I remember being quite surprised to recognize Olivia Wilde as Gozer in Ghostbusters: Afterlife – and I thought it was perfect casting. When it came time to choose characters to draw from the film, I was very interested in taking a stab at Ms. Wilde in her villainous makeup. This […]

Groucho Marx Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
I love the Marx Brothers, but for some reason, this one took an extremely long time ot finish. It was one of those that I would frequently pick up, do a little work, and put back down for an extended period of time. When I finally finished it, though, I […]
Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
I was super thrilled to see the original Ghostbusters return in 2020/2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I did several drawings based on characters and scenes from the movie, and wanted to do one of older Peter Venkman. A good portrait image of him was hard to come by due to their limited screentime, […]
Midge from Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
After taking a chance on the Amazon show “The Marvelous Mrs Maisel” using VidAngel to edit out the frequent profanity, I found it to be a really great show. I decided to take a stab at drawing Rachel Brosnahan as Midge Maisel, which was a little different of a portrait […]
Black Widow Commissioned Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s yet another commissioned Scarett Johansson drawing as Black Widow. I drew this for a client freehand using colored pencils (and I think some marker?) Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black-widow-colored-pencil-drawing-print-commission-black-suit
Mrs. Doubtfire Commissioned Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s a freehand colored pencil drawing I did of Mrs. Doubtfire that was commissioned. This one was definitely challenging — especially that danged flower blazer! (Prints are not available because the client wanted exclusivity for the artwork.)
Yvonne Strahovski Freehand Graphite Portrait Drawing
I love Yvonne in Chuck, and have enjoyed seeing her in shows like 24: Live Another Day and the movie Tomorrow War. She’s underrated, if I may say so. I enjoy drawing her, too. I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/yvonne-strahovski-drawing-print-the-handmaids-tale-the-tomorrow-war-chuck To purchase […]
Phoebe and Egon Spengler’s Ghost Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
With that special, emotional ending to 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I decided to do a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Phoebe and Egon from the end scene. Last year, I went to a convention where I met Bob Gunton who had filled in for the late Harold Ramis’ character and […]
Leigh Nash Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
Leigh is an incredible singer and artist, and a just an all-around wonderful person. I had drawn Leigh – as singer of the band Sixpence None the Richer – decades ago for my sister-in-law, who is a big fan, and then again a couple times in an attempt to create […]
Florence Pugh “Yelena” Freehand Colored Pencil “Hawkeye” Commissioned Drawing
A follow-up Florence Pugh as Yelena drawing was commissioned from the same customer, and this time they wanted her posed like in the promotional images for the movie. Before I put in the red “X” background, I scanned it in to give future buyers of prints of the drawing an […]
Spider-Man Trio Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing

Evangeline Lilly Freehand Graphite Portrait
Evie is just fun to draw. I can’t help it. I was a little bummed I couldn’t fit both of her full hands in the drawing, but I still had a lot of fun with this one. I drew it freehand in graphite pencil. Link to buy prints: […]
James Bond “No Time to Die” ‘All the Time in the World’ Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
“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 colored pencil. It now hangs in our living room above […]
Alice Eve Freehand Graphite Drawing
Another beautiful face for sure is actress Alice Eve. I did find her likeness a tough one to capture just right – so I’m due to try another one of her – but I think it still turned out ok. This was drawn freehand in graphite pencil. To order […]
Anne Hathaway Freehand Graphite Drawing
Took a stab at another freehand graphite drawing of Anne Hathaway. I really liked the composition of this one. Order prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/anne-hathaway-drawing-print
Black Widow Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
A client who often had me draw Scarlett Johanssen for them picked this image as my next commission. I actually really like the dynamic of looking through the fence, along with the lighting. I drew this one freehand (as all of my work) with colored pencils from a still photo […]

Ray, Peter and Winston from Ghostbusters Afterlife Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Of course, with the reveal that the original Ghostbusters trio returned for the film’s finale… I also knew I wanted to draw these guys together. Some are upset I didn’t include Egon, too, but this shot in the film, with their expressions, didn’t include Egon. It wasn’t until the camera […]
James Bond “No Time to Die” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 to draw it. I still think the original scene / […]
Mini-Puft Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
With the release of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” – AKA the bonafide Ghostbusters 3 – I was looking forward t0 making some all-new Ghostbusters themed art. The first one? Adorable little Mini-Puft! I drew this one freehand using colored pencils and markers — it was certainly a lot of fun to do. […]
Han and Chewie Star Wars Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
This one has a somewhat interesting story behind it. I started this one as a new Han and Chewie drawing for myself, but I ended up not being too thrilled with it, so I started a different one instead. Eventually, however, I went back and finished this one, and I […]
Jennifer Love Hewitt Freehand Graphite Drawing
For another drawing that was a random effort and practice, I drew this freehand graphite drawing of actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. The original drawing actually sold already. However, prints are still available https://johndibiaseart.com/jennifer-love-hewitt-graphite-pencil-drawing-print-85-x-11
Jennifer Connelly Freehand Graphite Drawing
Ever since 1991’s “The Rocketeer,” I’ve loved Jennifer Connelly as an actress. I’ve tried drawing her a few times, but I was never satisfied with how they turned out. This was one of those on-a-whim drawings and it was a fun one to do. I drew it freehand using […]
Bogart and Bacall Freehand Graphite Portrait
A couple years ago, I binge-watched a bunch of Humphrey Bogart movies for the first time, and was a total fan by the end. I drew Bogie once before, but didn’t love how it turned out. I decided to try again, but this time with his wife Lauren Bacall in […]
James Bond / Daniel Craig Freehand Graphite Collage
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 character’s two great loves – Vesper and Madeline – and […]
Freehand Colored Pencil Commission of Black Widow
I have done quite a few commissioned Scarlett/Black Widow drawings for a customer, but since I actually like drawing Scarlett, it’s not really a problem. This was drawn freehand with colored pencils.

Freehand Graphite Drawing of Evangeline Lilly
I have to admit that one of my favorite people to draw is actress Evangeline Lilly (LOST). So sometimes, when I’m not sure what to draw and I just want the challenge of trying to capture Evie’s likeness (again), I take a stab at a new portrait of her. I […]
Egon and Janine Colored Pencil Ghostbusters Drawing
Any diehard Ghosthead has greatly missed the passing of Harold Ramis. Even 2021’s “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” film honored his legacy as Egon Spengler. I drew this one to honor him, as I loved the candid moment between Harold and Annie Potts’ Janine Melnitz. This one was done all in colored pencil […]
“Date Mike” from The Office freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Another piece I did in preparation for the Office Super Fan Fest is this freehand colored pencil drawing of Steve Carell as Michael Scott in “The Office,” specifically when he was “Date Mike” For this I used some marker as a base for parts of it and went […]
