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!

Jordana Brewster Freehand Portrait
This freehand graphite portrait of actress Jordana Brewster (I know she’s more known for other things, but I loved her in the TV show “Lethal Weapon”) started out as a lighter sketch, but I later went back and put more detail into it. It’s still less detailed than I prefer […]
Alexandra Daddario Freehand Sketch
A couple years ago, I worked on a series of sketches to force myself to draw faster and looser, and this freehand drawing of actress Alexandra Daddario came out of that.

Ben and Leslie “Parks and Recreation” Graphite Drawing
While The Office is probably tops for my TV show of choice, I also loved Parks and Recreation! I knew I needed to do some Parks fan art, and it seemed like a no-brainer to do a portrait of Ben & Leslie from their wedding. 🙂 As usual, I drew this freehand using […]
Jim and Pam at Niagara “The Office” Freehand Graphite Drawing
Have I mentioned I love The Office? This was a fun one to draw of Jim and Pam at Niagara Falls for their wedding. I love that look Jim gives the camera — especially after Pam has her head on his shoulder (like that iconic Season One moment when he […]
Mission:Impossible Collage Drawing
In 2020, I had wanted to draw a collage of stunt moments from the Mission:Impossible movie series starring Tom Cruise. I started one, using a promo image from Fallout as a source, but I just couldn’t get the image of Tom to turn out right. I ended up abandoning it and selling it […]
Chewie (Guinea Pig) Freehand Graphite Drawing
In 2005, the weekend that Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith released, my wife and I came home with a darling new baby boy… guinea pig (May 21, 2005). And so we named him Chewie. Chewie was my best pal for the four years we had him before a […]
Jennifer Garner Freehand Pencil Portrait
This one was definitely challenging. It’s one of those things where… no matter how many times you tweak it, something looks off. Needless to say, this freehand graphite drawing of Jennifer Garner didn’t come out quite like I’d hoped, but hopefully someone out there likes it. 🙂 Etsy link to […]
Jessica Chastain Pencil Portrait
I’ve said this before, but in case you missed that post (ha!), I tend to search for images of people to find ones that inspire me to draw and sometimes I find more than one image at a time. For people like Mario Cotillard, I ended up doing two new […]
Hayley Atwell Pencil Portrait
There are just some people I love to draw. Hayley Atwell is one of them. 🙂 I loved her as Peggy Carter in the Marvel films, and I can’t wait to see her in the next Mission: Impossible movies! Anyway, as usual, I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. This […]
