Ever since “discovering” and becoming a hopeless LOST fan in 2012, I’ve enjoyed Evangeline Lilly’s work. I was pretty stoked to learn she was joining the world of The Hobbit and, recently after revisiting The Lord of the Rings film, […]
It’s no secret I’m a big Ghostbusters fan. The movie came out when I was very little and I actually remember going to see it in the theaters a couple of times. With the news last month that Harold Ramis, […]
I decided to then return to screen shots and chose this favorite from Casino Royale. While it’s not exactly the happiest scene, I loved the emotion in it and the fact that the hard-hearted, coldblooded killing British spy lets down […]
After having drawn both Sam Axe and Michael Westen, at the suggestion of a friend of mine, I decided to draw Mike’s Fiona Glenanne. It was a little weird going back to promo photos after having done two screen shots […]
After working on the screenshot from Back To The Future and enjoying it so much, I decided to try my hand at another favorite movie scene. This time I took a screenshot from The Empire Strikes Back, the fifth (or […]
While looking for a good photo of Christopher Lloyd online to draw, I ended up taking a screenshot of one of my favorite scenes in Back To The Future to consider drawing later on. I decided to make it my […]
As an avid Back to the Future fan, I’m surprised I haven’t thought of drawing Doc sooner. And good pics of him are hard to find online. However, I thought this one was out of the ordinary and captured the […]
I’ve been on a Star Wars kick lately and I realized, while I’ve drawn Luke and Han a couple times, I’ve never drawn Leia. So this was an attempt to draw Leia but not using one of the typical iconic […]
After watching Sherlock series 3 and just feeling discontented with my previous Sherlock/Benedict Cumberbatch drawing, I decided to take a stab at a new one. Hopefully this one is better. I worked on it in January 2014 and it’s full […]
After watching it for the first time on Blu-Ray after having seen it while it was in theaters, I decided to work on a pencil drawing of Tom Cruise as Jack Harper in the movie “Oblivion.” I love good sci-fi […]
Speaking of TV shows… I love America’s take on The Office! And I miss it terribly since it went off the air. I decided Dwight Schrute needed to join my drawings of Pam and Jim, and this ended up being […]
Between Robert Downey Jr and Benedict Cumberbatch, everyone wondered if the world really needed ANOTHER Sherlock Holmes. Once the modern update, “Elementary” hit TV, I decided it wasn’t worth subscribing to and didn’t watch it. I heard through the grape […]
As you’ve noticed by now, I’m a huge fan of Ghostbusters. Always have been. I did a drawing of Ray Stantz right out of college and I’m not a huge fan of it, but it sells a lot in my […]
Here’s another drawing I did, entirely in pencil, of a concert photo I took of guitarist Justin Cox from the rock band Fireflight. This photo was from, I think, Uprise Festival 2012 and the drawing was made in December 2013.
I finally bit the bullet and attempted this screenshot from the beginning of the film. I’ve been wanting to draw it for years actually. I worked on this from November 26 thru December 3, 2013.

I recently did a new drawing of Loki and thought it only fair to do a new one of Thor (with more detail than the first drawing). See, when drawing freehand — for me, at least — I have some […]
For the Avengers release last year, I did a series of pencil drawings where I mixed colored pencil and graphite together. I liked the end result, but the truth is that my heart lies with all-pencil drawings. I’m still trying […]
It’s not secret that I’m a huge Ghostbusters fan. So far, I’ve drawn Peter a few times, Ray twice and Egon a couple of times (for the first time this year). Where’s Winston? Nothing personal, Ernie, I just never got […]
Still digging the idea of drawing my own original photo work, I took a photo of one of my favorite vocalists, Andrew Schwab of the band Project 86, from Uprise Festival last month, and decided to give it a shot. […]
Next I chose a photo I had just recently taken at Uprise Fest in September 2013 and decided to draw John Cooper, frontman of the rock band Skillet. I’ve been a fan of their music since first hearing a sampler […]
Continuing a run of artist portrait drawings, I decided to choose Family Force 5’s Solomon Olds, especially after his announcement of retiring from the band. I’ve been a fan of them since first seeing them perform a showcase in Nashville […]
After drawing the recent Jon Foreman portrait, I really liked the feeling of drawing a photo I took and just really liked the idea of doing more drawings like that. So to start, I decided to work on a photo […]
Truth be told, my first pencil portraits were of CCM artists back in the mid 90s. Artists like DC Talk and PFR were frequent subjects as I tried to figure out my way around drawing faces (they’re quite embarrassing to […]
After drawing Bruce Campbell as Sam Axe, I found it only necessary to draw Burn Notice’s central character, Michael Westen. I figured it was timely given the pending demise of the show this month… (And I’m going to miss it!) […]
I have my new sister-in-law to thank for getting me hooked on Burn Notice last fall. I ended up watching all six seasons in a matter of just a couple weeks. Now with it currently running its final episodes, I […]
As being a big fan of the US “The Office” TV show, I had been wanting to draw Steve Carell for a while. In searching for photos of Michael Scott, this lovely picture of Jenna Fischer (Pam on The Office) […]
This drawing, which I worked on a few hours a night from July 30 to August 7, was a new challenge. I won’t reveal just why, but let’s just say… it wasn’t the usual draw-a-picture-of-a-picture kind of portrait. I was […]
On July 1st I started this one of Ben Linus to add another character to the lot of LOST drawings. Well… I hit the background and shirt and found it very tedious and laborious, so I kept starting (and finishing) […]
I hate drawing backgrounds. However, I realize drawing backgrounds is a good practice and usually makes drawings look more complete. I’ve been drawing a portrait since July 1st that I keep putting aside because really all that’s left is a […]
I love drawing stuff related to my favorite film, Ghostbusters, so when it came time to find a photo to use as a source for Egon, the best I could find was a still from Ghostbusters 2 in the courtroom. […]
