Here’s another freehand portrait I did with colored pencil on black paper. Jessica has such a pretty and unique face to draw. This one was an interesting challenge.

This is one of the most iconic Jim and Pam moments from TV’s “The Office.” As part of the annual “Songs We’ve Been Trying To Tell You About (and Others We Haven’t)” compilation series for my website, JFH, I decided […]
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 […]

With my love for Casino Royale (and Eva Green!) I wanted to draw a new Bond & Vesper portrait. I decided to use the movie poster featuring the Casino Royale facade with a Vesper portrait (showcasing the love knot jewelry) and […]
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.
With the release of (and love for) “Avengers: Endgame,” I wanted to do a new drawing of Rocket Raccoon. I used colored pencils and marker to do this one, and decided to add in a graphite drawing of Groot behind […]
As a big fan of The Office, I felt it was nearly a must to draw Michael Scott’s “Prison Mike” persona. I’ve seen a lot of artistic representations of this image / character, but I caved and decided to take a […]
I’m definitely a fan of the show Seinfeld and Jerry’s standup comedy. While this foursome were pretty terrible people on the show, the show didn’t take itself seriously, making it pretty entertaining to watch. I drew Jerry once by himself and […]
In trying to find new and different people to draw, I thought I’d draw S.H.I.E.L.D’s own Maria Hill – AKA Cobie Smulders – but as herself. I’ve never watched How I Met Your Mother (beyond the pilot episode), but I enjoy […]
I am #sorrynotsorry about my love for drawing Stana Katic. Part of it is that I just really enjoy drawing her, and another part is that sometimes I’m just not satisfied enough with the previous drawing. But, for the most […]
I’m regularly discontented with my work. And even in instances like this when I attempt to update an older drawing, I’m often still not quite able to get it to where I truly want it. I had revisited my Jenna […]
I think I did a portrait or two between my Buzz and Woody drawings, but after drawing Buzz, I know I HAD to draw Woody. I also used marker and colored pencils for this one, too. Purchase link for prints: […]
After revisiting the Toy Story world with the new release of Toy Story 4, I felt inspired to draw a couple of Toy Story-themed “portraits.” As usual, I drew them freehand, but I used some marker as a base for […]
As a fan of MacGyver since probably my pre-teens, I jumped at the chance to meet Richard Dean Anderson at a convention in November, 2019. After a weird fire drill almost squashed our attempts to meet him, RDA graciously hung […]
What Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. began with the first Iron Man film not only made me a fan of the character that I otherwise had never heard of, but had made me a fan of Marvel […]
My dad has been a lifelong fan of Godzilla – a love he has even passed on to my son. For his birthday, I drew him this freehand colored pencil drawing of Godzilla from the King of the Monsters movie […]
Here’s a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing I did of Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I love the LOTR movies but had never done a real LOTR themed drawing (I did […]
I can’t remember the last time I got as excited during a moment in a movie than when Thor’s hammer, mjolnir, flew into Captain America’s hand during the epic climactic battle in Avengers: Endgame. Such an incredible moment! I knew […]
This one runs the full spectrum of media creation for me. For several years now, I’ve been drawing album cover art for free MP3 compilations my site JFH has been compiling and giving away. For this one, I wanted […]
At first, after Avengers: Age of Ultron, I wasn’t super crazy about Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda / Scarlet Witch character, but she’s grown on me a lot with the following films she appeared in. (And I’m definitely looking forward to that […]
I still think it’s hard to believe Karen Gillan is under all that make up as Nebula in the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Granted, Doctor Who fans know her as Amy Pond (I’ve never watched the show), […]
Every once in a while, you get a very specific commission project. This one was done for a Ghostbusters fan who wanted a collage of The Real Ghostbusters characters in a very particular way. I drew in a little […]
With the release of Avengers: Endgame, I thought it’d be fitting to do a new, full color “Black Widow” Scarlett Johansson colored pencil drawing. I drew this one entirely freehand (as usual) and used some marker as a base for […]
Speaking of different poses that stand out, I loved the source photo I used of actress Zoe Saldana for this drawing. It’s unique and showcases her beauty! I drew this freehand with colored pencils (and I think some markers as […]
And like Zooey, my freehand colored pencil drawing of Amanda Peet was another one that took quite a while to actually finish. I also really struggled with getting her likeness just right. Sometimes when I have a really difficult time […]
With the buzz over the first female-led Marvel movie last March, I set out to create this mixture of marker (as a base) and colored pencil drawing of Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. I’m a purist, so I prefer using […]
Here’s a freehand colored pencil commissioned drawing of actress Danica McKellar. This was a fun one to do (and she seemed to like it when she saw it on social media 🙂 ) Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/print-of-colored-pencil-drawing-of-danica-mckellar-85-x-11
In March, 2019, I worked on an exclusive original drawing for an upcoming Ghostbusters-themed art book. It was centered on the original team, which, as many of you know, has long been my favorite movie. I jumped at the chance […]
I loved Zachary Levi in the title character of Chuck in the TV series of the same name, so I was looking forward to seeing him play the childish role of Shazam — and it proved to be great! Here’s […]
