Here’s a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing I did of Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I love the LOTR movies but had never done a real LOTR themed drawing (I did do a couple Hobbit themed ones, however). I was really […]
Sebastian Stan Commissioned Freehand Drawing
As a commissioned project, I did a freehand Sebastian Stan graphite drawing with a hint of colored pencil for his lips and eyes. I was on the fence about the color for the lips, but the client loved it, so it all worked out. For offering prints in my shop, […]
Captain America (Chris Evans) Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
I can’t remember the last time I got as excited during a moment in a movie than when Thor’s hammer, mjolnir, flew into Captain America’s hand during the epic climactic battle in Avengers: Endgame. Such an incredible moment! I knew right away I wanted to capture it somehow and draw […]
Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) Pencil Drawing
By far one of the best things about Parks and Recreation is Nick Offerman’s Ron Swanson. This pencil portrait was my attempt at capturing Ron’s confrontational mug. 🙂 (Freehand graphite drawing) Etsy store link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/733044717/print-of-graphite-pencil-drawing-of-ron Etsy store link for the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/721054758/original-graphite-pencil-drawing-of-ron
Marisa Miller Pencil Portrait
Marisa Miller is probably most known for being a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. I wanted to draw her, but it was tough to find a source photo that wasn’t TOO provocative. Ha! But still, this one was a bit flirty regardless. 🙂 I drew this one freehand as well […]
Bridget Regan Pencil Drawing
Bridget Regan caught my attention in the show White Collar, so I’ve drawn her a couple times. I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. Etsy store link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/912392466/bridget-regan-drawing-print
Pom Klementieff Graphite Drawing
I loved Pom Klementieff in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War, and I’m really excited to see her in the upcoming Mission: Impossible sequels. I picked this image to draw because I was intrigued by the emotion and light in the photo. I drew this one […]
Spider-Man Tom Holland Colored Pencil, Marker and Graphite Drawing
This one runs the full spectrum of media creation for me. For several years now, I’ve been drawing album cover art for free MP3 compilations my site JFH has been compiling and giving away. For this one, I wanted to do a drawing of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man with the […]
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
Abigail Spencer Graphite Pencil Portrait
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 […]
The Real Ghostbusters Commissioned Drawing
Every once in a while, you get a very specific commission project. This one was done for a Ghostbusters fan who wanted a collage of The Real Ghostbusters characters in a very particular way. I drew in a little larger than I usually do with colored pencil and marker. […]
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 Freehand Drawing
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. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/710104375/drawing-print-of-heidi-klum Etsy link for the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/696988016/heidi-klum-original-sketch-not-a-print
“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 […]
“Black Widow” Scarlett Johansson Colored Pencil Drawing
With the release of Avengers: Endgame, I thought it’d be fitting to do a new, full color “Black Widow” Scarlett Johansson colored pencil drawing. I drew this one entirely freehand (as usual) and used some marker as a base for the colored pencil (Something I don’t always do). Etsy link […]
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. Etsy links for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/687814022/drawing-print-of-marion-cotillard
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 […]
