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 pencil. I also used some marker for her eyes and a white paint pen.

I tend to start some drawings and then only work on them intermittently over a course of a few months. This latest Kate Beckinsale attempt is one of those. I haven’t been able to draw her in a way I’m happy with, so this is yet another attempt. I don’t think this is quite there either, but who knows… maybe next time? 😉

How can you not love Jimmy Stewart? From The Philadelphia Story to It’s a Wonderful Life, he’s just a great actor from a bygone era. This one took a while to finish, but it was completely done in graphite pencil.

I’ve never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, but this was ordered as a commission piece by a customer for a friend of theirs who has become a faithful supporter of my work. I was thrilled to work on this for them. 🙂

It’s hard not to love Gisele… just saying. This one is another done entirely in colored pencil. 🙂

I originally intended this piece to just be a colored pencil portrait of Johnny Depp, but with the Black Pearly worked into it as well. However, I had a hard time working the Black Pearl into the image in a way that wouldn’t influence people to make jokes about… the positioning. Thankfully, my wife Amy suggested the Pearl in the bottle and the rest started falling into place. However, I found myself having to figure out what to do with the space to the right of Jack (his left), so I decided on a graphite drawing of Davy Jones. It was meant to be light, but I kept making it a little darker because it seemed TOO light. Then I decided to add the kraken tentacles behind him. Finally, as a last stroke of inspiration, I added in Jack’s compass, which also served as a solution for the space on the other side of the bottle!

To complete the unofficial trilogy of heroes and their vehicles, I decided to do a full color Marty McFly with his Delorean. And, as I was working on it, decided to put the clock tower in in the background as well.

This one was a bit of a challenge to pull back and try detail a little smaller. I liked the image and I wanted to give it a try… and when it was finished, I decided to add a little color by splashing some purple colored pencil off to the side to give it a little extra flavor. While I may still revisit Olga in a more detailed close-up drawing in the future, she saw this on social media and still liked it enough to share. 🙂 (Thanks, Olga!)

I’ve drawn Rachel before, but I haven’t been satisfied with how those drawings have turned out. I liked the source photo for this one — especially with the red in it — and was inspired to take a stab at it.

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 worked on this while on vacation in Disney World the week before the film’s release. And when it did release, I wanted to see it so badly, I went to the movie theater all by myself for the first time ever. It was weird, not gonna lie. But I’m glad I made the effort. As an introvert, going to the movies alone is no easy task. 🙂
