With the buzz over the first female-led Marvel movie last March, I set out to create this mixture of marker (as a base) and colored pencil drawing of Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. I’m a purist, so I prefer using just one medium at a time, but for a drawing […]

Colored Pencil Drawing of LEGO Batman from The LEGO Movie
LEGO + Batman… enough said! I’m hoping for this to be the start of a new series of colored pencil LEGO superhero portraits. Captain America is up next… https://www.etsy.com/listing/230811642/full-color-drawing-print-of-batman-from
A Handful of Original Drawings Now On Sale
I find it difficult to part with many of my original drawings, but I realize I can’t keep them all… So I’m cleaning shop a bit. These are original, 9×12 drawings — not prints/copies — so they’re one-of-a-kind, and once they’re gone, they’re gone! What is available: 1. Thor / […]
Pencil Drawing of Chris Evans as Captain America in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”
With the release of a new Captain America movie, I felt inspired to do a new Captain America drawing. I like the other two I did, but I liked that this poster art (the source photo I used to draw this) had Chris’s face in full. And, again, I used […]
Pencil Drawing of Chris Hemsworth as Thor in “Thor: The Dark World”
I recently did a new drawing of Loki and thought it only fair to do a new one of Thor (with more detail than the first drawing). See, when drawing freehand — for me, at least — I have some problems with laying out exactly how the proportions will go […]
Colored Pencil/Graphite Drawing of Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel
Here’s the final scan of the aforementioned Superman portrait. After seeing the film “Man of Steel” at midnight on 6/14/13, I started work on this drawing later that morning. I finished it three days later (but “four” sessions: 6/14, 15, 16, 17) in the AM… I used mostly Prismacolor Premiere […]
Pencil Drawing of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark (Iron Man)
When trying to think of another subject to draw next, I thought of the pending Iron Man 3 movie coming out and I thought about how I like the Iron Man/Tony Stark hybrid drawing I’ve done, but I knew the portrait of Robert Downey as Tony Stark could be better. […]
Full Color Captain America Colored Pencil Drawing
Graphite pencil is my comfort zone. I started out there, I feel most comfortable there. But it’s pictures like this one that inspire me to go color. It’s a vibrant source photo (a promo for The Avengers movie) and it just aches to be drawn in color. So I decided […]
Christian Bale as Batman Pencil Portrait
In July, 2012, I felt inspired by the new film The Dark Knight Rises to work on a Batman portrait. I’d actually worked on this before seeing it, and revisited the previous two films in the process. While working on it, I knew I’d wanted to have Batman and Bruce […]
Process of a Portrait: Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)
My latest project is Mark Ruffalo and Hulk which takes my personal experimentation of mixed media to the next level. Here, I decided to do Ruffalo/Bruce Banner entirely in pencil and then fill in Hulk completely in color. The other challenge was merging two different pictures for the first time […]
Chris Hemsworth “Thor” Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
The third in this series was Thor, which came together relatively quickly. However, as you can probably gather by looking at the drawing, the details in his suit were a bit more time consuming. Again, I used pencil as well prismacolor pencils for the red cape. (This scan doesn’t quite […]
Robert Downey, Jr. as “Iron Man” Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
After Cap, I decided to tackle another Avenger. This time, I decided to aim for filling in Tony Stark’s “arc reactor” tech with blue colored pencil. The portrait of Tony… didn’t come easy. I worked and reworked and reworked this drawing and almost gave up on it at one point, […]
Chris Evans “Captain America” Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawing
Inspired by seeing “The Avengers” film, I got the sudden urge to try a pencil / colored pencil hybrid drawing. I was pretty pleased with the results, actually, so it encouraged me to keep this personal experiment going with further drawings…and continuing the Avengers theme! I used a varying degree […]
