I know Kristin Kruek 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 drew it freehand with graphite pencils. Etsy link for […]

Sienna Miller Freehand Pencil Portrait
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.

Lucille Ball Freehand Graphite Portrait
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 I loved it! I drew this one freehand with graphite […]
Freehand Graphite Kristy Swanson Portrait
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. 🙂 Etsy link for the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1076135341/kristy-swanson-original-graphite-drawing (Prints available upon […]
Gwyenth Paltrow Pencil Portrait
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 necessarily be a crowd-pleaser, so to speak. This is a […]
Evangeline Lilly Drawing
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, with the hair up and unusually styled. Etsy link for […]
Humphrey Bogart Pencil Portrait
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.

Emily Blunt Pencil Drawing
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 – face to draw. (And she’s just lovely!) This was […]
Margot Robbie Freehand Graphite Portrait
This was an interesting one to do, too, given the leathery/plasticky material of her body suit. Still a fun one!

Kate Mara Sketch
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 more of a finished look, but it’s still kind of […]
