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 to Tell You About (and Others We Haven’t)” album cover, […]

Seinfeld Newman and Jerry Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing – AUTOGRAPHED by Wayne Knight
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 with me to scan in the final drawing before getting […]
Oscar Nunez The Office AUTOGRAPHED Colored Pencil Drawing
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 – “Un – be- liev- a – ble!” He kindly wrote […]
Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Black Widow was a frequent subject of commission work I’ve done for one client. (But who could get tired of drawing Scarlett Johansson? 🙂 ). I drew this still from 2012’s Avengers freehand in colored pencil (and probably some marker) Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black-widow-colored-pencil-drawing-print-commission-a

When we got word that Claudia Wells – who played the original Jennifer Parker in Back to the Future – was going to be at a signing event in New Jersey, we jumped at the chance to go meet her. I drew this freehand colored pencil drawing of her and […]
Top Gun Maverick Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
It’s hardly an understatement to say that Top Gun Maverick was a big hit. I find myself often loving Tom Cruise’s movies and this one was no different. I kind of wanted to do a drawing of Maverick in the cockpit of his plane, but I opted for this one of Maverick […]
Shawn and Gus (as “Magic Head”) from TV’s Psych Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
My biggest problem with drawing multiple characters in one drawing is the fine detail. I definitely struggle with that. I love a larger, close-up image that allows for a lot more little details. Still, it’s a nice challenge to try to get a couple likenesses just right in one piece, […]
Freehand Colored Pencil Zoe Kravitz “Catwoman” Commissioned Drawing
Another commission piece I did was this freehand colored pencil drawing of Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman in “The Batman.” She’s definitely not my favorite Catwoman (Anne Hathaway maybe?), but it was still a nice change of pace to draw.

Autographed Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Karen Gillan Drawing
Although it means not getting the pleasure of meeting the celebrity in person, I caved and sent in my freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Karen Gillan to be signed by her. I’m glad I did, too, because I loved her little dedication and it’s a […]
Spider-Mans Hug Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
If you’ve seen Spider-Man: No Way Home, and you’re a fan of the Webbed Wonder, then you know how special this movie was. For this portrait, I decided to draw the image of all three cinematic live action Spider-Man’s in their goodbye hug. It wasn’t an easy one to do, […]
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 […]
Olivia Wilde as Gozer Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I remember being quite surprised to recognize Olivia Wilde as Gozer in Ghostbusters: Afterlife – and I thought it was perfect casting. When it came time to choose characters to draw from the film, I was very interested in taking a stab at Ms. Wilde in her villainous makeup. This […]
Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
I was super thrilled to see the original Ghostbusters return in 2020/2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I did several drawings based on characters and scenes from the movie, and wanted to do one of older Peter Venkman. A good portrait image of him was hard to come by due to their limited screentime, […]
Midge from Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
After taking a chance on the Amazon show “The Marvelous Mrs Maisel” using VidAngel to edit out the frequent profanity, I found it to be a really great show. I decided to take a stab at drawing Rachel Brosnahan as Midge Maisel, which was a little different of a portrait […]
Black Widow Commissioned Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s yet another commissioned Scarett Johansson drawing as Black Widow. I drew this for a client freehand using colored pencils (and I think some marker?) Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black-widow-colored-pencil-drawing-print-commission-black-suit
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.)
Phoebe and Egon Spengler’s Ghost Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
With that special, emotional ending to 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I decided to do a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Phoebe and Egon from the end scene. Last year, I went to a convention where I met Bob Gunton who had filled in for the late Harold Ramis’ character and […]
Leigh Nash Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
Leigh is an incredible singer and artist, and a just an all-around wonderful person. I had drawn Leigh – as singer of the band Sixpence None the Richer – decades ago for my sister-in-law, who is a big fan, and then again a couple times in an attempt to create […]
Florence Pugh “Yelena” Freehand Colored Pencil “Hawkeye” Commissioned Drawing
A follow-up Florence Pugh as Yelena drawing was commissioned from the same customer, and this time they wanted her posed like in the promotional images for the movie. Before I put in the red “X” background, I scanned it in to give future buyers of prints of the drawing an […]
Spider-Man Trio Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Following the sheer awesomeness that was Spider-Man: No Way Home, I knew I wanted to draw the three Spider-Man’s in action together.

James Bond “No Time to Die” ‘All the Time in the World’ Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
“No Time to Die” was a great farewell for Daniel Craig as James Bond, so it definitely inspired me to do a couple pieces centered around the movie. I drew this one from the finale of the movie freehand in colored pencil. It now hangs in our living room above […]
Black Widow Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
A client who often had me draw Scarlett Johanssen for them picked this image as my next commission. I actually really like the dynamic of looking through the fence, along with the lighting. I drew this one freehand (as all of my work) with colored pencils from a still photo […]
Ray, Peter and Winston from Ghostbusters Afterlife Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Of course, with the reveal that the original Ghostbusters trio returned for the film’s finale… I also knew I wanted to draw these guys together. Some are upset I didn’t include Egon, too, but this shot in the film, with their expressions, didn’t include Egon. It wasn’t until the camera […]
James Bond “No Time to Die” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
It’s rare where I’m watching a movie for the first time and upon seeing a scene, I just know I want to draw it. I’ll never forget seeing this shot in No Time to Die and just knowing that second I wanted to draw it. I still think the original scene / […]
Mini-Puft Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
With the release of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” – AKA the bonafide Ghostbusters 3 – I was looking forward t0 making some all-new Ghostbusters themed art. The first one? Adorable little Mini-Puft! 🙂 I drew this one freehand using colored pencils and markers — it was certainly a lot of fun to do. 🙂 […]
Han and Chewie Star Wars Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 […]
Freehand Colored Pencil Commission of Black Widow
I have done quite a few commissioned Scarlett/Black Widow drawings for a customer, but since I actually like drawing Scarlett, it’s not really a problem. 🙂 This was drawn freehand with colored pencils.

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 […]
