“No Time to Die” was a great farewell for Daniel Craig as James Bond, so it definitely inspired me to do a couple pieces centered around the movie. I drew this one from the finale of the movie freehand in colored pencil. It now hangs in our living room above […]

James Bond “No Time to Die” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
It’s rare where I’m watching a movie for the first time and upon seeing a scene, I just know I want to draw it. I’ll never forget seeing this shot in No Time to Die and just knowing that second I wanted to draw it. I still think the original scene / […]
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 […]
Caterina Murino Freehand Graphite Portrait Drawing
Expanding on my subjects and continuing to practice graphite pencil work, I chose Italian actress Caterina Murino from Casino Royale next. This was drawn entirely freehand with graphite pencils.

James Bond and Vesper Freehand Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing
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 a rare promo image of Bond to make something unique. […]
Olga Kurylenko Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
This one was a bit of a challenge to pull back and try detail a little smaller. I liked the image and I wanted to give it a try… and when it was finished, I decided to add a little color by splashing some purple colored pencil off to the […]
Gemma Arterton Graphite Pencil (with a hint of colored pencil) Portrait Drawing
I’ve been trying to mix it up a bit with the all-graphite portraits by adding an element of color to each one again. It seems easier to do this with pop culture-specific pieces, but it can be more challenging with a more straight forward portrait. This one of Gemma Arterton […]
Commissioned Freehand Drawing of Eva Green as Vesper Lynd in “Casino Royale”
I can imagine that many artists would want to do new things and not repeat past projects. This drawing was the first time I’ve been commissioned to do a drawing I’ve already done before. The original drawing was purchased some time ago, but a kind customer wanted it as well. […]
New Originals Up for Sale!
I added a new batch of original drawings up for sale. Once they’re gone, they’re gone! Prints are still available for them, but these originals are first-come, first-serve. Thanks for looking! Newly added: Chris Hemsworth as Thor in Thor: The Dark World Tom Hiddleston as Loki in Thor: The Dark […]
Eva Green as Vesper Lynd in “Casino Royale” Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
Every once in a while, when I’m not sure what to draw but I know I want to do something of interest, I’ll just randomly gravitate towards an image of a favorite character. I loved the James Bond reboot “Casino Royale.” It’s easily in my top 10 movies (if not […]
Colored Pencil Sketch of Daniel Craig as James Bond in “Skyfall” On Black Paper
I started a sketch before this one — and a new detailed pencil portrait — but put those on hold once I picked up my first-ever pad of black paper. I keep a folder of images on my iPad of ones that I may some day like to draw. […]
Eva Green and Daniel Craig as Vesper and Bond in Casino Royale Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
After completing solo Eva, I proceeded to attempt to finish the latest Bond/Vesper portrait. Like the solo Eva drawing, this is done with all graphite pencils. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/drawing-print-of-eva-green-and-daniel-craig-as-vepser-and-james-bond-in-casino-royale
Eva Green as Vesper Lynd in “Casino Royale” Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
Sometimes after drawing dudes one after another, a guy’s just gotta spend some time looking at a pretty face. 
I’ve drawn Eva Green before — technically twice already (one solo, one with Bond), but I’ve never really been super happy with those. So, when it came time to pick […]
A Handful of Original Drawings Now On Sale
I find it difficult to part with many of my original drawings, but I realize I can’t keep them all… So I’m cleaning shop a bit. These are original, 9×12 drawings — not prints/copies — so they’re one-of-a-kind, and once they’re gone, they’re gone! What is available: 1. Thor / […]
Eva Green and Daniel Craig in “Casino Royale” Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
I decided to then return to screen shots and chose this favorite from Casino Royale. While it’s not exactly the happiest scene, I loved the emotion in it and the fact that the hard-hearted, coldblooded killing British spy lets down his guard for a woman he’s literally falling in love […]
Sean Connery as James Bond Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
After finishing the Indiana Jones drawing, I decided to return to drawing something from scratch and worked on this image of Sean Connery as James Bond. I’d wanted to draw him, but didn’t want to draw one of the most commonly seen iconic images; there were enough drawings of those. […]
Eva Green (as Vesper in Casino Royale) Freehand Graphite Drawing
One of the things I really liked about the James Bond reboot Casino Royale was his vulnerability in falling for Vesper (and how that all inevitably lead to him becoming “James Bond”). I really liked Eva Green in the role, so I decided to give a drawing of her a […]
Daniel Craig as James Bond Pencil Drawing
With the release Cowboys & Aliens approaching, I felt it appropriate to take a stab at drawing Daniel Craig as James Bond. I’m in a mode where I’m really enjoying working on portraits again and in looking for new projects to start, I decided Craig would make a fine victim. […]
