Benedict Cumberbatch “Doctor Strange” Commissioned Freehand Graphite Drawing

Allman Brothers Freehand Graphite Commissioned Drawing
Another freehand graphite commissioned piece I did is this one of the Allman Brothers. To say this was an involved and detailed drawing would be quite an understatement. 🙂 Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/the-allman-brothers-drawing-print

Robert Pattinson as The Batman Freehand Commissioned Portrait Drawing
I remember when they had announced Twilight’s Robert Pattinson would become the next Batman… it sounded like a cruel joke. However, the guy actually made a pretty decent Batman when the film The Batman released with him donning the cowl. I drew this in colored pencil as a commissioned piece for a […]
The Witcher Video Game Commissioned Colored Pencil Portrait
And now for something completely different. One of the neatest things about doing commissions is that it gives me a chance to step outside of my comfort zone, or to venture into subject matter I won’t otherwise ever draw. I did this freehand colored pencil drawing of characters from the […]
Mrs. Doubtfire Commissioned Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s a freehand colored pencil drawing I did of Mrs. Doubtfire that was commissioned. This one was definitely challenging — especially that danged flower blazer! (Prints are not available because the client wanted exclusivity for the artwork.)

Freehand Colored Pencil Commission of Black Widow

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 […]

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.
Adam Baldwin as Jayne Cobb in TV’s “Firefly”
Another commission piece ended up being this freehand graphite portrait of Adam Baldwin as Jayne Cobb in Firefly. I loved him in the show “Chuck” more, but I know people seem to love Firefly too. 🙂

Lebron and Dwayne Colored Pencil Commission Piece
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 pieces I do, and trying to get everything sized just right (freehand) was so challenging…
Ron Perlman as Vincent from TV’s “Beauty and the Beast” Commissioned Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
I don’t take a lot of commission work mostly due to the time it takes to do a portrait — and so I also don’t necessarily want to draw certain pictures people want me to do. But this one was pretty interesting. I remember my mom being into “Beauty and […]
