Evangeline Lilly Freehand Graphite Drawing (Hair Up)

Emily Blunt Freehand Graphite 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 […]

Falcon (Anthony Mackie) from Falcon and the Winter Soldier Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing

Optimus Prime Peter Cullen Autographed Colored Pencil and Marker Freehand Drawing

Jim and Pam of The Office Freehand Graphite Drawing

Gina Carano “Cara Dune” Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing

Speaking of Captain America, I’d wanted to do another Avengers: Endgame Cap drawing featuring him wielding mjolnir and I just loved this brief in-air shot of him from his fight with Thanos.

Han Solo and Chewbacca Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing

Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Santa Claus Commission
For the second year in a row, I was given the honor of drawing a photography studio’s own Santa Claus to create trading cards that they’d give to customers who get their photo taken with their Santa Claus. I drew this one freehand from a photo they provided (changed […]
