Knives Out put Ana de Armas on my radar and I’ve been a fan since. I loved her short scene in No Time to Die and knew I needed to try to capture her elegance in a drawing from that movie. I […]

Actress Olga Kurylenko has become one of my favorite actresses to draw, mostly because she often shares my work when I post it. 🙂 I loved her in Quantum of Solace and Oblivion and she’s just always a delight to draw. 🙂 […]
“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 […]
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 […]
I’m a big fan of Daniel Craig’s turn as James Bond 007, with Casino Royale being one of my top 10 films of all time. I drew this collage of images as an ode to Craig’s Bond, working in his […]
Speaking of random images that I thought might make good drawings, I love the source photo of actress Ana de Armas making a face. So cute! She caught my attention in Knives Out and I also loved her in No […]
Expanding on my subjects and continuing to practice graphite pencil work, I chose Italian actress Caterina Murino from Casino Royale next. This was drawn entirely freehand with graphite pencils.

With my love for Casino Royale (and Eva Green!) I wanted to draw a new Bond & Vesper portrait. I decided to use the movie poster featuring the Casino Royale facade with a Vesper portrait (showcasing the love knot jewelry) and […]
I definitely fell for Eva Green with her performance as Vesper in Casino Royale. Eva is among a short list of actresses I really enjoy drawing — but also find challenging in trying to properly capture them. This one was […]
I’ve been trying to mix it up a bit with the all-graphite portraits by adding an element of color to each one again. It seems easier to do this with pop culture-specific pieces, but it can be more challenging with […]
I can imagine that many artists would want to do new things and not repeat past projects. This drawing was the first time I’ve been commissioned to do a drawing I’ve already done before. The original drawing was purchased some […]
Every once in a while, when I’m not sure what to draw but I know I want to do something of interest, I’ll just randomly gravitate towards an image of a favorite character. I loved the James Bond reboot “Casino […]
I started a sketch before this one — and a new detailed pencil portrait — but put those on hold once I picked up my first-ever pad of black paper. I keep a folder of images on my iPad […]
Sometimes after drawing dudes one after another, a guy’s just gotta spend some time looking at a pretty face. 🙂 I’ve drawn Eva Green before — technically twice already (one solo, one with Bond), but I’ve never really been super […]
I find it difficult to part with many of my original drawings, but I realize I can’t keep them all… So I’m cleaning shop a bit. These are original, 9×12 drawings — not prints/copies — so they’re one-of-a-kind, and once […]
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 finishing the Indiana Jones drawing, I decided to return to drawing something from scratch and worked on this image of Sean Connery as James Bond. I’d wanted to draw him, but didn’t want to draw one of the most […]
One of the things I really liked about the James Bond reboot Casino Royale was his vulnerability in falling for Vesper (and how that all inevitably lead to him becoming “James Bond”). I really liked Eva Green in the role, […]
