Ever since The Rocketeer, it was hard not to pretty much be in love with Jennifer Connelly. Every once in a while, I like to take a stab at a new drawing of Jennifer, and this was my 2022 attempt. I […]
graphite 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
From time to time, I get commissioned to draw a pop culture character for a client, and here is my freehand graphite drawing of Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam. Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/charlie-hunnam-drawing-print
In anticipation of the first annual DunderCon convention themed for the show The Office, I decided to draw Jackie Debatin as Elizabeth the stripper with Steve Carell’s Michael Scott. I drew it freehand in graphite pencil… and had Jackie sign […]
And then we have yet another graphite portrait… a closer-up drawing with more details. Again (and I’m sure I’ll continue to say this), I’m frequently shuffling in graphite projects with colored pencil ones to give some variety and also some […]
Using VidAngel, a video streaming service that edits stuff you watch for content, I went through the complete Peaky Blinders series. I actually really liked it (even though there’d be times where huge chunks of dialog were edited out completely, […]
Another commissioned piece was Sarah Michelle Gellar in one of her most famous roles – Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I drew this one freehand (as usual) in graphite pencil. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-sarah-michelle-gellar-pencil-drawing-print
Gal Gadot is one of those lovely people I just love to draw. So, if I’m to do mulitple portraits of the same person, it helps that they’re different – if not drastically different – poses and such each time. […]
I love the Marx Brothers, but for some reason, this one took an extremely long time ot finish. It was one of those that I would frequently pick up, do a little work, and put back down for an extended […]
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 […]
I love Yvonne in Chuck, and have enjoyed seeing her in shows like 24: Live Another Day and the movie Tomorrow War. She’s underrated, if I may say so. I enjoy drawing her, too. I drew this one freehand […]
Evie is just fun to draw. I can’t help it. 🙂 I was a little bummed I couldn’t fit both of her full hands in the drawing, but I still had a lot of fun with this one. 🙂 I […]
Another beautiful face for sure is actress Alice Eve. I did find her likeness a tough one to capture just right – so I’m due to try another one of her – but I think it still turned out ok. […]
Took a stab at another freehand graphite drawing of Anne Hathaway. I really liked the composition of this one. Order prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/anne-hathaway-drawing-print
With my new shop at www.JohnDiBiaseArt.com, there are way more options for my listings than what other stores could offer. So with that, I’ve decided to make the option for all my color prints to be available in a black-and-white […]
For another drawing that was a random effort and practice, I drew this freehand graphite drawing of actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. The original drawing actually sold already. However, prints are still available 🙂 https://johndibiaseart.com/jennifer-love-hewitt-graphite-pencil-drawing-print-85-x-11
Ever since 1991’s “The Rocketeer,” I’ve loved Jennifer Connelly as an actress. I’ve tried drawing her a few times, but I was never satisfied with how they turned out. This was one of those on-a-whim drawings and it was […]
A couple years ago, I binge-watched a bunch of Humphrey Bogart movies for the first time, and was a total fan by the end. I drew Bogie once before, but didn’t love how it turned out. I decided to try […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I love old movies, and in wanting to expand my subject matter, I decided to draw the beautiful Sophia Loren (probably after seeing her again in House Boat with Cary Grant). Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/sofia-loren-drawing-print Purchase link for the original: […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I know Kristin Kreuk 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 couldn’t even tell you where I first saw Sienna Miller, but I’ve enjoyed seeing her in films over the years. I liked this unique image of her, but I definitely struggled capturing her likeness. Purchase link for the original […]
It’s funny, but I don’t think I was even looking for photos of Lucille Ball when I found the image I used as a source for this drawing. It seemed like such an unusual look for Lucy – and […]
In a continued effort to expand my list of subjects, I decided to draw the lovely Kristy Swanson, best known probably as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I loved her in the show Psych and several classic 90s movies. 🙂 […]
