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.

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.

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

Jennifer Love Hewitt Freehand Colored Pencil Sketch
This colored pencil-on-toned tan freehand drawing of Jennifer Love Hewitt is actually from 2018, but someone had requested a print of the drawing, so I didn’t scan it in until last year. This is from a series of sketched I did trying out colored pencil on toned tan paper. Purchase […]

Rebecca Romijn Freehand Graphite Pencil Sketch

The Office’s Jim and Pam Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
This is one of the most iconic Jim and Pam moments from TV’s “The Office.” As part of the annual “Songs We’ve Been Trying To Tell You About (and Others We Haven’t)” compilation series for my website, JFH, I decided to continue the pop culture reference covers by drawing Jim […]
Colored Pencil Dog Commission
If you know my work, you know I typically stick to people portraits. It’s what I enjoy most, for sure. But for this one, a customer wanted an original colored pencil drawings of their pet dogs, so I obliged. While it was fun to draw the little pooches, I have […]
Drawing of Sun and Jin from LOST
As we continued rewatching LOST, I wanted to expand my character portraits and decided to choose a different kind of moment, this time with Sun and Jin. We ended up stalling in our rewatch of the show, but I do hope to do more LOST drawings in the future…
