I get really frustrated with myself with my work. I may like something after I finish it, but I usually find something wrong with it and then don’t like it anymore. That’s what happened with my previous Jyn drawing.
This one… I wanted to do something different and try to incorporate the Rebel U-Wing int he image as well to give it a more unique flair. My comfort zone is to just do straight-forward pencil portraits, but it’s fun, too, to venture outside of that box. However, it’s nerve-racking every time.
The drawing was made with colored pencils with the U-Wing being a mix of colored pencil and graphite.

After finishing Gerard, I decided it was high time to finish some portraits that I’d started but never completed. This one was started in September and wasn’t finished until early December!

This one was really fun. I decided to draw Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso to get ahead of the upcoming film (which I’m super stoked for!), and as I worked on her portrait in colored pencil, I decided to abandon the original background for Darth Vader. And then it just felt right to add in the Death Star… Both Vader and the Death Star are graphite while Jyn is in colored pencil. (All freehand)

The best thing about Batman v Superman may have been Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. And I have to admit I’m excited for the upcoming solo film in 2017. This is a freehand colored pencil drawing of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman from the upcoming movie.

While talking to a coworker about this drawing, we wondered why I never just drew the part of his gun that was cut off in the original drawing and put them together for the prints made of it. … so I went home that night and did just that (and reworked his face a little bit and some of the other details). It was kind of fun, and it was satisfying to have fixed it.

And then someone wants to pay you to draw your four favorite characters from your favorite movie. Only drawback is you have to give it up when it’s done. 🙂 This is a pencil drawing with red colored pencil accents of all four of the only Ghostbusters for me. 🙂

Gotta love Kate Beckinsale. “Serendipity” is definitely one of my favorite romantic comedies. I’d been wanting to draw Kate recently but struggled with the first attempt (actually, first two attempts if I recall) and decided to try this one. I wasn’t too satisfied with it, so you may see another attempt in the near future…

With the resurgence of MacGyver with the recent TV reboot, I felt inclined to draw a childhood hero again. I had drawn one or two Mac portraits back in the 90s — one for a friend’s birthday — and I was just never happy with how they turned out. I decided to try to find a picture of RDA to draw that wasn’t too overpowering with the mullet action to try to draw all in color. So this drawing above is all freehand colored pencil.
And, for the record, I watched the pilot for the reboot and it was atrocious. You can’t replace Richard Dean Anderson.

Every once in a while I take a commission project. This one proved more difficult than I’d… hoped. Ha. It was larger than most pieced I do and trying to get everything sized just right (freehand) was so challenging…

Gotta love Kate Winslet as Rose in Titanic. 🙂 I love the glamour images I found of Kate from this photo shoot and had a hard time narrowing it down to one. This was all done in colored pencil freehand.
