This was another one of those drawings that took forever to finish. I forget exactly why, but I kept shelving it and coming back to it later. I believe it was a candid photo Karen Gillan had posted of her […]
Avengers
This freehand graphite drawing of Brie Larson is the perfect example of a portrait I started and then just keep setting aside for months on end. I think it took the better part of 2022 or 2023 to get this […]
Black Widow was a frequent subject of commission work I’ve done for one client. (But who could get tired of drawing Scarlett Johansson? 🙂 ). I drew this still from 2012’s Avengers freehand in colored pencil (and probably some marker) […]
Although it means not getting the pleasure of meeting the celebrity in person, I caved and sent in my freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Karen Gillan to be signed by her. I’m glad I did, […]
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
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.

Here’s another freehand pencil portrait that took forever to finish. Again, if you’ve read some of my blogs, you’ll know I tend to randomly start drawings that seem to interest me in the moment, even if I know it won’t […]
With a new Black Widow movie (finally) out, I decided to do a new freehand colored pencil drawing of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. I love her in this role! Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black-widow-colored-pencil-drawing-print
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 […]
If you’ve been following my work at all, you’ll know I’m a Captain America fan. I especially loved the Steve and Peggy love story, and really loved the happy ending their story was given in “Avengers: Endgame.” I really wanted […]
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 […]
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 […]
With the release of (and love for) “Avengers: Endgame,” I wanted to do a new drawing of Rocket Raccoon. I used colored pencils and marker to do this one, and decided to add in a graphite drawing of Groot behind […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I loved Pom Klementieff in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War, and I’m really excited to see her in the upcoming Mission: Impossible sequels. I picked this image to draw because I was intrigued by the […]
I still think it’s hard to believe Karen Gillan is under all that make up as Nebula in the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Granted, Doctor Who fans know her as Amy Pond (I’ve never watched the show), […]
With the release of Avengers: Endgame, I thought it’d be fitting to do a new, full color “Black Widow” Scarlett Johansson colored pencil drawing. I drew this one entirely freehand (as usual) and used some marker as a base for […]
Speaking of different poses that stand out, I loved the source photo I used of actress Zoe Saldana for this drawing. It’s unique and showcases her beauty! I drew this freehand with colored pencils (and I think some markers as […]
With the buzz over the first female-led Marvel movie last March, I set out to create this mixture of marker (as a base) and colored pencil drawing of Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. I’m a purist, so I prefer using […]
I love Iron Man, Avengers, the MCU – it’s all gravy to me. Sure, they’re not perfect movies, but a lot of them are excellent, and I truly believe they achieved something very special with the first run of movies […]
From time to time, I take commission work and every once in a great while, the subject matter lines up with my interests. 🙂 I love the Captain America movies and the Avengers, so it was fun to get to […]
One actor we hoped to see at the Keystone Comic Con convention who inevitably cancelled is the ever versatile Andy Serkis — known best as Gollum from Lord of the Rings, but also as the voice and performance of Caesar […]
Another selling point for our trek to Boston was to meet actress Evangeline Lilly — who is most famous for her role as Wasp in Ant-Man and the Wasp and as Kate Austen in the show LOST. Evangeline has also […]
In an effort to do more sketches more often of various people, a subject like the beautiful Zoe Saldana is an easy one to gravitate toward. This drawing was done freehand (like the others) with graphite pencils. Link for prints: […]
Continuing with an unofficial series of heroes with their rides, I followed Jyn with this colored pencil drawing of Chris Pratt as Star-Lord / Peter Quill from “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2” and his spaceship, The Milano. This one […]
Marvel’s just knocking each movie out of the park, and Benedict Cumberbatch was an inspired choice to play Doctor Strange. This is a freehand colored pencil drawing, and it was quite a challenge. I used a little bit of white […]
Freehand colored pencil drawing of actress Evangeline Lilly (every artist needs a muse, right?) Fun fact about this one… thanks to the incredible graciousness of an art shop customer, I was able to get the original version of this drawing […]
After seeing so many inspiring works online, it’s tough to just resort to straight portraits. And after seeing Ant-Man and liking it, it’s tough to resort to a portrait of just Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang or just him suited up […]
