I love the BBC show Sherlock and have done a couple drawings of these guys before (several years ago now), but I’ve never drawn them in color. The reference photo I used for this drawing not only was saturated in blue colors, but had the guys standing further apart. I […]

Colored Pencil Drawing of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange
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 paint marker to assist in the details of his magical […]

Colored Pencil Sketch of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins in “The Hobbit” Trilogy
While working on a commission piece and also while working on another portrait, I felt inspired to visit Blick and get some different papers to experiment on. Also, I wanted to try my hand at some quick original drawings that I could work on in a few hours and sell […]

Once the modern update, “Elementary” hit TV, I decided it wasn’t worth subscribing to and didn’t watch it. I heard through the grape vine that it was pretty good, so I decided to […]

Drawing of Martin Freeman as John Watson in BBC’s Sherlock
Somehow I missed posting this one, but I did really enjoy working on Sherlock’s Watson. I love Martin Freeman as an actor and I originally hadn’t planned on drawing him as Watson, but after watching the show–and then drawing Benedict — I felt I needed to add Watson. For this […]
Drawing of Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes
After heeding a friends recommendation to watch the BBC “Sherlock” show (thanks Beca!) and discovering just how excellent it is, I also learned how big of a following the show really has. So after a few requests for a portrait drawing of Benedict, I decided to take the leap. I […]
Pencil Portrait of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit
Following seeing The Hobbit, I felt inspired to draw this Martin Freeman suited up as Bilbo Baggins. The detail in the shirt was definitely a challenge, but it felt worth it in the end. It was done entirely with just regular wood drawing pencils I believe. [Etsy Listing for Ordering […]
