Continuing right along with the Next Generation young/old project, we have Deanna Troi in Picard and the original show. 🙂 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/deanna-troi-from-picard-and-star-trek-tng-marina-sirtis-colored-pencil-drawing-p
Data has to be my favorite character in Star Trek. Maybe it’s his loyalty, his desire to be more human, his innocence, his tenacity, his unintentional humor… his cat, Spot — or all the above. But Brent Spiner’s Data is […]
My buddy Adam and I went to an event to meet a couple of the Back to the Future actors so I drew this freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Harry Waters Jr. as Marvin Berry (on toned gray […]
The next in my young/old Star Trek TNG series is Worf. I was really happy with how this one turned out, too! Picard Worf is done in graphite, with younger Worf in colored pencil.

The story behind this one is kind of funny, silly, and embarassing… So actress Stana Katic posted the source photo I used to draw this and I figured it was her — especially because the eyes kind of look like […]
After the young/old series I did with Star Wars, I decided that – while rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation – it might be fun to draw the cast young from the show and older in the final season of Picard, […]
Truth be told, any drawing with more than one person to capture a likeness for is daunting to me… but 1984 Ghostbusters is still my favorite movie and I love drawing stuff for it. So for this one, I am the client. […]
This one hurts. I drew this one months before Matthew Perry’s passing, and it stings to see now. I do hold the original drawing close to my heart, but it hits bittersweet now. Rest in peace, Matthew… Purchase link for […]
I’ve grown to love Friends. And as frustrating as the Ross & Rachel storyline was, you still gotta love those two — and I knew I wanted to draw them together. Here’s a freehand graphite portrait of David Schwimmer and Jennifer […]
I know she’s made a name for herself because of the Fast & Furious films, but I actually really liked Jordana Brewster’s role in the short-lived (and criminally under-rated) TV series for Lethal Weapon. I drew this one freehand in graphite […]
Expanding my subjects further, here’s my first attempt at drawing Gemma Chan – in that slightly looser sketch-style that is still closer to finished than most of my sketches, but its looser in the hair and clothing especially. Do you […]
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is still one of my favorite movies, and I knew I wanted to do a proper colored pencil drawing of the pair (after having done a rougher portrait some years ago). I do like how this one […]
I love Evangeline Lilly and Paul Rudd in the Ant-Man (and Avengers) films — and although Quantumania was wildly disappointing, as soon as I saw this shot in the movie, I knew I wanted to try to draw it. Such a great moment. […]
Here’s another freehand graphite drawing of Italian model Nicole Vincenti. 🙂 Purchase link for the original drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/nicole-vincenti-sadie-gray-graphite-pencil-drawing-side-profile-not-a-print-9×12 Purchase link for prints of the drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/nicole-vincenti-sadie-gray-graphite-pencil-drawing-side-profile-print-85-x-11
This one may sit somewhere between a sketch and a more refined drawing, but I do recall giving this one a lighter, rougher approach. I drew this one of Ana de Armas freehand in graphite pencil. Purchase link for the […]
Rose Byrne is another one I’d never drawn before. I probably thought that the movie Knowing was the first time I’d seen her in a film before, but I believe it was most likely her little cameo in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones […]
Knives Out put Ana de Armas on my radar and I’ve been a fan since. I loved her short scene in No Time to Die and knew I needed to try to capture her elegance in a drawing from that movie. I […]
I had never drawn Mila Kunis before, but knew I had to when I found this source image — I really like how it turned out!

It’s no secret I’ve done A LOT of drawings based on the US version of The Office. One, because it’s my favorite TV show, but two because of the several conventions dedicated to The Office fandom where I attended as a vendor. […]
As a fan of the show Elementary and even Shanghai Noon, I knew I was overdue for trying to draw Lucy Liu. (Hey, that rhymed!) I drew this one freehand in graphite pencil in 2023. Purchase link for the original drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/lucy-liu-original-drawing-not-a-print-9×12 […]
Actress Olga Kurylenko has become one of my favorite actresses to draw, mostly because she often shares my work when I post it. 🙂 I loved her in Quantum of Solace and Oblivion and she’s just always a delight to draw. 🙂 […]
South African model Simone De Kock ranks high among some of my favorite people to draw. She’s got a beautiful face to draw and takes some truly intriguing photos. I drew this one in July 2021 – freehand in graphite […]
I loved Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust in the Mission: Impossible films, and I knew I wanted to take a stab at a drawing of her. This one also borders on a “sketch” as well, but is probably just finished […]
Ellie Holcomb doesn’t just have a lovely voice, but she’s a lovely person, too! I drew this one in 2018 and was tickled to see she liked it when I shared it online. 🙂 Purchase link for the original drawing: […]
Here’s another quasi-sketch from 2018, this time of Bridget Regan – another face I love. 🙂 I think I first saw her in the show White Collar and was swiftly smitten. 🙂 Purchase link for the original drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/bridget-regan-original-drawing-not-a-print-9×12 Purchase […]
Here’s another batch of sketches I did around 2017 – 2020, featuring actresses Christina Hendricks, Maggie Lawson, Kate Beckinsale, Audrey Esparza, Olga Kurylenko, and South African model Simone De Kock The original drawings for all of these are probably still […]
Here’s a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing I did of Salma Hayek in 2019 on toned gray paper. I actually like how this one turned out, too.

I did this sort-of-sketch, sort-of-drawing of Bridget Moynahan in 2016, and I was shocked to find her share it on her social accounts several years later. It always means a ton to me when the subject shares it. 🙂 Purchase […]
Here’s another batch of sketches I did around 2018 or so: Heather Graham, Jennifer Garner, Kari Jobe, Linda Cardellini, Kathatrine McPhee, and Jaimie Alexander (in Blindspot). I thought these were just okay… and figured I’d lump them together instead of listing […]
Oh, Annie Wersching… you are missed. I loved her as Agent Walker in 24 and even enjoyed her as Emma in Timeless (even if it wasn’t a likeable character). Sadly, Annie passed away at only age 45 in 2023. I did […]
