! I drew this freehand with colored pencils (and I think some markers as a base). It’s rare I’m happy with how my drawings […]

Marion Cotillard Freehand Graphite Drawing

When looking for a photo of French actress Marion Cotillard to draw from, I found this unique photo and knew it’d be fun to draw. The nontraditional facial expressions are always a fun challenge to replicate. 🙂 This one is drawn freehand with graphite pencils.

Sarah Paulson Freehand Drawing

I loved Sarah in the movie “Down with Love,” and it’s been cool to see her rise as a star through the years. I liked how unusual this pose was and decided to tackle it as more of a freestyle pencil sketch style. Etsy link for the original (Prints available […]

Freehand Colored Pencil Amanda Peet Drawing

And like Zooey, my freehand colored pencil drawing of Amanda Peet was another one that took quite a while to actually finish. I also really struggled with getting her likeness just right. Sometimes when I have a really difficult time achieving it to my satisfaction, I tend to shelve it […]

Freehand Zooey Deschanel Drawing

Another drawing that took some time to finish (I seem to have a lot of those — I even have two longtime stragglers I’m working on as I type this) is a freehand portrait of Zooey Deschanel. This drawing was done in graphite, but I used colored pencils for her […]

Amy Adams Pencil Portrait

It seems like I always have a few drawings that take months to finish — for no other reason than they’re pet projects that I kind of lose interest in for a while. This one took quite a while to finish, but it’s always rewarding when I finally do. 🙂 […]

Morena Baccarin Pencil Portrait

She’s been seen in a lot of movies and shows, but she’s probably most notable for her roles in Firefly and Deadpool. I drew this one of Morena Baccarin freehand entirely in graphite pencil. (The only problem is that the shinier the graphite, the tougher it is to get it […]

Captain Marvel Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing

With the buzz over the first female-led Marvel movie last March, I set out to create this mixture of marker (as a base) and colored pencil drawing of Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. I’m a purist, so I prefer using just one medium at a time, but for a drawing […]

“Serendipity” Freehand Drawing – Updated

2004: 2019 update: In 2004, I did a drawing of Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack in the romantic comedy, Serendipity and gave it to my wife Amy as a gift. Earlier in 2019,  I decided to dedicate some time to updating it — trying to fix some things I didn’t […]

Ghostbusters / Real Ghostbusters Art Book Submission Mash-Up

In March, 2019, I worked on an exclusive original drawing for an upcoming Ghostbusters-themed art book. It was centered on the original team, which, as many of you know, has long been my favorite movie. I jumped at the chance to do this project. I worked pretty intensely on a […]

Millie Bobby Brown as “Eleven” in Stranger Things Drawing

Ah, the stench of failure. It’s something all artists of some form have to experience. While it may not be something we ever get used to, it’s definitely something we have to learn how to handle. It’s important to see what we can learn from failure and disappointment and then […]

Marion Cotillard Pencil Portrait

Ah, French actress Marion Cotillard! I think my first introduction to her was Inception, which wasn’t the kindest role for her.  Then she wasn’t exactly nice as pie in The Dark Knight Rises, but the sweet spot was hit when I saw her in Midnight in Paris. (Which is a […]

Melora Hardin Colored Pencil Portrait

“Jan Levinson, I presume?” Who couldn’t love the completely unhinged performance that Melora Hardin gives to Jan Levinson on The Office? I’d wanted to draw Melora and settled on a picture of her as herself — with a bit of a Jan expression — and decided to do it entirely […]

Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man in “Avengers: Infinity War”

I love Iron Man, Avengers, the MCU – it’s all gravy to me. Sure, they’re not perfect movies, but a lot of them are excellent, and I truly believe they achieved something very special with the first run of movies that ended with Avengers: Endgame. Earlier in 2019, I decided […]

Winter Soldier Sebastian Stan Graphite Drawing

And here is a second Winter Soldier / Sebastian Stan portrait commission piece I did. It’s a freehand graphite drawing on Strathmore Art smooth Bristol paper. (I might as well start a business drawing Sebastian! This wouldn’t be my last commission of him in the months following, either. 🙂 ) […]
