With that special, emotional ending to 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I decided to do a freehand colored pencil and marker drawing of Phoebe and Egon from the end scene. Last year, I went to a convention where I met Bob Gunton who had filled in for the late Harold Ramis’ character and […]

Captain America 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. I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out too. 🙂 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/captain-america-in-avengers-endgame-chris-evans-colored-pencil-drawing-print-jump
The Mandalorian and Grogu Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
With the craze of Disney+’s The Mandalorian, I wanted to do a new drawing of Mando with Grogu (aka “Baby Yoda”) and set out to do a freehand drawing of the two of them flying. I did this one with marker as a base and colored pencils. Purchase link for prints: […]
ALF Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
While my family was revisiting this classic, albeit bizarre, 80’s sitcom, I felt inspired to draw the furry Alien Life Form known as ALF. I drew this one freehand using colored pencils and marker (as a base). It was definitely fun to do. 🙂 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/alf-colored-pencil-drawing-print You […]
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 […]
Thor “Avengers: Endgame” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
After drawing Cap and Iron Man from the climax of Avengers: Endgame, I knew I needed to draw Thor, too, but he never got a really iconic close-up like his fellow heroes did. The closest may be this moment before he charges the ultimate foe, Thanos. (I do have an idea […]
Christina Hendricks Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Sketch
I had attempted a graphite drawing of actress Christina Hendricks, but I just wasn’t happy with it. I ended up going for a quicker, slightly rougher marker and colored pencil sketch of Christina that you see here. It was different than what I normally do, but it was an enjoyable […]
Woody Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Portrait
I think I did a portrait or two between my Buzz and Woody drawings, but after drawing Buzz, I know I HAD to draw Woody. I also used marker and colored pencils for this one, too. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/woody-toy-story-colored-pencil-drawing-print
Buzz Lightyear Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Portrait
After revisiting the Toy Story world with the new release of Toy Story 4, I felt inspired to draw a couple of Toy Story-themed “portraits.” As usual, I drew them freehand, but I used some marker as a base for Buzz before finishing it in colored pencil. It was still […]
Spider-Man Tom Holland Freehand Colored Pencil, Marker and Graphite Drawing
This one runs the full spectrum of media creation for me. For several years now, I’ve been drawing album cover art for free MP3 compilations my site JFH has been compiling and giving away. For this one, I wanted to do a drawing of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man with the […]
Karen Gillan Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
I still think it’s hard to believe Karen Gillan is under all that make up as Nebula in the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Granted, Doctor Who fans know her as Amy Pond (I’ve never watched the show), but to me she’s Nebula and Ruby Roundhouse from the […]
The Real Ghostbusters Commissioned Freehand Marker and Colored Pencil Drawing
Every once in a while, you get a very specific commission project. This one was done for a Ghostbusters fan who wanted a collage of The Real Ghostbusters characters in a very particular way. I drew in a little larger than I usually do with colored pencil and marker. […]
Captain Marvel Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
With the buzz over the first female-led Marvel movie last March, I set out to create this mixture of marker (as a base) and colored pencil drawing of Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. I’m a purist, so I prefer using just one medium at a time, but for a drawing […]
Olga Kurylenko Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Actress / model Olga Kurylenko has been one of my most frequent and kind supporters of drawings I’ve done of her. Ironically, she seems to consistently share my works-in-progress on her social media channels, but never them completed. Ha! This was my first attempt at an all-color drawing of Olga– […]
Autographed Ellie Kemper as Erin in “The Office” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
With news that actress Ellie Kemper was promoting her new book with a signing at Words Bookstore in Maplewood, NJ, I quickly drew a new portrait of her as quickly as I possibly could – drawing her as Erin Hannon in my favorite TV show, The Office. Thankfully, Ellie didn’t […]
Custom “Big Bang Theory” Character Sketch Cards
Here is a batch of Big Bang Theory themed character sketch cards I did for a customer upon request. Doing small portraits is way out of my comfort zone, but upon starting to do more sketch cards, I’ve found it to be a regular task now… (and good practice) www.johndibiaseart.com
Richard Dreyfuss from “JAWS” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing – Autographed!
I’d never been to a comic-con or similar con before. But when Richard Dreyfuss, who stars in my wife’s favorite movie of all time, JAWS, came to our area, I knew we had to go. And when she couldn’t decide on what piece of JAWS merch to get signed, I […]
2017 Topps “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” Sketch Cards
The second batch of sketch cards I did for Topps was their “Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Series 1” Trading Card set, which released December 15, 2017. These are just a few of the 35 or so I did for the set. The cards that Topps kept were randomly […]
Anakin versus Darth Vader Freehand Marker and Colored Pencil Commission Piece
As a commissioned piece, I did this marker and colored pencil drawing that shows Darth Vader/Anakin battling his Jedi self, with the Emperor pulling the strings in the background. It was challenging, but also kind of fun. 🙂 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/color-pencil-marker-drawing-print-of-darth-vader-vs-anakin
Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
It was hard not to love the new Wonder Woman film, especially Gal Gadot and her performance. I drew Gal as WW once before, but I wanted to do a newer, more flattering pose. For this one, I used marker in the background and then went over it with colored […]
Whoa Doc! That’s Heavy!
I was paging through a comic book recently and saw this really excellent drawing of a person that bordered on portrait quality while still being comic book art. In the drawing there was great detail where a lot of the features were defined with lines — like where little shadows […]
Eject! Operation: Soundwave
Here’s the latest… Continuing with marker drawings after finishing the last pencil portrait. This is a version of Soundwave from Transformers. The source I drew it from was a page out of a comic book (from 2006 I believe) Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/soundwave-transformers-full-color-drawing-print Purchase link for the original drawing: […]
