I’ve been a fan of singer Plumb since her debut in 1997. The day after I took my son to see TobyMac in concert in November, 2018, we went to see Plumb in concert as well. I actually gave her a drawing I did of her a few years ago […]

Simone Dawn De Kock Colored Pencil Drawing
This one is easily one of my favorite drawings I did in 2018. In addition to having a beautiful subject (lovely model Simone Dawn De Kock), I just found it a fun and challenging image to try to capture. Not only is she lying on a beach (in SAND, mind […]
Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) from “Solo: A Star Wars Story” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Let’s be real. It’s hard to imagine anyone else as Han Solo than Harrison Ford. But apparently, Disney could. Alden Ehrenreich did a good job as the character, even if it didn’t feel all that much like the Han we’ve come to love over the past 40 years since he […]
Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing for Cover Art
For as long as I’ve loved music, I’ve loved making mixtapes, mix CDs and playlists. For several years now, my music website – Jesusfreakhideout.com – has been releasing independent music samplers – completely FREE to download. For the latest one, I decided to draw Chris Pratt as Peter Quill / […]
Han Solo and Han Solo Young and Old Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
Joining Leia and Luke in my young-and-old series is this Han Solo freehand drawing I did. I drew Han young from A New Hope in colored pencil and him older in graphite from the Force Awakens.

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
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 […]
“Thor Ragnarok” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 by making a collage. It’s entirely freehand with colored pencil […]
Henry Cavill as Superman in “Justice League” Commissioned Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
My favorite kind of commission pieces to do are ones where I actually like the subject matter. A wonderful new client requested an original drawing of Superman for herself in full color. This was a fun piece to do because I love Henry’s interpretation of the Man of Steel. This […]
Blake Lively Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Gotta love Blake Lively! I loved her in Age of Adaline and have been a fan since. I thought this photo of her was lovely and I tried my best to do it justice in colored pencil form. I drew it freehand on white Strathmore smooth bristol paper. Link for […]
Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore Ghostbusters Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing on Black Paper
This piece was one I drew freehand for a free indie mp3 compilation for my website, Jesusfreakhideout.com. The drawing was done on black Strathmore Artagain paper in colored pencil. I used several different references to make it all work, including a wide shot from Ghostbusters, then two different close-up moments […]
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 […]
Gisele Bundchen Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
It’s hard not to love Gisele… just saying. This one is another done entirely in colored pencil. 🙂 Link to purchase the original drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/gisele-bundchen-original-drawing-not-a-print Link for purchasing prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/color-drawing-print-of-gisele-bundchen
Chris Pratt as Star-Lord with the Milano (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 was drawn entirely in colored pencil. Fun fact – I […]
Stana Katic Freehand Colored Pencil Portrait Drawing
Stana is a joy to draw. I tend to keep a folder on my iPad of photos I may someday like to try to draw, and this was one that kept coming up. It turns out that I had completely forgotten that it was an image that had been requested […]
Jessica Alba Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
After finishing Gerard, I decided it was high time to finish some portraits that I’d started but never completed. This one was started in September and wasn’t finished until early December! Freehand colored pencil Jessica Alba.

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
The best thing about Batman v Superman may have been Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. And I have to admit I’m excited for the upcoming solo film in 2017. This is a freehand colored pencil drawing of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman from the upcoming movie.

Richard Dean Anderson as “MacGyver” Colored Pencil Portrait Drawing
With the resurgence of MacGyver with the recent TV reboot, I felt inclined to draw a childhood hero again. I had drawn one or two Mac portraits back in the 90s — one for a friend’s birthday — and I was just never happy with how they turned out. I […]
Kate Mara Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Here’s my freehand colored pencil portrait of actress Kate Mara. I was surprised by how it came out (and that I actually like it. 🙂 ) Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/drawing-print-of-actress-kate-mara
Chris Pine as Captain Kirk in “Star Trek Beyond” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Speaking of pop culture characters, I decided to venture into the recent reboot of the Star Trek series to try to tackle the current Captain Kirk (Chris Pine). This one was done completely in colored pencil. Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/chris-pine-as-captain-kirk-drawing-print
“Friends” Joey, Chandler and Ross Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
It was tough to find a good promo photo of all three Friends guys that looked like the guys did later in the series. Surprisingly, all of the promo photos were from earlier in the series (and fans know how much Chandler changed throughout the show). I did my best […]
“Friends” of Monica, Rachel and Phoebe Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I didn’t watch the show “Friends” when it aired. I’ve seen a couple episodes before, but not much. Although, I do remember having some family over for the airing of the series finale. Recently, I started binge-watching the show on NetFlix while drawing and just fell in love. I decided […]
Marty and Doc from “Back To The Future II” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Another movie I like doing drawings for is Back To The Future. But I’ve never done a drawing of Marty and Doc together. This image is pretty iconic–which is also shared in both the first and second movies (although I do think this is probably at the beginning of Back […]
Bill Murray as Peter Venkman in “Ghostbusters” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Even though Hollywood has made a parody of the original “Ghostbusters” film with a reboot (which I refuse to see), the 1984 film is still my all-time favorite film. And it’s just really fun to draw these guys. I love this crazy image of Bill yelling in the Sedgewick hotel […]
Gal Gadot Freehand Colored Pencil Portrait Drawing
I still am not all that comfortable with colored pencil. I see a lot of colored pencil drawings on Instagram and I just marvel at the detail and life-likeness. Granted, a lot of these drawings are mixed media, but not all of them. And while I like to stick with […]
Captain America Drawing (from “Civil War”) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 pencil (which is typically my process for colored pencil drawings) […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Elizabeth McGovern as Snow White
Sometimes I get the honor of doing commission pieces. This is a full-color colored pencil drawing of Elizabeth McGovern as Snow White from “Faerie Tale Theatre”.
Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier in “Civil War” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Since “Captain America: The First Avenger,” the superhero has quickly become my favorite superhero. In the sequel, his MIA best friend, Bucky, resurfaced as a brainwashed super assassin (hey, it was in the comics) called The Winter Soldier. He made a cool villain, but it was also terribly tragic since […]
Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in “The Last Crusade” Colored Pencil Drawing
I love Indiana Jones. And between Han Solo and Indy, Harrison Ford is easily one of my favorite actors. I’ve done a couple Indiana Jones drawings through the years, but I haven’t really made one I’ve been proud of. This one was definitely a challenge, but I’m pretty happy with […]
Jim and Pam from TV’s “The Office” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Yes, I’ve been getting into colored pencil more – I do want to keep getting better at it, and I am (mostly) enjoying the challenge. The Office just might be my all-time favorite TV show, and I just love Jim & Pam. Who wouldn’t want a love like theirs? And […]
