While my wife and I were rewatching LOST last year, I decided it was time for a new drawing of Sawyer. I liked this shot from the show of him on the beach – and that signature sly look on his face.

Drawing of Sun and Jin from LOST

Uma Thurman Freehand Graphite Portrait

Christina Hendricks Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Sketch

Steve Carell as “Prison Mike” in “The Office” Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
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 […]

Updated Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) Freehand 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 […]
Jerry Seinfeld, Kramer, George and Elaine Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 […]
Cobie Smulders Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 Freehand Graphite 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 Graphite 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 […]
