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 […]
