This one has a somewhat interesting story behind it. I started this one as a new Han and Chewie drawing for myself, but I ended up not being too thrilled with it, so I started a different one instead. Eventually, however, I went back and finished this one, and I […]

Egon and Janine Colored Pencil Ghostbusters Drawing
Any diehard Ghosthead has greatly missed the passing of Harold Ramis. Even 2021’s “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” film honored his legacy as Egon Spengler. I drew this one to honor him, as I loved the candid moment between Harold and Annie Potts’ Janine Melnitz. This one was done all in colored pencil […]

In the anticipation of Leslie David Baker coming to 2021’s Office Super Fan Festival in Scranton, PA – where I was to be a vendor – I drew Leslie as Stanley Hudson on The Office, with hopes he could sign it in person. Sadly, Leslie stood up the festival and […]

Han Solo Colored Pencil Compilation Cover Art
Now for something a little different… I have always loved making mixtape cover art on the computer, but when my website JFH started doing compilations in 2012 to showcase indie artists, I had fun drawing the covers or taking photos for the covers for each one. For Vol. 10 of […]

Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing of Jim and Pam at Niagara – Autographed by Jenna!
As anĀ Office buff, this has quickly become one of my favorite pieces I’ve done. I even took the risk to mail it to OfficeFunkoPops.com for a private signing with Jenna Fischer to get her autograph on it. š Now, I love it even more. I drew this one freehand with […]
Falcon (Anthony Mackie) from Falcon and the Winter Soldier Colored Pencil Drawing
The Marvel movies for Captain America finally gave me a favorite superhero with Chris Evan’s portrayal of him. It was sad to see him hang up the shield in Avengers: Endgame, but he was given an appropriate send-off. With Disney Plus’s Falcon and the Winter Soldier TV series, the shield […]
Signed Colored Pencil and Marker Optimus Prime Drawing
I grew up on The Transformers, so when I got a chance to order an autograph from the original voice actor of my childhood hero Optimus Prime, I had to take it — especially since the actor is in his 70’s now, and who knows if I’ll ever get a […]
Gina Carano “Cara Dune” Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
Gina Carano definitely got a raw deal with the overreactions from social media extremists. I wanted to draw a different pose for Gina as her Star Wars character Cara Dune, since so many people were doing renditions of the same images of her. I loved the look of Cara taking […]
Captain America Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
Speaking of Captain America, I’d wanted to do another Avengers: Endgame Cap drawing featuring him wielding mjolnir and I just loved this brief in-air shot of him from his fight with Thanos. I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out too. š Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/988086151/captain-america-in-avengers-endgame

Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing of The Mandalorian and Grogu
With the craze of Disney+’sĀ The Mandalorian, I wanted to do a new drawing of Mando with Grogu (aka “Baby Yoda”) and set out to do a freehand drawing of the two of them flying. I did this one with marker as a base and colored pencils. Etsy link for prints: […]
ALF Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
While my family was revisiting this classic, albeit bizarre, 80’s sitcom, I felt inspired to draw the furry Alien Life Form known as ALF.

Ana de Armas Colored Pencil Drawing
How can you not love Ana de Armas after watchingĀ Knives Out? She’s so sweet in that movie, and when I saw this image of her, I knew I wanted to try to draw it, and try extra hard to do a good job with it. I used marker as a […]
Han Solo and Chewbacca Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I wanted to do a new original drawing of Han and Chewie from the first Star Wars film, so I actually had started a different portrait of the two in late 2020 before scrapping it and starting over with this one (I actually started back on that first drawing in […]
Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Santa Claus Commission
For the second year in a row, I was given the honor of drawing a photography studio’s own Santa Claus to create trading cards that they’d give to customers who get their photo taken with their Santa Claus. I drew this one freehand from a photo they provided (changed […]
“Mandalorian” Boba Fett Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
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)Ā I drew this freehand with colored pencils and some marker as a base.

Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
WithĀ 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. š […]
Wakko Warner Colored Pencil Drawing
How can you not love the Animaniacs – or Wakko Warner? I drew this a VERY long time ago, probably in college, and it’s made with colored pencils. I decided to scan it more recently to offer prints to anyone interested. It’s drawn from a still from one of my […]
Indiana Jones and Henry Jones Colored Pencil Drawing
After the passing of Sean Connery, I wanted to do a tribute piece from my third-favorite movie of all-time,Ā 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 Collage Drawing
In 2020, I had wanted to draw a collage of stunt moments from theĀ Mission:ImpossibleĀ movie series starring Tom Cruise. I started one, using a promo image fromĀ 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
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” Colored Pencil Drawing
After drawing Cap and Iron Man from the climax ofĀ 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 […]
