My third attempt at doing a full, quick sketch in one night went to Peggy Carter from Captain America: The First Avenger — a character that’s been making waves on TV in the show “Agent Carter.” This one was pretty fun, but tricky to get the likeness down quickly.

More Original Pieces Up for Sale
It’s time for me to part with some more of my original works. I store them in my portfolios and I realize they’re just being “wasted” hidden in between pages of other hidden works — when people can be enjoying them on their walls or wherever. The pricing depends on […]
A Handful of Original Drawings Now On Sale
I find it difficult to part with many of my original drawings, but I realize I can’t keep them all… So I’m cleaning shop a bit. These are original, 9×12 drawings — not prints/copies — so they’re one-of-a-kind, and once they’re gone, they’re gone! What is available: 1. Thor / […]
Chris Evans in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Pencil Drawing
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 this) had Chris’s face in full. And, again, I used […]
Tom Hiddleston as Loki in “Thor: The Dark World” Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
For the Avengers release last year, I did a series of pencil drawings where I mixed colored pencil and graphite together. I liked the end result, but the truth is that my heart lies with all-pencil drawings. I’m still trying to improve my pencil skills, so I’m continuing to work […]
Iron Man Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
At the request of someone, I took this challenge because I thought it actually sounded like fun — and would be a challenge. And indeed it was! I laid this drawing of Iron Man out in light pencil first and then went through with various Prismacolor Premiere colored pencils to […]

To answer the call of many a beloved fellow superhero nerd on Instagram and Facebook, I added the colored pencil / graphite treatments of Hawkeye and Black Widow to the mix to complete my Avengers series (sorry Fury…).

Full Color Captain America Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Graphite pencil is my comfort zone. I started out there, I feel most comfortable there. But it’s pictures like this one that inspire me to go color. It’s a vibrant source photo (a promo for The Avengers movie) and it just aches to be drawn in color. So I decided […]
Tom Hiddleston “Loki” Freehand Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing
As part of my Avengers series, I answered a few requests by working on this drawing of Tom Hiddleston as Loki over the summer. Like the other Avengers sketches, it was created using mostly regular graphite pencils with some colored pencil for his cape.

Process of a Portrait: Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)
My latest project is Mark Ruffalo and Hulk which takes my personal experimentation of mixed media to the next level. Here, I decided to do Ruffalo/Bruce Banner entirely in pencil and then fill in Hulk completely in color. The other challenge was merging two different pictures for the first time […]
Chris Hemsworth “Thor” Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
The third in this series was Thor, which came together relatively quickly. However, as you can probably gather by looking at the drawing, the details in his suit were a bit more time consuming. Again, I used pencil as well prismacolor pencils for the red cape. (This scan doesn’t quite […]
Robert Downey, Jr. as “Iron Man” Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
After Cap, I decided to tackle another Avenger. This time, I decided to aim for filling in Tony Stark’s “arc reactor” tech with blue colored pencil. The portrait of Tony… didn’t come easy. I worked and reworked and reworked this drawing and almost gave up on it at one point, […]
Chris Evans “Captain America” Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
Inspired by seeing “The Avengers” film, I got the sudden urge to try a pencil / colored pencil hybrid drawing. I was pretty pleased with the results, actually, so it encouraged me to keep this personal experiment going with further drawings…and continuing the Avengers theme! I used a varying degree […]
