After having previously done a drawing of Bruce Banner / Hulk and Bruce Wayne / Batman, I decided to do a Peter Parker / The Amazing Spider-Man mash-up. Since I draw freehand, I just try to guess where on the […]

When I was pretty young, my grandfather introduced some great classic movies and actors to me. My parents did as well, but I have vivid memories of my grandfather frequently quoting and talking about Eddie Cantor. Eddie was huge in […]
Welp, I thought Captain America needs his Peggy, so I decided to do a graphite pencil of Hayley Atwell as Peggy from the first Cap movie and decided to color her eyes and lips, however, with Prismacolor pencils. I also […]
Typically, when I work on a drawing, I do one at a time, but after starting a couple commissions at once, I also wanted to do a side project or two just for fun so that I wasn’t spending all […]
After finally seeing Steve Taylor in concert, fulfilling a longtime dream, I impulsively decided to draw one of the photos I took at a May 4th, 2014 concert in Manheim, PA. For the concert’s encore, Steve came out wearing his […]
After the recent Captian America drawing, I received a couple requests for The Winter Soldier. And after seeing and liking the film myself, I loved the idea of attempting it. This one was certainly a challenge, but I loved adding […]
After drawing Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, I wanted to do a pencil drawing of Liv Tyler as the elf Arwen — but I couldn’t find a picture I liked enough to work on. So, while looking for Arwen […]
Usually I just draw something for fun or to fulfill a request, but I decided to work on another Audrey Hepburn drawing with the intent of hanging it in our living room. I do like the final result better than […]
I hate that when I find an older drawing that could use some touching up, I tend to be reminded of how George Lucas has never been satisfied with his Star Wars work and continues to edit them time and […]
With the release of a new Captain America movie, I felt inspired to do a new Captain America drawing. I like the other two I did, but I liked that this poster art (the source photo I used to draw […]
After drawing Tauriel, I decided it’d be cool to do a Gandalf drawing. However, I didn’t quite realize the horror of trying to draw his dang beard until I tried to. Needless to say, I ended up having to take […]
Ever since “discovering” and becoming a hopeless LOST fan in 2012, I’ve enjoyed Evangeline Lilly’s work. I was pretty stoked to learn she was joining the world of The Hobbit and, recently after revisiting The Lord of the Rings film, […]
It’s no secret I’m a big Ghostbusters fan. The movie came out when I was very little and I actually remember going to see it in the theaters a couple of times. With the news last month that Harold Ramis, […]
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 having drawn both Sam Axe and Michael Westen, at the suggestion of a friend of mine, I decided to draw Mike’s Fiona Glenanne. It was a little weird going back to promo photos after having done two screen shots […]
After working on the screenshot from Back To The Future and enjoying it so much, I decided to try my hand at another favorite movie scene. This time I took a screenshot from The Empire Strikes Back, the fifth (or […]
While looking for a good photo of Christopher Lloyd online to draw, I ended up taking a screenshot of one of my favorite scenes in Back To The Future to consider drawing later on. I decided to make it my […]
As an avid Back to the Future fan, I’m surprised I haven’t thought of drawing Doc sooner. And good pics of him are hard to find online. However, I thought this one was out of the ordinary and captured the […]
I’ve been on a Star Wars kick lately and I realized, while I’ve drawn Luke and Han a couple times, I’ve never drawn Leia. So this was an attempt to draw Leia but not using one of the typical iconic […]
After watching Sherlock series 3 and just feeling discontented with my previous Sherlock/Benedict Cumberbatch drawing, I decided to take a stab at a new one. Hopefully this one is better. I worked on it in January 2014 and it’s full […]
After watching it for the first time on Blu-Ray after having seen it while it was in theaters, I decided to work on a pencil drawing of Tom Cruise as Jack Harper in the movie “Oblivion.” I love good sci-fi […]
Speaking of TV shows… I love America’s take on The Office! And I miss it terribly since it went off the air. I decided Dwight Schrute needed to join my drawings of Pam and Jim, and this ended up being […]
Between Robert Downey Jr and Benedict Cumberbatch, everyone wondered if the world really needed ANOTHER Sherlock Holmes. Once the modern update, “Elementary” hit TV, I decided it wasn’t worth subscribing to and didn’t watch it. I heard through the grape […]
Still digging the idea of drawing my own original photo work, I took a photo of one of my favorite vocalists, Andrew Schwab of the band Project 86, from Uprise Festival last month, and decided to give it a shot. […]
Truth be told, my first pencil portraits were of CCM artists back in the mid 90s. Artists like DC Talk and PFR were frequent subjects as I tried to figure out my way around drawing faces (they’re quite embarrassing to […]
I have my new sister-in-law to thank for getting me hooked on Burn Notice last fall. I ended up watching all six seasons in a matter of just a couple weeks. Now with it currently running its final episodes, I […]
As being a big fan of the US “The Office” TV show, I had been wanting to draw Steve Carell for a while. In searching for photos of Michael Scott, this lovely picture of Jenna Fischer (Pam on The Office) […]
This drawing, which I worked on a few hours a night from July 30 to August 7, was a new challenge. I won’t reveal just why, but let’s just say… it wasn’t the usual draw-a-picture-of-a-picture kind of portrait. I was […]
On July 1st I started this one of Ben Linus to add another character to the lot of LOST drawings. Well… I hit the background and shirt and found it very tedious and laborious, so I kept starting (and finishing) […]
I hate drawing backgrounds. However, I realize drawing backgrounds is a good practice and usually makes drawings look more complete. I’ve been drawing a portrait since July 1st that I keep putting aside because really all that’s left is a […]
