James Bond / Daniel Craig Freehand Graphite Collage

I’m a big fan of Daniel Craig’s turn as James Bond 007, with Casino Royale being one of my top 10 films of all time. I drew this collage of images as an ode to Craig’s Bond, working in his character’s two great loves – Vesper and Madeline – and […]

Freehand Graphite Drawing of Evangeline Lilly

I have to admit that one of my favorite people to draw is actress Evangeline Lilly (LOST). So sometimes, when I’m not sure what to draw and I just want the challenge of trying to capture Evie’s likeness (again), I take a stab at a new portrait of her. I […]

Also 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 Steve Carell from The Office. Sadly, Leslie stood up the festival and never […]

Charlotte Freehand Sketch

It’s true… sometimes I just draw random photos of friends I see on Instagram. haha. Charlotte is someone I became friends with over Instagram, and after she posted this image – which just radiated pure joy – I felt the urge to draw a sketch of it. (Thankfully, she and […]

Hayley Atwell Freehand Drawing

Ha! This one makes me smile. I love Hayley Atwell, I think she’s beautiful, and I loved her as Peggy Carter in the Captain America movies. But I also love interesting facial expressions to draw… and the source photo for this, which she posted on her Instagram, just screamed to […]

Kate Winslet Freehand Sketch

Here’s a little “looser” sketch that I did of the lovely Kate Winslet. Instead of spending the usual hours and hours (and hours) of work on a portrait, I decided to do this one as a bit more of a rougher sketch.

Eddie Cantor in “Roman Scandals” Freehand Drawing

I have a vivid memory as a kid, sitting in my grandparents’ living room, and my grandfather showing my family old Eddie Cantor films. I love his comedy, as well as how he blends music with his comedy — he was something special and one of the greats! I’ve struggled […]

Kristin Kruek Freehand Pencil Drawing

I know Kristin Kruek has been in a bunch of shows and such, but I think it’s the show Chuck that I know her best from. The source image for this one was one I found on her Instagram account. I drew it freehand with graphite pencils. Etsy link for […]

Gwyenth Paltrow Pencil Portrait

Here’s another freehand pencil portrait that took forever to finish. Again, if you’ve read some of my blogs, you’ll know I tend to randomly start drawings that seem to interest me in the moment, even if I know it won’t necessarily be a crowd-pleaser, so to speak. This is a […]

Evangeline Lilly Drawing

  Yep, I drew Evie again. I’ve said before I tend to have long days and by the time I sit down to draw at night, I just want to start something new. I really liked this pose of hers, with the hair up and unusually styled. Etsy link for […]

Emily Blunt Pencil Drawing

I’m always fascinated by how some realist artists can draw water. Not too many photos inspire me to give the look a shot, but this one definitely did. Emily is awesome and she’s got such a unique – and challenging – face to draw. (And she’s just lovely!) This was […]

Kate Mara Sketch

In 2018, when I was working on a series of quicker sketches, I drew this one of Kate Mara. It was fun, and I captured some timelapse footage from the drawing session. Later, I decided to give it a bit more of a finished look, but it’s still kind of […]

Freehand Graphite Drawing of Dwight and Michael in The Office

“This is the worst!” haha I thought it’d be fun to attempt this wacky expression of Michael Scott’s (Steve Carell) face in an episode of “The Office.” I drew this freehand, from a reference shot from the show, in all graphite pencils.

Gisele Bundchen Graphite Drawing

Jordana Brewster Freehand Portrait

This freehand graphite portrait of actress Jordana Brewster (I know she’s more known for other things, but I loved her in the TV show “Lethal Weapon”) started out as a lighter sketch, but I later went back and put more detail into it. It’s still less detailed than I prefer […]

Ben and Leslie “Parks and Recreation” Graphite Drawing

While The Office is probably tops for my TV show of choice, I also loved Parks and Recreation! I knew I needed to do some Parks fan art, and it seemed like a no-brainer to do a portrait of Ben & Leslie from their wedding. 🙂 As usual, I drew this freehand using […]
