Now for something a little different… I have always loved making mixtape cover art on the computer, but when my website JFH started doing compilations in 2012 to showcase indie artists, I had fun drawing the covers or taking photos for the covers for each one. For Vol. 10 of […]

Gina Carano “Cara Dune” Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
Gina Carano definitely got a raw deal with the overreactions from social media extremists. I wanted to draw a different pose for Gina as her Star Wars character Cara Dune, since so many people were doing renditions of the same images of her. I loved the look of Cara taking […]
Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing of The Mandalorian and Grogu
With the craze of Disney+’s The Mandalorian, I wanted to do a new drawing of Mando with Grogu (aka “Baby Yoda”) and set out to do a freehand drawing of the two of them flying. I did this one with marker as a base and colored pencils. Etsy link for prints: […]
Han Solo and Chewbacca Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I wanted to do a new original drawing of Han and Chewie from the first Star Wars film, so I actually had started a different portrait of the two in late 2020 before scrapping it and starting over with this one (I actually started back on that first drawing in […]
“Mandalorian” Boba Fett Freehand Colored Pencil and Marker Drawing
With the official return of Boba Fett in The Mandalorian, I decided to fast-track a new drawing of him (Of course he ends up fixing his beat-up armor. haha) I drew this freehand with colored pencils and some marker as a base. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/914239300/boba-fett-the-mandalorian-version-full Etsy link for […]
Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
With Clone Wars animated character Ahsoka Tano finally coming to the small screen in live action form – played by Rosario Dawson – in the second season of The Mandalorian, it seemed appropriate to try to capture her in drawn form. Here’s my freehand colored pencil drawing from late 2020. 🙂 […]
Chewie (Guinea Pig) Freehand Graphite Drawing
In 2005, the weekend that Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith released, my wife and I came home with a darling new baby boy… guinea pig (May 21, 2005). And so we named him Chewie. Chewie was my best pal for the four years we had him before a […]
Leia Organa “Hoth” with AT-AT Commissioned Drawing
While I had drawn this image of Leia before already, a client wanted me to draw it again and merge it with a wintery Hoth battle scene. I drew it all freehand in graphite pencil with some colored pencils, too. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/862217885/princess-leia-carrie-fisher-in-star-wars
Andy Serkis Character Drawing Portrait
One actor we hoped to see at the Keystone Comic Con convention who inevitably cancelled is the ever versatile Andy Serkis — known best as Gollum from Lord of the Rings, but also as the voice and performance of Caesar from the recent Planet of the Apes trilogy and Snoke […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Billy Dee Williams (Autographed)
Can I just say, what a pleasure it was to actually get to meet Billy Dee Williams! It’s hard to imagine that, in one year, I met actors from my two all-time favorite movies! In April, it was meeting Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters– on my birthday, mind you! Then, as […]
Graphite and Colored Pencil Portrait of Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars
To finish – at least for now – my young & old series for Star Wars characters, I set out to draw Obi-Wan Kenobi. The interesting part about this one, was that it was the only character who was played by two different people. But I definitely liked how it […]
Han Solo and Han Solo Young and Old Freehand 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. Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/605343871/drawing-print-of-colored-pencil-drawing
Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in “The Last Jedi” and “Empire Strikes Back”
This is a freehand Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi and Empire Strikes Back to go along with the recent Leia piece. And, upon its completion, I decided it was time to add Han to the mix… Etsy link for prints: […]
Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing of Carrie Fisher as Leia in “The Last Jedi” and “Empire Strikes Back”
This is a freehand Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing of Carrie Fisher as Leia in The Last Jedi and Empire Strikes Back that I did to honor our fallen princess. I wanted to merge her last appearance in Star Wars with one of her more beloved appearances in a Star […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”
In preparation for seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I decided to do a freehand colored pencil portrait of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. I love these movies; I grew up on the original trilogy, so Luke has always been a hero of mine. After seeing the movie, this portrait […]
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 […]
2017 Topps “Star Wars MasterWork” Sketch Cards
Over the summer 2017, I drew 46 sketch cards for Topps Trading Cards for their 2017 Star Wars MasterWork series. The cards are a high-end collector’s series that includes random sketch cards from a slew of great artists as bonus cards inside trading card packs. The sketches are the actual […]
Anakin versus Darth Vader commission piece
As a commissioned piece through Etsy, I did this marker and colored pencil drawing that shows Darth Vader/Anakin battling his Jedi self, with the Emperor pulling the strings in the background. It was challenging, but also kind of fun. 🙂 Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/562515713/color-pencil-marker-drawing-print-of
Freehand Colored Pencil Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso in “Star Wars: Rogue One”
I get really frustrated with myself with my work. I may like something after I finish it, but I usually find something wrong with it and then don’t like it anymore. That’s what happened with my previous Jyn drawing. This one… I wanted to do something different and try to […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Han and Leia (Harrison Ford & Carrie Fisher) from “Star Wars”
Sigh. It’s hard to believe Carrie Fisher is really gone… I use my iPad as a way to display the source photo I’m drawing so I can look at the image and then try to replicate it on the paper nearby (by eyeballing it). Anyway, I keep a folder of […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Diego Luna as Cassian Andor in “Star Wars Rogue One”
I loved Star Wars: Rogue One and wanted to do a portrait of Cassian. This was definitely a tricky one to work on. (Freehand colored pencil) Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/501971973/colored-pencil-graphite-drawing-print-of
Drawing of Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”
This one was really fun. I decided to draw Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso to get ahead of the upcoming film (which I’m super stoked for!), and as I worked on her portrait in colored pencil, I decided to abandon the original background for Darth Vader. And then it just […]
Updated Han Solo Colored Pencil Portrait
While talking to a coworker about this drawing, we wondered why I never just drew the part of his gun that was cut off in the original drawing and put them together for the prints made of it. … so I went home that night and did just that (and […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of John Boyega as Finn in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”
After Rey and Han, I decided to work on Finn… the source was another poster art image, but I decided to give him the Starkiller Base background with snow — as if Finn was engaging with – or about to – Kylo Ren. This one took a bit longer, but […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Daisy Ridley as Rey in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”
After drawing Han in all color – and liking the result (and process), I decided to revisit Rey already and give her a proper color drawing. The source image is just about perfect, with TIE fighters in the distance, but I didn’t want to just replicate it exactly, so I […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Harrison Ford as Han Solo
After having drawn a colored pencil / pencil hybrid of Han, I decided I wanted to try my hand at a fully colored pencil Han Solo — with full intentions of hanging it in my basement, where I do all my drawing. So I ended up doing my best to […]
Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing of Harrison Ford as Han Solo with Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon
With Han Solo being my favorite Star Wars character of all the films and extended canon, The Force Awakens definitely hit a sweet spot, so to speak. I loved seeing Han again, but it also left me with a need for closure. Ha… so this was my first homage to […]
Rey and BB-8 “Star Wars” Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
With the excitement of the release of the 7th Star Wars film, and after having seen it and loved it, I felt inspired to work on some Force Awakens art. This one of Rey with BB-8 is all graphite except for some colored pencil accents here and there. Etsy link: […]
Boba Fett Colored Pencil Drawing
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 image as inspiration and wanted to incorporate the Sarlacc and […]
“Kylo Ren & Stimpy” Spoof
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) Etsy link for the original: https://www.etsy.com/listing/251818321/drawing-of-kylo-ren-stimpy-star-wars
