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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Leonardo DiCaprio “Inception” Cobb Commissioned Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing I did of Leonardo DiCaprio as “Cobb” in 2010’s “Inception.” It was a commissioned piece for an online customer. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/leonardo-dicaprio-in-inception-colored-pencil-drawing-print-11-x-85
James Bond and Vesper Freehand Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing
With my love for Casino Royale (and Eva Green!) I wanted to draw a new Bond & Vesper portrait. I decided to use the movie poster featuring the Casino Royale facade with a Vesper portrait (showcasing the love knot jewelry) and a rare promo image of Bond to make something unique. […]
Freehand Colored Pencil Wedding Portrait
It’s true – I don’t just draw celebrities and pop culture characters. On occasion, as time permits, I do commissioned portraits for people. This was a freehand colored pencil portrait on 9×12 paper for a client.
Rocket Raccoon Colored Pencil “Avengers: Endgame” Freehand Drawing
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 him, since he is who Rocket probably loved – and […]
Steve Carell as “Prison Mike” in “The Office” Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
As a big fan of The Office, I felt it was nearly a must to draw Michael Scott’s “Prison Mike” persona. I’ve seen a lot of artistic representations of this image / character, but I caved and decided to take a stab at my own. I drew it freehand with […]
Jerry Seinfeld, Kramer, George and Elaine Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I’m definitely a fan of the show Seinfeld and Jerry’s standup comedy. While this foursome were pretty terrible people on the show, the show didn’t take itself seriously, making it pretty entertaining to watch. I drew Jerry once by himself and wasn’t happy with how it turned out, but I wanted […]
Cobie Smulders Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 Cobie as an actress. This photo is a little steamy […]
Stana Katic Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I am #sorrynotsorry about my love for drawing Stana Katic. Part of it is that I just really enjoy drawing her, and another part is that sometimes I’m just not satisfied enough with the previous drawing. But, for the most part, I just love drawing her. I became a fan […]
Updated Freehand Colored Pencil Jim and Pam The Office Drawing
I’m regularly discontented with my work. And even in instances like this when I attempt to update an older drawing, I’m often still not quite able to get it to where I truly want it. I had revisited my Jenna Fischer drawing some time before this one, and revisited my […]
Woody Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Portrait
I think I did a portrait or two between my Buzz and Woody drawings, but after drawing Buzz, I know I HAD to draw Woody. I also used marker and colored pencils for this one, too. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/woody-toy-story-colored-pencil-drawing-print
Buzz Lightyear Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Portrait
After revisiting the Toy Story world with the new release of Toy Story 4, I felt inspired to draw a couple of Toy Story-themed “portraits.” As usual, I drew them freehand, but I used some marker as a base for Buzz before finishing it in colored pencil. It was still […]
Autographed Freehand Colored Pencil MacGyver Drawing
As a fan of MacGyver since probably my pre-teens, I jumped at the chance to meet Richard Dean Anderson at a convention in November, 2019. After a weird fire drill almost squashed our attempts to meet him, RDA graciously hung around to meet fans and pose for photos later in […]
Iron Man “Endgame” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 and the Avengers (and it made me realize Captain America […]
Godzilla: King of the Monsters Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
My dad has been a lifelong fan of Godzilla – a love he has even passed on to my son. For his birthday, I drew him this freehand colored pencil drawing of Godzilla from the King of the Monsters movie on black “artagain” paper. It was a fun challenge to […]
Aragorn from Lord of the Rings Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing I did of Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I love the LOTR movies but had never done a real LOTR themed drawing (I did do a couple Hobbit themed ones, however). I was really […]
Captain America (Chris Evans) Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
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 right away I wanted to capture it somehow and draw […]
Spider-Man Tom Holland Freehand Colored Pencil, Marker and Graphite Drawing
This one runs the full spectrum of media creation for me. For several years now, I’ve been drawing album cover art for free MP3 compilations my site JFH has been compiling and giving away. For this one, I wanted to do a drawing of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man with the […]
Elizabeth Olsen “Scarlet Witch” Wanda Maximoff Colored Pencil Drawing
At first, after Avengers: Age of Ultron, I wasn’t super crazy about Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda / Scarlet Witch character, but she’s grown on me a lot with the following films she appeared in. (And I’m definitely looking forward to that quirky WandaVision show coming out in 2021.) This was a […]
Karen Gillan Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
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), but to me she’s Nebula and Ruby Roundhouse from the […]
The Real Ghostbusters Commissioned Freehand Marker and Colored Pencil Drawing
Every once in a while, you get a very specific commission project. This one was done for a Ghostbusters fan who wanted a collage of The Real Ghostbusters characters in a very particular way. I drew in a little larger than I usually do with colored pencil and marker. […]
“Black Widow” Scarlett Johansson Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 the colored pencil (Something I don’t always do). Purchase link […]
Zoe Saldana Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 a base). It’s rare I’m happy with how my drawings […]
