I tend to go in cycles… I’ll do some color, then maybe all color, then no color… I feel like an all-graphite drawing is a palette cleanser or a reset button for me. Also, The Office is probably my all-time […]

I loved the new show for The Flash. I did a drawing once before that was mostly graphite with a splash of color, but I wanted to do one of all color too. This was an attempt at that. Purchase […]
I decided to do a Boba Fett colored pencil drawing, but I didn’t want to do just the usual piece, because so many have drawn him before me. I used what I think was simply a Hot Toys figure promo […]
I’m a real sucker for a good mashup. In anticipation of Star Wars: The Force Awakens I did this colored pencil/pencil/marker drawing of Kylo Ren from Star Wars with Ren & Stimpy (and Stimpy as Captain Phasma) Purchase link for […]
I always enjoy drawing a pretty face. I loved Elizabeth Banks in films like People Like Us, Love & Mercy, Fred Claus and even The LEGO Movie. This is entirely done freehand with an assortment of graphite pencil weights. Purchase […]

I’ve been a fan of Tommy Lee Jones since “The Fugitive,” but “Men In Black” cemented that for me. I’d drawn Tommy Lee from “U.S. Marshals” way back in high school and after revisiting the first MIB, thought it’d be […]

In the middle of working on other projects, while watching my Clean Films edit of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” I felt inspired to work on a new piece with Joel and Clem. (I actually did one for Amy […]
The latest pretty face I decided to draw was Natalie Portman. It’s entirely graphite (using 8B to get the black areas) and done freehand on 9×12 bristol paper. I want to keep pushing the photorealism, so this was a nice […]
