With my new shop at www.JohnDiBiaseArt.com, there are way more options for my listings than what Etsy could offer. So with that, I’ve decided to make the option for all my color prints to be available in a black-and-white option! Here are a few examples below…

Ray, Peter and Winston from Ghostbusters Afterlife Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Of course, with the reveal that the original Ghostbusters trio returned for the film’s finale… I also knew I wanted to draw these guys together. Some are upset I didn’t include Egon, too, but this shot in the film, with their expressions, didn’t include Egon. It wasn’t until the camera […]
James Bond “No Time to Die” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
It’s rare where I’m watching a movie for the first time and upon seeing a scene, I just know I want to draw it. I’ll never forget seeing this shot in No Time to Die and just knowing that second I wanted to draw it. I still think the original scene / […]
Mini-Puft Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
With the release of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” – AKA the bonafide Ghostbusters 3 – I was looking forward t0 making some all-new Ghostbusters themed art. The first one? Adorable little Mini-Puft! 🙂 I drew this one freehand using colored pencils and markers — it was certainly a lot of fun to do. 🙂 […]
Han and Chewie Star Wars Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
This one has a somewhat interesting story behind it. I started this one as a new Han and Chewie drawing for myself, but I ended up not being too thrilled with it, so I started a different one instead. Eventually, however, I went back and finished this one, and I […]
Jennifer Love Hewitt Freehand Graphite Drawing
For another drawing that was a random effort and practice, I drew this freehand graphite drawing of actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. The original drawing actually sold already. However, prints are still available 🙂 https://johndibiaseart.com/jennifer-love-hewitt-graphite-pencil-drawing-print-85-x-11
Jennifer Connelly Freehand Graphite Drawing
Ever since 1991’s “The Rocketeer,” I’ve loved Jennifer Connelly as an actress. I’ve tried drawing her a few times, but I was never satisfied with how they turned out. This was one of those on-a-whim drawings and it was a fun one to do. I drew it freehand using […]
Bogart and Bacall Freehand Graphite Portrait
A couple years ago, I binge-watched a bunch of Humphrey Bogart movies for the first time, and was a total fan by the end. I drew Bogie once before, but didn’t love how it turned out. I decided to try again, but this time with his wife Lauren Bacall in […]
James Bond / Daniel Craig Freehand Graphite Collage
I’m a big fan of Daniel Craig’s turn as James Bond 007, with Casino Royale being one of my top 10 films of all time. I drew this collage of images as an ode to Craig’s Bond, working in his character’s two great loves – Vesper and Madeline – and […]
Freehand Colored Pencil Commission of Black Widow
I have done quite a few commissioned Scarlett/Black Widow drawings for a customer, but since I actually like drawing Scarlett, it’s not really a problem. 🙂 This was drawn freehand with colored pencils.

Freehand Graphite Drawing of Evangeline Lilly
I have to admit that one of my favorite people to draw is actress Evangeline Lilly (LOST). So sometimes, when I’m not sure what to draw and I just want the challenge of trying to capture Evie’s likeness (again), I take a stab at a new portrait of her. I […]
Egon and Janine Colored Pencil Ghostbusters Drawing
Any diehard Ghosthead has greatly missed the passing of Harold Ramis. Even 2021’s “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” film honored his legacy as Egon Spengler. I drew this one to honor him, as I loved the candid moment between Harold and Annie Potts’ Janine Melnitz. This one was done all in colored pencil […]
“Date Mike” from The Office freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
Another piece I did in preparation for the Office Super Fan Fest is this freehand colored pencil drawing of Steve Carell as Michael Scott in “The Office,” specifically when he was “Date Mike” 🙂 For this I used some marker as a base for parts of it and went […]
Leslie David Baker as Stanley Hudson and Steve Carell as Michael Scott in “The Office” Graphite Pencil Drawing
Also in the anticipation of Leslie David Baker coming to 2021’s Office Super Fan Festival in Scranton, PA – where I was to be a vendor – I drew Leslie as Stanley Hudson on The Office, with Steve Carell from The Office. Sadly, Leslie stood up the festival and never […]
Leslie David Baker as Stanley Hudson in “The Office” Colored Pencil Drawing
In the anticipation of Leslie David Baker coming to 2021’s Office Super Fan Festival in Scranton, PA – where I was to be a vendor – I drew Leslie as Stanley Hudson on The Office, with hopes he could sign it in person. Sadly, Leslie stood up the festival and […]
Sophia Loren Freehand Graphite Drawing
I love old movies, and in wanting to expand my subject matter, I decided to draw the beautiful Sophia Loren (probably after seeing her again in House Boat with Cary Grant).

Charlotte Freehand Sketch
It’s true… sometimes I just draw random photos of friends I see on Instagram. haha. Charlotte is someone I became friends with over Instagram, and after she posted this image – which just radiated pure joy – I felt the urge to draw a sketch of it. (Thankfully, she and […]
Isla Fisher Toned Tan Sketch
As part of a series of looser, rougher colored pencil sketches on toned tan paper, I did this drawing of the lovely actress Isla Fisher. 🙂 Etsy link for the original. Prints available upon request: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1076483215/isla-fisher-original-sketch-not-a-print
Hayley Atwell Freehand Drawing
Ha! This one makes me smile. I love Hayley Atwell, I think she’s beautiful, and I loved her as Peggy Carter in the Captain America movies. But I also love interesting facial expressions to draw… and the source photo for this, which she posted on her Instagram, just screamed to […]
Kate Winslet Freehand Sketch
Here’s a little “looser” sketch that I did of the lovely Kate Winslet. Instead of spending the usual hours and hours (and hours) of work on a portrait, I decided to do this one as a bit more of a rougher sketch.
Eddie Cantor in “Roman Scandals” Freehand Drawing
I have a vivid memory as a kid, sitting in my grandparents’ living room, and my grandfather showing my family old Eddie Cantor films. I love his comedy, as well as how he blends music with his comedy — he was something special and one of the greats! I’ve struggled […]
Kristin Kruek Freehand Pencil Drawing
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. Etsy link to purchase the original drawing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1061761622/sienna-miller-original-graphite-drawing Prints are available upon request.
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 […]
Black Widow Movie Colored Pencil Drawing
With a new Black Widow movie (finally) out, I decided to do a new freehand colored pencil drawing of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. I love her in this role! Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1040952216/natasha-scarlett-johansson-in-black
Han Solo Colored Pencil Compilation Cover Art
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 […]
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.
