Data has to be my favorite character in Star Trek. Maybe it’s his loyalty, his desire to be more human, his innocence, his tenacity, his unintentional humor… his cat, Spot — or all the above. But Brent Spiner’s Data is […]
My buddy Adam and I went to an event to meet a couple of the Back to the Future actors so I drew this freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Harry Waters Jr. as Marvin Berry (on toned gray […]
The next in my young/old Star Trek TNG series is Worf. I was really happy with how this one turned out, too! Picard Worf is done in graphite, with younger Worf in colored pencil.

After the young/old series I did with Star Wars, I decided that – while rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation – it might be fun to draw the cast young from the show and older in the final season of Picard, […]
Truth be told, any drawing with more than one person to capture a likeness for is daunting to me… but 1984 Ghostbusters is still my favorite movie and I love drawing stuff for it. So for this one, I am the client. […]
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is still one of my favorite movies, and I knew I wanted to do a proper colored pencil drawing of the pair (after having done a rougher portrait some years ago). I do like how this one […]
Knives Out put Ana de Armas on my radar and I’ve been a fan since. I loved her short scene in No Time to Die and knew I needed to try to capture her elegance in a drawing from that movie. I […]
It’s no secret I’ve done A LOT of drawings based on the US version of The Office. One, because it’s my favorite TV show, but two because of the several conventions dedicated to The Office fandom where I attended as a vendor. […]
Here’s a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing I did of Salma Hayek in 2019 on toned gray paper. I actually like how this one turned out, too.

Here’s another batch of sketches I did around 2018 or so: Heather Graham, Jennifer Garner, Kari Jobe, Linda Cardellini, Kathatrine McPhee, and Jaimie Alexander (in Blindspot). I thought these were just okay… and figured I’d lump them together instead of listing […]
Here’s another freehand colored pencil on toned tan paper sketch from May 2018 – this time of actress Amy Acker (loved her in Person of Interest!)

Continuing on with sketches, I did this quicker freehand colored pencil and marker sketch on toned tan paper of Abigail Spencer in May 2018 (among other sketches I’d done in this style at the time) Purchase link for the original […]
I had started this freehand colored pencil drawing of Abigail Spencer in the fall of 2018 and didn’t complete it until Feb 2019. This one was wildly frustrating to work on because I had used both Prismacolor and Faber Castell […]
Olivia Munn is probably another actress who warrants a more detailed portrait, but I drew this freehand colored pencil sketch of her in 2018 as part of a series of sketches I was doing on toned tan paper. Purchase link […]
Honestly, of all these 2018 toned tan sketches I did, this one of the lovely Carla Gugino was my favorite… and it didn’t hurt that she acknowledged it, too. 🙂 (Y’know… before the IG algortithm changed so NO ONE sees […]
Here’s a flashback to 2018 when I did this colored pencil sketch of Jenna Elfman on toned tan paper. Fun fact – she replied, encouragingly, to this one when I shared it online. 🙂 I will never take acknowledgements like […]
I love Alice Eve (whatever happened to her??) and I loved the source photo I used for this drawing. I used colored pencil on black paper to capture this one, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Purchase […]
And now for something entirely different. Here’s a freehand colored pencil drawing I did on toned gray paper of “Good Cop” from The LEGO Movie. Definitely a fun one!

As a kid, I remember watching Star Trek: The Next Generation faithfully week to week. As an adult, I decided to revisit the show and binge it from start to finish (then the movies, then Picard). I loved revisiting it – […]
After they’d released some of the first images of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones again, I felt inspired to draw him back in the hat. While the movie ended up being a mixed bag, it was still kind of nice […]
I definitely have a soft spot for Hayley Atwell, but I’m also a Captain America fan. For Marvel’s “What If” animated series, they imagined what might have been if Peggy Carter had gotten the super soldier serum instead of […]
Galaxy Quest is SO good. It’s so underrated. And Missi Pyle is just too cute. When I had the chance to meet her at a convention, I knew I wanted to jump at it. I decided to draw her as […]
In anticipation of meeting E.T.’s Henry Thomas at a convention, I decided to draw E.T. and Elliott for Henry to sign for us. Growing up, it was my one aunt’s faaaavorite movie. So much so, she always had a bowl of […]
At the same convention I failed to meet Terry Farrell at, Jane Banks’ Karen Dotrice was in attendance. My wife is a HUGE Mary Poppins fan, so I drew this for her in anticipation of meeting Karen – who was […]
I loved Terry Farrell as Jadzia Dax in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as a kid. I drew this in anticipation of hopefully meeting her at a convention a couple years ago, but when we went – sort of on […]
This is a colorful one! This freehand drawing was commissioned of WWE personality “Alexa Bliss” (AKA Alexis Cabrera). I drew it using colored pencils. Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/alexa-bliss-alexis-cabrera-wwe-colored-pencil-drawing-print-commission
If anyone follows the Netflix hit show Stranger Things, they know the new character of Eddie in Season 4 was a huge fan favorite. In 2022, when it came to picking a subject for the next “Songs We’ve Been Trying […]
Knowing my family and I were going to a convention in Pittsburgh to meet some celebrities, I fast-tracked a drawing of Jerry and Newman from an episode of Seinfeld over the course of 2 nights. (I even brought a scanner […]
Another fun meet-and-greet at DunderCon 2022 was Oscar Nunez, who’s best known for playing Oscar Martinez on the US version of The Office. I drew this iconic pose of his and requested one of my favorite quotes of his – […]
