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 this original sketch: https://johndibiaseart.com/kylo-ren-and-stimpy-original-colored-pencil-and-marker-drawing-not-a-print-9×12 Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/kylo-ren-and-stimpy-colored-pencil-and-marker-drawing-print-85-x-11

Natalie Portman Freehand Graphite Drawing
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 exercise in practicing… Purchase link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/drawing-print-of-natalie-portman-portrait-star-wars-thor
Kylo Ren from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
I don’t typically draw characters before a movie comes out and I have some kind of appreciation or connection to them, but as I get more and more pumped for the new Star Wars film, once this image debuted, I felt the urge to work on a colored pencil drawing […]
Colored Pencil Sketch of Darth Vader in Star Wars
The same night I finished Ron Perlman as Vincent, I decided to try to punch out a quick sketch. Less than 2 hours later (with some of that time being spent drawing this while watching TV), I had this Darth Vader colored pencil drawing. It’s on 9×12 Toned Gray paper. […]
Darth Vader Freehand Colored Pencil and Graphite Portrait Drawing
Sometimes it can be pretty hard to decide on an image of a person or character to draw. It’s one thing to see an image and think “I want to try drawing that!” and another to know who or what you want to turn into a drawing, but unsure of […]
Yoda “Empire Strikes Back” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Continuing to practice more with colored pencil, I decided to work on Yoda from my second favorite film of all time, The Empire Strikes Back. This one was certainly a challenge, but a rewarding experience regardless. I used all Prismacolor colored pencils and a little graphite to get in some […]
More Original Pieces Up for Sale
It’s time for me to part with some more of my original works. I store them in my portfolios and I realize they’re just being “wasted” hidden in between pages of other hidden works — when people can be enjoying them on their walls or wherever. The pricing depends on […]
Harrison Ford as Han Solo Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Truth be told, colored pencil is outside my comfort zone. However, I see other artists do INCREDIBLE things with it all the time, and it makes me want to push myself to get better at it. I decided I want to try my hand at more colored pencil work and […]
Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Freehand Colored Pencil and Graphite Pencil Drawing
After working on the screenshot from Back To The Future and enjoying it so much, I decided to try my hand at another favorite movie scene. This time I took a screenshot from The Empire Strikes Back, the fifth (or second, depending how you look at it) Star Wars film. […]
Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in Star Wars Freehand Graphite Pencil Drawing
I’ve been on a Star Wars kick lately and I realized, while I’ve drawn Luke and Han a couple times, I’ve never drawn Leia. So this was an attempt to draw Leia but not using one of the typical iconic pictures of her. Empire Strikes Back is still my favorite […]
Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
After drawing Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark, I decided to try tackling a lightsaber-wielding Jedi for the first time. I’ve wanted to do a Star Wars hybrid like this and I enjoyed Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan in the prequels, for the most part. This was pretty fun and challenging. All […]
Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker Freehand Graphite Pencil Portrait Drawing
After I finished the Mac drawing, I wasn’t sure what to work on next. I came to decide that I’ve never drawn Luke Skywalker and that needed to be remedied. This is a drawing of a promo shot of Luke / Mark Hamill for Empire Strikes Back. All of it […]
Han Solo Freehand Graphite Pencil Portrait Drawing
I’d started a drawing of Han Solo about eight or nine years ago, but never finished it. So last fall, while I couldn’t find the first drawing, I started a new one during a new season of drawings. This one is from Empire, I believe, and I used an array […]
