(new updated version) In 2011, after I started getting back into drawing regularly, I did a freehand graphite drawing of Tony Shalhoub as the OCD detective, Adrian Monk. Over time, though, I felt pretty unimpressed by the work I’d done […]

I’m definitely a fan of the show Seinfeld and Jerry’s standup comedy. While this foursome were pretty terrible people on the show, the show didn’t take itself seriously, making it pretty entertaining to watch. I drew Jerry once by himself and […]
In trying to find new and different people to draw, I thought I’d draw S.H.I.E.L.D’s own Maria Hill – AKA Cobie Smulders – but as herself. I’ve never watched How I Met Your Mother (beyond the pilot episode), but I enjoy […]
I am #sorrynotsorry about my love for drawing Stana Katic. Part of it is that I just really enjoy drawing her, and another part is that sometimes I’m just not satisfied enough with the previous drawing. But, for the most […]
I forget what exactly inspired me to rework/update my Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet from LOST drawing, but for a long time, I knew the drawing could be better. So, for these changes, I didn’t redraw the drawing, but took the […]
How cute is Reese Witherspoon?! Like, seriously?? Ha. I saw the source photo I used to draw this drawing online and knew I had to draw it. I’m pretty sure it ended up being one of those long-running projects where […]
After binge rewatching the entire Monk series once again, I felt inspired to try to draw Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk again. So this one was done freehand with all graphite pencils. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/monk-tony-shalhoub-drawing-print Link to purchase the […]
Speaking of updated drawings, I think I first reworked this portrait of Jenna Fischer before attempting the colored pencil one of her and John Krasinski. I just wanted to add more contrast with her hair and eyes, and try to […]
I’m regularly discontented with my work. And even in instances like this when I attempt to update an older drawing, I’m often still not quite able to get it to where I truly want it. I had revisited my Jenna […]
After seeing her in Knives Out, I became an instant fan of Ana de Armas. She was just lovable in it. I found this cute pose online and thought it’d make for a great portrait. I drew this one freehand in […]
Expanding on my love for the US version of The Office, I decided to tackle another romantic image, this time involving Angela and Dwight during the series finale at their wedding. This was, as usual, drawn freehand with graphite pencil on […]
As a huge fan of the US version of The Office, it’s too tempting to keep drawing iconic moments from the show (plus the fanbase is pretty supportive!) Although the last season Steve Carell performed the character Michael Scott is […]
After redrawing Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank, I felt inspired to revisit another older drawing. Having originally drawn it during a dry spell around 2004, I thought it fitting to revisit this photo / drawing of Ray from Ghostbusters. (And, […]
Today, February 14 (Yes, Valentine’s Day), marks 10 years since I wandered into an art store for the first time in years and rekindled my love for drawing. 10 years! See, in high school I fell in love with drawing […]
I think I did a portrait or two between my Buzz and Woody drawings, but after drawing Buzz, I know I HAD to draw Woody. I also used marker and colored pencils for this one, too. Purchase link for prints: […]
After revisiting the Toy Story world with the new release of Toy Story 4, I felt inspired to draw a couple of Toy Story-themed “portraits.” As usual, I drew them freehand, but I used some marker as a base for […]
When I was a teenager, I did a sketch of Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank in “The Truman Show.” Truth be told, it wasn’t a BAD drawing, but I felt the need, more recently, to try to re-draw it from […]
And my introduction to Evangeline Lilly was in the show LOST – a show I didn’t become a fan of myself until first watching it in its entirety on Amazon Prime or NetFlix. I’ve since watched the whole show through […]
My introduction to Jaimie Alexander was in her work as Lady Sif in the Marvel movie Thor (and I’m thrilled to hear she’ll be back in the next Thor movie!). I then became more of a fan after seeing […]
As a fan of MacGyver since probably my pre-teens, I jumped at the chance to meet Richard Dean Anderson at a convention in November, 2019. After a weird fire drill almost squashed our attempts to meet him, RDA graciously hung […]
What Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. began with the first Iron Man film not only made me a fan of the character that I otherwise had never heard of, but had made me a fan of Marvel […]
My dad has been a lifelong fan of Godzilla – a love he has even passed on to my son. For his birthday, I drew him this freehand colored pencil drawing of Godzilla from the King of the Monsters movie […]
I actually first discovered Hilarie Burton through her work on White Collar, and I loved her contributions to that show. And when I got into the short-lived but fantastic Lethal Weapon TV show, I loved seeing her appear there as […]
I’m sure I’ve said this before, but oftentimes when I’m between drawings – and often especially between grueling projects – I tend to take on less stressful projects just to keep practicing my craft (Of course, they can sometimes become […]
One comedic duo I’ve loved since childhood was easily Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. I found a DVD set of a good chunk of their films and decided to binge-watch most of them. Out of that binging, I decided […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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) Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/print-of-graphite-pencil-drawing-of-ron-swanson-nick-offerman-from-parks-and-recreation-85-x-11 Purchase link for the […]
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 […]
