For another drawing that was a random effort and practice, I drew this freehand graphite drawing of actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. The original drawing actually sold already. However, prints are still available 🙂 https://johndibiaseart.com/jennifer-love-hewitt-graphite-pencil-drawing-print-85-x-11

Ever since 1991’s “The Rocketeer,” I’ve loved Jennifer Connelly as an actress. I’ve tried drawing her a few times, but I was never satisfied with how they turned out. This was one of those on-a-whim drawings and it was […]
A couple years ago, I binge-watched a bunch of Humphrey Bogart movies for the first time, and was a total fan by the end. I drew Bogie once before, but didn’t love how it turned out. I decided to try […]
I’m a big fan of Daniel Craig’s turn as James Bond 007, with Casino Royale being one of my top 10 films of all time. I drew this collage of images as an ode to Craig’s Bond, working in his […]
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 […]
Also in the anticipation of Leslie David Baker coming to 2021’s Office Super Fan Festival in Scranton, PA – where I was to be a vendor – I drew Leslie as Stanley Hudson on The Office, with Steve Carell from […]
I love old movies, and in wanting to expand my subject matter, I decided to draw the beautiful Sophia Loren (probably after seeing her again in House Boat with Cary Grant). Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/sofia-loren-drawing-print Purchase link for the original: […]
It’s true… sometimes I just draw random photos of friends I see on Instagram. haha. Charlotte is someone I became friends with over Instagram, and after she posted this image – which just radiated pure joy – I felt the […]
Ha! This one makes me smile. I love Hayley Atwell, I think she’s beautiful, and I loved her as Peggy Carter in the Captain America movies. But I also love interesting facial expressions to draw… and the source photo for […]
Here’s a little “looser” sketch that I did of the lovely Kate Winslet. Instead of spending the usual hours and hours (and hours) of work on a portrait, I decided to do this one as a bit more of a […]
I have a vivid memory as a kid, sitting in my grandparents’ living room, and my grandfather showing my family old Eddie Cantor films. I love his comedy, as well as how he blends music with his comedy — he […]
I know Kristin Kreuk has been in a bunch of shows and such, but I think it’s the show Chuck that I know her best from. The source image for this one was one I found on her Instagram account. […]
I couldn’t even tell you where I first saw Sienna Miller, but I’ve enjoyed seeing her in films over the years. I liked this unique image of her, but I definitely struggled capturing her likeness. Purchase link for the original […]
It’s funny, but I don’t think I was even looking for photos of Lucille Ball when I found the image I used as a source for this drawing. It seemed like such an unusual look for Lucy – and […]
In a continued effort to expand my list of subjects, I decided to draw the lovely Kristy Swanson, best known probably as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I loved her in the show Psych and several classic 90s movies. 🙂 […]
Here’s another freehand pencil portrait that took forever to finish. Again, if you’ve read some of my blogs, you’ll know I tend to randomly start drawings that seem to interest me in the moment, even if I know it won’t […]
Yep, I drew Evie again. I’ve said before I tend to have long days and by the time I sit down to draw at night, I just want to start something new. I really liked this pose of hers, […]
I love classic movies and with me binging a lot of Humphrey Bogart movies last year for the first time, I was inspired to draw the suave fellow. I drew this one freehand with various grades of graphite pencils. Purchase […]
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 […]
This was an interesting one to do, too, given the leathery/plasticky material of her body suit. Still a fun one!

In 2018, when I was working on a series of quicker sketches, I drew this one of Kate Mara. It was fun, and I captured some timelapse footage from the drawing session. Later, I decided to give it a bit […]
I’m always looking to expand my variety of subjects for drawing, and after seeing Katee Sackhoff on The Mandalorian, I thought I’d draw her as well. As usual, I drew this freehand with graphite pencils. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/katee-sackhoff-portrait-drawing-print-star-wars-battlestar-galactica Purchase […]
I love the source image I used for this – such a fun pose. I’m definitely a fan of Jennifer Aniston – especially as Rachel on Friends – and I just thought this was too fun not to attempt. 🙂 Purchase link […]
Someone else I just love drawing is Gal Gadot. She’s beautiful and she also makes some really fun expressions to draw. Ha. I drew this freehand with graphite pencils. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/gal-gadot-wink-pencil-drawing-print-wonder-woman-justice-league-85-x-11
Speaking of random images that I thought might make good drawings, I love the source photo of actress Ana de Armas making a face. So cute! She caught my attention in Knives Out and I also loved her in No […]
“This is the worst!” haha I thought it’d be fun to attempt this wacky expression of Michael Scott’s (Steve Carell) face in an episode of “The Office.” I drew this freehand, from a reference shot from the show, in all […]
As a huge fan of The Office, I do enjoy making new art for the fanbase – they’re also so very supportive, too — probably one of the most supportive fanbases I’ve ever encountered. So, really, it’s a joy to […]
In case you haven’t read previous posts I’ve written, I tend to keep a folder of images that, at some point, I thought “That might make a good drawing!” so when I just want to start something new on a […]
With all the love for the quirky Marvel show “WandaVision,” I decided to do a pencil drawing of Wanda and Vision in the classic TV appearance. It’s a great show and one of the better Marvel shows on Disney Plus. […]
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!
