I remember when they had announced Twilight’s Robert Pattinson would become the next Batman… it sounded like a cruel joke. However, the guy actually made a pretty decent Batman when the film The Batman released with him donning the cowl. I drew this in colored pencil as a commissioned piece for a […]
Olivia Wilde as Gozer Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I remember being quite surprised to recognize Olivia Wilde as Gozer in Ghostbusters: Afterlife – and I thought it was perfect casting. When it came time to choose characters to draw from the film, I was very interested in taking a stab at Ms. Wilde in her villainous makeup. This […]
Groucho Marx Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
I love the Marx Brothers, but for some reason, this one took an extremely long time ot finish. It was one of those that I would frequently pick up, do a little work, and put back down for an extended period of time. When I finally finished it, though, I […]
The Witcher Video Game Commissioned Colored Pencil Portrait
And now for something completely different. One of the neatest things about doing commissions is that it gives me a chance to step outside of my comfort zone, or to venture into subject matter I won’t otherwise ever draw. I did this freehand colored pencil drawing of characters from the […]
Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
I was super thrilled to see the original Ghostbusters return in 2020/2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I did several drawings based on characters and scenes from the movie, and wanted to do one of older Peter Venkman. A good portrait image of him was hard to come by due to their limited screentime, […]
Midge from Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
After taking a chance on the Amazon show “The Marvelous Mrs Maisel” using VidAngel to edit out the frequent profanity, I found it to be a really great show. I decided to take a stab at drawing Rachel Brosnahan as Midge Maisel, which was a little different of a portrait […]
Black Widow Commissioned Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s yet another commissioned Scarett Johansson drawing as Black Widow. I drew this for a client freehand using colored pencils (and I think some marker?) Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black-widow-colored-pencil-drawing-print-commission-black-suit
Mrs. Doubtfire Commissioned Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s a freehand colored pencil drawing I did of Mrs. Doubtfire that was commissioned. This one was definitely challenging — especially that danged flower blazer! (Prints are not available because the client wanted exclusivity for the artwork.)
Yvonne Strahovski Freehand Graphite Portrait Drawing
I love Yvonne in Chuck, and have enjoyed seeing her in shows like 24: Live Another Day and the movie Tomorrow War. She’s underrated, if I may say so. I enjoy drawing her, too. I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/yvonne-strahovski-drawing-print-the-handmaids-tale-the-tomorrow-war-chuck To purchase […]
Phoebe and Egon Spengler’s Ghost Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
With that special, emotional ending to 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I decided to do a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Phoebe and Egon from the end scene. Last year, I went to a convention where I met Bob Gunton who had filled in for the late Harold Ramis’ character and […]
Leigh Nash Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
Leigh is an incredible singer and artist, and a just an all-around wonderful person. I had drawn Leigh – as singer of the band Sixpence None the Richer – decades ago for my sister-in-law, who is a big fan, and then again a couple times in an attempt to create […]
Florence Pugh “Yelena” Freehand Colored Pencil “Hawkeye” Commissioned Drawing
A follow-up Florence Pugh as Yelena drawing was commissioned from the same customer, and this time they wanted her posed like in the promotional images for the movie. Before I put in the red “X” background, I scanned it in to give future buyers of prints of the drawing an […]
Spider-Man Trio Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Following the sheer awesomeness that was Spider-Man: No Way Home, I knew I wanted to draw the three Spider-Man’s in action together. Here is my freehand colored pencil and marker attempt at it. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/the-spider-mans-in-no-way-home-colored-pencil-drawing-print
Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova Commissioned Freehand Drawing
As another commissioned piece, I did this freehand colored pencil drawing of Florence Pugh as Yelena in Black Widow (or the show Hawkeye, actually?) Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/yelena-florence-pugh-in-hawkeye-colored-pencil-drawing-print-commission
Evangeline Lilly Freehand Graphite Portrait
Evie is just fun to draw. I can’t help it. I was a little bummed I couldn’t fit both of her full hands in the drawing, but I still had a lot of fun with this one.
I drew it freehand in graphite pencil. Link to buy prints: […]

James Bond “No Time to Die” ‘All the Time in the World’ Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
“No Time to Die” was a great farewell for Daniel Craig as James Bond, so it definitely inspired me to do a couple pieces centered around the movie. I drew this one from the finale of the movie freehand in colored pencil. It now hangs in our living room above […]
Alice Eve Freehand Graphite Drawing
Another beautiful face for sure is actress Alice Eve. I did find her likeness a tough one to capture just right – so I’m due to try another one of her – but I think it still turned out ok. This was drawn freehand in graphite pencil. To order […]
Anne Hathaway Freehand Graphite Drawing
Took a stab at another freehand graphite drawing of Anne Hathaway. I really liked the composition of this one. Order prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/anne-hathaway-drawing-print
Black Widow Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
A client who often had me draw Scarlett Johanssen for them picked this image as my next commission. I actually really like the dynamic of looking through the fence, along with the lighting. I drew this one freehand (as all of my work) with colored pencils from a still photo […]

Ray, Peter and Winston from Ghostbusters Afterlife Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Of course, with the reveal that the original Ghostbusters trio returned for the film’s finale… I also knew I wanted to draw these guys together. Some are upset I didn’t include Egon, too, but this shot in the film, with their expressions, didn’t include Egon. It wasn’t until the camera […]
James Bond “No Time to Die” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
It’s rare where I’m watching a movie for the first time and upon seeing a scene, I just know I want to draw it. I’ll never forget seeing this shot in No Time to Die and just knowing that second I wanted to draw it. I still think the original scene / […]
Mini-Puft Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
With the release of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” – AKA the bonafide Ghostbusters 3 – I was looking forward t0 making some all-new Ghostbusters themed art. The first one? Adorable little Mini-Puft! I drew this one freehand using colored pencils and markers — it was certainly a lot of fun to do.
[…]
Han and Chewie Star Wars Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
This one has a somewhat interesting story behind it. I started this one as a new Han and Chewie drawing for myself, but I ended up not being too thrilled with it, so I started a different one instead. Eventually, however, I went back and finished this one, and I […]
Jennifer Love Hewitt Freehand Graphite Drawing
For another drawing that was a random effort and practice, I drew this freehand graphite drawing of actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. The original drawing actually sold already. However, prints are still available https://johndibiaseart.com/jennifer-love-hewitt-graphite-pencil-drawing-print-85-x-11
Jennifer Connelly Freehand Graphite Drawing
Ever since 1991’s “The Rocketeer,” I’ve loved Jennifer Connelly as an actress. I’ve tried drawing her a few times, but I was never satisfied with how they turned out. This was one of those on-a-whim drawings and it was a fun one to do. I drew it freehand using […]
Bogart and Bacall Freehand Graphite Portrait
A couple years ago, I binge-watched a bunch of Humphrey Bogart movies for the first time, and was a total fan by the end. I drew Bogie once before, but didn’t love how it turned out. I decided to try again, but this time with his wife Lauren Bacall in […]
