I definitely have a soft spot for Hayley Atwell, but I’m also a Captain America fan. For Marvel’s “What If” animated series, they imagined what might have been if Peggy Carter had gotten the super soldier serum instead of […]

If you’ve seen Spider-Man: No Way Home, and you’re a fan of the Webbed Wonder, then you know how special this movie was. For this portrait, I decided to draw the image of all three cinematic live action Spider-Man’s in […]
Here’s yet another commissioned Scarett Johansson drawing as Black Widow. I drew this for a client freehand using colored pencils (and I think some marker?) Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black-widow-colored-pencil-drawing-print-commission-black-suit
Following the sheer awesomeness that was Spider-Man: No Way Home, I knew I wanted to draw the three Spider-Man’s in action together. Here is my freehand colored pencil and marker attempt at it. 🙂 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/the-spider-mans-in-no-way-home-colored-pencil-drawing-print
I have done quite a few commissioned Scarlett/Black Widow drawings for a customer, but since I actually like drawing Scarlett, it’s not really a problem. 🙂 This was drawn freehand with colored pencils.

I have to admit that one of my favorite people to draw is actress Evangeline Lilly (LOST). So sometimes, when I’m not sure what to draw and I just want the challenge of trying to capture Evie’s likeness (again), I […]
With a new Black Widow movie (finally) out, I decided to do a new freehand colored pencil drawing of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. I love her in this role! Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black-widow-colored-pencil-drawing-print
If you’ve been following my work at all, you’ll know I’m a Captain America fan. I especially loved the Steve and Peggy love story, and really loved the happy ending their story was given in “Avengers: Endgame.” I really wanted […]
After the passing of Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman, I was commissioned to do a freehand graphite and colored pencil tribute to the actor and the character he’ll forever be remembered for. You’re missed, Chadwick!
In trying to find new and different people to draw, I thought I’d draw S.H.I.E.L.D’s own Maria Hill – AKA Cobie Smulders – but as herself. I’ve never watched How I Met Your Mother (beyond the pilot episode), but I enjoy […]
And my introduction to Evangeline Lilly was in the show LOST – a show I didn’t become a fan of myself until first watching it in its entirety on Amazon Prime or NetFlix. I’ve since watched the whole show through […]
What Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. began with the first Iron Man film not only made me a fan of the character that I otherwise had never heard of, but had made me a fan of Marvel […]
I’m sure I’ve said this before, but oftentimes when I’m between drawings – and often especially between grueling projects – I tend to take on less stressful projects just to keep practicing my craft (Of course, they can sometimes become […]
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 […]
With the release of Avengers: Endgame, I thought it’d be fitting to do a new, full color “Black Widow” Scarlett Johansson colored pencil drawing. I drew this one entirely freehand (as usual) and used some marker as a base for […]
And here is a second Winter Soldier / Sebastian Stan portrait commission piece I did. It’s a freehand graphite drawing on Strathmore Art smooth Bristol paper. (I might as well start a business drawing Sebastian! This wouldn’t be my last […]
One actor we hoped to see at the Keystone Comic Con convention who inevitably cancelled is the ever versatile Andy Serkis — known best as Gollum from Lord of the Rings, but also as the voice and performance of Caesar […]
Before I worked on the Person of Interest drawing, I actually did a different portrait of Amy Acker. My first attempt was this one, and, while it really isn’t all that bad, I just wasn’t happy with it… which is […]
Another selling point for our trek to Boston was to meet actress Evangeline Lilly — who is most famous for her role as Wasp in Ant-Man and the Wasp and as Kate Austen in the show LOST. Evangeline has also […]
I love the Marvel movies, and with “Thor Ragnarok”‘s release, I felt inspired to do an all-new colored pencil work based around the film. This one was pretty fun — I wanted to try to do something a little unique […]
Continuing with an unofficial series of heroes with their rides, I followed Jyn with this colored pencil drawing of Chris Pratt as Star-Lord / Peter Quill from “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2” and his spaceship, The Milano. This one […]
Marvel’s just knocking each movie out of the park, and Benedict Cumberbatch was an inspired choice to play Doctor Strange. This is a freehand colored pencil drawing, and it was quite a challenge. I used a little bit of white […]
To accompany the new Bucky drawing–and to draw a new suited up Captain America in full color–I decided to attempt a new freehand drawing. I drew it out in pencil first and then erased that and drew it in colored […]
After seeing so many inspiring works online, it’s tough to just resort to straight portraits. And after seeing Ant-Man and liking it, it’s tough to resort to a portrait of just Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang or just him suited up […]
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 […]
Following LEGO Batman in colored pencil, I wanted to tackle LEGO Captain America (probably my favorite superhero). I actually almost abandoned this one early on because I wasn’t happy with certain aspects of it, but I’m mostly satisfied with the […]
I gotta admit; if I’m going to be staring hours at a photograph to try to reproduce it in pencil, it’s a real nice treat for it to be a pretty face. Between the recent Evangeline, Jennifer, Stana and now […]
I’ve found that sometimes you win some and you lose some. I struggled with this pencil portrait of Jennifer Connelly for too long and, sadly, I don’t think I got it quite right. Sometimes it’s the source image that’s part […]
OK, so I have a soft spot for Evangeline Lilly. After drawing dudes a lot, it’s just nice to stare at a pretty face while drawing. This one was a challenge (as usual?), but I enjoyed it. Instead of turning […]
My third attempt at doing a full, quick sketch in one night went to Peggy Carter from Captain America: The First Avenger — a character that’s been making waves on TV in the show “Agent Carter.” This one was pretty […]
