How can you not love the Animaniacs – or Wakko Warner? I drew this a VERY long time ago, probably in college, and it’s made with colored pencils. I decided to scan it more recently to offer prints to anyone interested. It’s drawn from a still from one of my […]
Indiana Jones and Henry Jones Colored Pencil Drawing
After the passing of Sean Connery, I wanted to do a tribute piece from my third-favorite movie of all-time, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I toiled over this one for quite some time, and used multiple references to try to get the best looks for the guys… I definitely felt […]
Jim and Pam at Niagara “The Office” Freehand Graphite Drawing
Have I mentioned I love The Office? This was a fun one to draw of Jim and Pam at Niagara Falls for their wedding. I love that look Jim gives the camera — especially after Pam has her head on his shoulder (like that iconic Season One moment when he […]
Mission:Impossible Collage Drawing
In 2020, I had wanted to draw a collage of stunt moments from the Mission:Impossible movie series starring Tom Cruise. I started one, using a promo image from Fallout as a source, but I just couldn’t get the image of Tom to turn out right. I ended up abandoning it and selling it […]
Chewie (Guinea Pig) Freehand Graphite Drawing
In 2005, the weekend that Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith released, my wife and I came home with a darling new baby boy… guinea pig (May 21, 2005). And so we named him Chewie. Chewie was my best pal for the four years we had him before a […]
Bryce Dallas Howard Freehand Colored Pencil Portrait
Here is another portrait I really struggled on. I drew this freehand in colored pencil (with maybe some marker as a base, I don’t really remember. I really struggled to get her likeness just right. I shelved this one many, many times and almost tore it up and gave up […]
Jennifer Garner Freehand Pencil Portrait
This one was definitely challenging. It’s one of those things where… no matter how many times you tweak it, something looks off. Needless to say, this freehand graphite drawing of Jennifer Garner didn’t come out quite like I’d hoped, but hopefully someone out there likes it. 🙂 Etsy link to […]
Thor “Avengers: Endgame” Colored Pencil Drawing
After drawing Cap and Iron Man from the climax of Avengers: Endgame, I knew I needed to draw Thor, too, but he never got a really iconic close-up like his fellow heroes did. The closest may be this moment before he charges the ultimate foe, Thanos. (I do have an idea […]
Jessica Chastain Pencil Portrait
I’ve said this before, but in case you missed that post (ha!), I tend to search for images of people to find ones that inspire me to draw and sometimes I find more than one image at a time. For people like Mario Cotillard, I ended up doing two new […]
Hayley Atwell Pencil Portrait
There are just some people I love to draw. Hayley Atwell is one of them. 🙂 I loved her as Peggy Carter in the Marvel films, and I can’t wait to see her in the next Mission: Impossible movies! Anyway, as usual, I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. This […]

Sawyer from “LOST” (Josh Holloway) Graphite Drawing
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. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/847735272/josh-holloway-as-sawyer-in-lost-pencil
Jennifer Love Hewitt Colored Pencil Sketch
This colored pencil-on-toned tan freehand drawing of Jennifer Love Hewitt is actually from 2018, but someone had requested a print of the drawing, so I didn’t scan it in until last year. This is from a series of sketched I did trying out colored pencil on toned tan paper. Etsy […]

Sketch of Rebecca Rebecca Romijn
Here’s a more rough, quicker sketch of the lovely Rebecca Romijn. This was a fun one to do. It is still, however, tough to do a rougher drawing and consider it done. 🙂 https://www.etsy.com/listing/768194552/original-sketch-of-rebecca-romijn-not-a
Colored Pencil Drawing of “The Office”‘s Jim and Pam
This is one of the most iconic Jim and Pam moments from TV’s “The Office.” As part of the annual “Songs We’ve Been Trying To Tell You About (and Others We Haven’t)” compilation series for my website, JFH, I decided to continue the pop culture reference covers by drawing Jim […]
Colored Pencil Dog Commission
If you know my work, you know I typically stick to people portraits. It’s what I enjoy most, for sure. But for this one, a customer wanted an original colored pencil drawings of their pet dogs, so I obliged. While it was fun to draw the little pooches, I have […]
Drawing of Sun and Jin from LOST
As we continued rewatching LOST, I wanted to expand my character portraits and decided to choose a different kind of moment, this time with Sun and Jin. We ended up stalling in our rewatch of the show, but I do hope to do more LOST drawings in the future…

Freehand Graphite “Utica Raid” Office Drawing
As you know by now, I love The Office, so I’m often looking for new drawings to inspire me. This one was indeed a challenge because I tried to fit all three guys onto one paper and ended up not being able to fit in all of Jim’s face. To make […]
Colored Pencil and Graphite Bond and Vesper Drawing

Uma Thurman Freehand Graphite Portrait
“Uma, Jerry… UMA!” I have to admit I haven’t seen a ton of Uma’s films, but she’s definitely memorable in the ones I’ve seen her in (especially “Gattaca”). I knew it was due time to give drawing her likeness a shot. This one is drawn entirely freehand with graphite pencils. […]

Christina Hendricks Colored Pencil and Marker Sketch
I had attempted a graphite drawing of actress Christina Hendricks, but I just wasn’t happy with it. I ended up going for a quicker, slightly rougher marker and colored pencil sketch of Christina that you see here. It was different than what I normally do, but it was an enjoyable […]
