As a huge fan of The Office, I do enjoy making new art for the fanbase – they’re also so very supportive, too — probably one of the most supportive fanbases I’ve ever encountered. So, really, it’s a joy to make art for my favorite TV show and share it […]

Gisele Bundchen Freehand Graphite Drawing
In case you haven’t read previous posts I’ve written, I tend to keep a folder of images that, at some point, I thought “That might make a good drawing!” so when I just want to start something new on a whim, or I don’t know what to draw, I tend […]
“WandaVision” Freehand Graphite Drawing
With all the love for the quirky Marvel show “WandaVision,” I decided to do a pencil drawing of Wanda and Vision in the classic TV appearance. It’s a great show and one of the better Marvel shows on Disney Plus.

Gina Carano “Cara Dune” Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
Gina Carano definitely got a raw deal with the overreactions from social media extremists. I wanted to draw a different pose for Gina as her Star Wars character Cara Dune, since so many people were doing renditions of the same images of her. I loved the look of Cara taking […]
Captain America Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
Speaking of Captain America, I’d wanted to do another Avengers: Endgame Cap drawing featuring him wielding mjolnir and I just loved this brief in-air shot of him from his fight with Thanos. I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out too.

Chadwick Boseman Colored Pencil and Graphite Commission Drawing
After the passing of Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman, I was commissioned to do a freehand graphite and colored pencil tribute to the actor and the character he’ll forever be remembered for. You’re missed, Chadwick!
Taylor Swift Freehand Colored Pencil Commissioned Drawing
I take commissioned drawings as time permits, and one recent project was a freehand colored pencil drawing of singer/songwriter Taylor Swift. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/taylor-swift-colored-pencil-drawing-print
The Mandalorian and Grogu Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
With the craze of Disney+’s The Mandalorian, I wanted to do a new drawing of Mando with Grogu (aka “Baby Yoda”) and set out to do a freehand drawing of the two of them flying. I did this one with marker as a base and colored pencils. Purchase link for prints: […]
ALF Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
While my family was revisiting this classic, albeit bizarre, 80’s sitcom, I felt inspired to draw the furry Alien Life Form known as ALF. I drew this one freehand using colored pencils and marker (as a base). It was definitely fun to do. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/alf-colored-pencil-drawing-print You […]
The Witcher Freehand Commissioned Colored Pencil Drawing
From time to time, I do commissioned drawings and this one from 2021 was of Henry Cavill from “The Witcher.” I drew it using colored pencil (and, I think, some marker?) Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/the-witcher-henry-cavill-drawing-print
Ana de Armas Freehand “Beach” Colored Pencil Drawing
How can you not love Ana de Armas after watching Knives Out? She’s so sweet in that movie, and when I saw this image of her, I knew I wanted to try to draw it, and try extra hard to do a good job with it. I used marker as a […]
Han Solo and Chewbacca Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I wanted to do a new original drawing of Han and Chewie from the first Star Wars film, so I actually had started a different portrait of the two in late 2020 before scrapping it and starting over with this one (I actually started back on that first drawing in […]
Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Santa Claus Commission
For the second year in a row, I was given the honor of drawing a photography studio’s own Santa Claus to create trading cards that they’d give to customers who get their photo taken with their Santa Claus. I drew this one freehand from a photo they provided (changed […]
Boba Fett “Mandalorian” Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
With the official return of Boba Fett in The Mandalorian, I decided to fast-track a new drawing of him (Of course he ends up fixing his beat-up armor. haha) I drew this freehand with colored pencils and some marker as a base. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/boba-fett-the-mandalorian-version-full-color-drawing-print
Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
With Clone Wars animated character Ahsoka Tano finally coming to the small screen in live action form – played by Rosario Dawson – in the second season of The Mandalorian, it seemed appropriate to try to capture her in drawn form. Here’s my freehand colored pencil drawing from late 2020. […]
Jordana Brewster Freehand Graphite Pencil Portrait
This freehand graphite portrait of actress Jordana Brewster (I know she’s more known for other things, but I loved her in the TV show “Lethal Weapon”) started out as a lighter sketch, but I later went back and put more detail into it. It’s still less detailed than I prefer […]
Alexandra Daddario Freehand Graphite Pencil Sketch
A couple years ago, I worked on a series of sketches to force myself to draw faster and looser, and this freehand drawing of actress Alexandra Daddario came out of that. Purchase link for the original drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/alexandra-daddario-original-sketch-not-a-print Purchase link for prints of this drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/alexandra-daddario-drawing-print-85-x-11
Ben and Leslie “Parks and Recreation” Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
While The Office is probably tops for my TV show of choice, I also loved Parks and Recreation! I knew I needed to do some Parks fan art, and it seemed like a no-brainer to do a portrait of Ben & Leslie from their wedding. As usual, I drew this freehand using […]
Wakko Warner Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 Freehand 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 Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil 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 Drawing
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 Drawing
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. Purchase link to […]
Thor “Avengers: Endgame” Freehand 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 Freehand Graphite Pencil Portrait Drawing
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 Freehand Graphite 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 […]
Leia Organa “Hoth” with AT-AT Freehand Commissioned Drawing
While I had drawn this image of Leia before already, a client wanted me to draw it again and merge it with a wintery Hoth battle scene. I drew it all freehand in graphite pencil with some colored pencils, too.

Sawyer from “LOST” (Josh Holloway) Freehand 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.
