Ah, the stench of failure. It’s something all artists of some form have to experience. While it may not be something we ever get used to, it’s definitely something we have to learn how to handle. It’s important to see what we can learn from failure and disappointment and then […]

Melora Hardin Freehand Colored Pencil Portrait
“Jan Levinson, I presume?” Who couldn’t love the completely unhinged performance that Melora Hardin gives to Jan Levinson on The Office? I’d wanted to draw Melora and settled on a picture of her as herself — with a bit of a Jan expression — and decided to do it entirely […]
Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man in “Avengers: Infinity War” Freehand colored Pencil and Pastel Drawing
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 that ended with Avengers: Endgame. Earlier in 2019, I decided […]
Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier in “Avengers: Infinity War” Commissioned Colored Pencil Drawing
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 draw Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier again, this time […]
Emily Blunt in “Mary Poppins Returns” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
My wife is a HUGE fan of the original Mary Poppins film. She and I are both fans of Emily Blunt, so news of her playing Mary Poppins in an all-new sequel sounded brilliant to us. Thankfully, the sequel ended up being super charming and, for Christmas, I worked up […]
Olga Kurylenko Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Actress / model Olga Kurylenko has been one of my most frequent and kind supporters of drawings I’ve done of her. Ironically, she seems to consistently share my works-in-progress on her social media channels, but never them completed. Ha! This was my first attempt at an all-color drawing of Olga– […]
Autographed Ellie Kemper as Erin in “The Office” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
With news that actress Ellie Kemper was promoting her new book with a signing at Words Bookstore in Maplewood, NJ, I quickly drew a new portrait of her as quickly as I possibly could – drawing her as Erin Hannon in my favorite TV show, The Office. Thankfully, Ellie didn’t […]
Autographed Colored Pencil Drawing of Plumb
I’ve been a fan of singer Plumb since her debut in 1997. The day after I took my son to see TobyMac in concert in November, 2018, we went to see Plumb in concert as well. I actually gave her a drawing I did of her a few years ago […]
Simone Dawn De Kock Colored Pencil Drawing
This one is easily one of my favorite drawings I did in 2018. In addition to having a beautiful subject (lovely model Simone Dawn De Kock), I just found it a fun and challenging image to try to capture. Not only is she lying on a beach (in SAND, mind […]
Custom “Big Bang Theory” Character Sketch Cards
Here is a batch of Big Bang Theory themed character sketch cards I did for a customer upon request. Doing small portraits is way out of my comfort zone, but upon starting to do more sketch cards, I’ve found it to be a regular task now… (and good practice) www.johndibiaseart.com
Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Westen in “Burn Notice” Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
After drawing Bruce Campbell as Sam Axe, I found it only necessary to draw Burn Notice’s central character, Michael Westen. I figured it was timely given the pending demise of the show this month… (And I’m going to miss it!)
