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. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/764205903/woody-toy-story-colored-pencil-drawing
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 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 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 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 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” 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
