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 Freehand Marker and Colored Pencil Drawing
I’m a real sucker for a good mashup.

Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic as Castle and Beckett from TV’s “Castle” Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
I’m definitely a fan of the show Castle. I found a promo photo of Nathan and Stana in this flirty pose and thought it’d be fun to do in black and white with just her lips, nail polish and ring in color with a lipstick mark on Rick’s face. This […]
Tommy Lee Jones in “Men In Black” Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
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 fun to give him-as-K a proper treatment. This is completely […]
Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in “Lost in Translation” Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
I loved the subtle relationship between Bob and Charlotte in “Lost in Translation.” This one was challenging (especially Scarlett’s tilted head), but fun to do – especially when adding color in with regular graphite pencil.

Joel and Clem from “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” Freehand Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
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 around 2006 – i think it was even like 16 […]
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 […]
