Between Robert Downey Jr and Benedict Cumberbatch, everyone wondered if the world really needed ANOTHER Sherlock Holmes. Once the modern update, “Elementary” hit TV, I decided it wasn’t worth subscribing to and didn’t watch it. I heard through the grape […]
freehand drawing
As you’ve noticed by now, I’m a huge fan of Ghostbusters. Always have been. I did a drawing of Ray Stantz right out of college and I’m not a huge fan of it, but it sells a lot in my […]
I finally bit the bullet and attempted this screenshot from the beginning of the film. I’ve been wanting to draw it for years actually. I worked on this from November 26 thru December 3, 2013.

I recently did a new drawing of Loki and thought it only fair to do a new one of Thor (with more detail than the first drawing). See, when drawing freehand — for me, at least — I have some […]
For the Avengers release last year, I did a series of pencil drawings where I mixed colored pencil and graphite together. I liked the end result, but the truth is that my heart lies with all-pencil drawings. I’m still trying […]
It’s not secret that I’m a huge Ghostbusters fan. So far, I’ve drawn Peter a few times, Ray twice and Egon a couple of times (for the first time this year). Where’s Winston? Nothing personal, Ernie, I just never got […]
Still digging the idea of drawing my own original photo work, I took a photo of one of my favorite vocalists, Andrew Schwab of the band Project 86, from Uprise Festival last month, and decided to give it a shot. […]
Next I chose a photo I had just recently taken at Uprise Fest in September 2013 and decided to draw John Cooper, frontman of the rock band Skillet. I’ve been a fan of their music since first hearing a sampler […]
After drawing the recent Jon Foreman portrait, I really liked the feeling of drawing a photo I took and just really liked the idea of doing more drawings like that. So to start, I decided to work on a photo […]
Truth be told, my first pencil portraits were of CCM artists back in the mid 90s. Artists like DC Talk and PFR were frequent subjects as I tried to figure out my way around drawing faces (they’re quite embarrassing to […]
After drawing Bruce Campbell as Sam Axe, I found it only necessary to draw Burn Notice’s central character, Michael Westen. I figured it was timely given the pending demise of the show this month… (And I’m going to miss it!) […]
I have my new sister-in-law to thank for getting me hooked on Burn Notice last fall. I ended up watching all six seasons in a matter of just a couple weeks. Now with it currently running its final episodes, I […]
As being a big fan of the US “The Office” TV show, I had been wanting to draw Steve Carell for a while. In searching for photos of Michael Scott, this lovely picture of Jenna Fischer (Pam on The Office) […]
I hate drawing backgrounds. However, I realize drawing backgrounds is a good practice and usually makes drawings look more complete. I’ve been drawing a portrait since July 1st that I keep putting aside because really all that’s left is a […]
I love drawing stuff related to my favorite film, Ghostbusters, so when it came time to find a photo to use as a source for Egon, the best I could find was a still from Ghostbusters 2 in the courtroom. […]
A classic film that I’ve known needed treatment for a while is Dumb and Dumber. However, given the age of the movie, it’s tough to find stills from the movie to draw from. Still, when I found the source photo […]
Somehow I missed posting this one, but I did really enjoy working on Sherlock’s Watson. I love Martin Freeman as an actor and I originally hadn’t planned on drawing him as Watson, but after watching the show–and then drawing Benedict […]
