The Art of John DiBiase

Brand new freehand graphite drawing of @adriaarjona just finished! This was another one completed on vellum surface paper. I really enjoyed coming back to vellum, but I think I’m ready to go back to smooth paper for a spell. 😆 #adriaarjona #starwarsandor #graphitepencil #quietbeauty #melancholy June 5, 2026 at 03:08PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZNyQ5qmjdN/

It’s been a minute since I shared this one. I always liked how this one turned out, too. I drew @rashidajones freehand in graphite and did the little heart lollipop in colored pencil. #rashidajones #parksandrec #annperkins #theoffice #artwork June 4, 2026 at 01:09PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZK_ausuvT3/

Finished a brand new freehand Ana de Armas graphite drawing. It’s true, I’ve drawn her a lot, but some nights I just want to start something new and her images can just be so striking. Anyway, I figured I’d try a vellum surface again with this one (much less smooth) and I actually had fun with it. Hope you like it! #anadearmas #graphitedrawing #artwork #portrait #artist May 29, 2026 at 12:10PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DY7cTPpjmiB/

As I finish up a new piece, here’s a throwback to my freehand graphite draining of @reesewitherspoon ☺️ this was a fun one! #reesewitherspoon #graphitedrawing #graphite #portrait #cute May 28, 2026 at 12:35PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DY458QjAGa5/

Here’s a throwback to quite a few years ago after I decided to get back into drawing regularly. This one is a mix of graphite and colored pencil, and I believe it’s on Bristol vellum instead of smooth. (And it was drawn freehand like all my other drawings). (Prints and the original drawing are both available ☺️) #lukeskywalker #starwars #markhamill #empirestrikesback #starwarsart May 26, 2026 at 12:49PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DYzxx_jxNXJ/

Decided to try a vellum surface again (instead of smooth) and kinda liking it. Not sure I’ll return fully to vellum, but it’s been a while since I enjoyed using it. #vellum #graphitedrawing #anadearmas #artwork #pencils May 25, 2026 at 12:53PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DYxNyWRR70E/

With the new Mando movie out, I thought I’d share a few licensed @topps sketch cards I did a few years back that are Grogu and Mando specific :) #themandalorianfanart #starwars #themandalorian #grogu #topps May 23, 2026 at 02:50PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DYsRzVqkV0Q/

Proud dad moment. 🥰 loved seeing my boy crush it as the lead in his school play tonight. Proud of you, son! 🫶 May 22, 2026 at 09:27PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DYqaVrzty5s/

Thought it’d be fitting to repost my freehand colored pencil drawing of “The Child” from several years ago - before we knew him by his name, Grogu. 🥰 The movie was a lot of fun! Basically a 4th season condensed into 2 hours. 😆 looking forward to seeing it again. #themandalorianandgrogu #grogu #themandalorian #coloredpencil #starwarsart May 22, 2026 at 10:35AM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DYpPg7but0v/

So stoked to see @themandalorian & Grogu tonight! Who else is going? And I just finished rewatching the series again. Here’s a repost of my freehand colored pencil and marker drawing from a season 2 scene. #starwars #themandalorianandgrogu #themandalorian #grogu #artoftheday May 21, 2026 at 12:10PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DYm17qvjuvn/

Thought I might reshare this freehand colored pencil portrait of Jim and Pam I did a few years ago. (And reworked it a bit a few years later). It’s also available in my art shop - the original drawing - if you’d like to add it to your personal space. 🌸 I still love these two! @johnkrasinski @msjennafischer #johnkrasinski #theoffice #jennafischer #pambeesly #jimhalpert May 18, 2026 at 01:41PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DYfRdMSu-kq/

Just gotta reshare my freehand graphite drawing of @ginajcarano again because it’s fight night and I’m absolutely #teamgina 💪 Go Gina!! #ginacaranao #mma #graphitedrawing #artistsoninstagram May 16, 2026 at 01:47PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DYaIj8KgaAC/

Just finished this new freehand graphite drawing of @eizagonzalez - I couldn’t avoid a glare on the shiny graphite so the second image is a computer scan of it. Loved working on a close-up portrait again. 😍 (it’s also available in my shop if anyone is interested!) #eizagonzalez #graphitedrawing #artwork #pencilportrait #artistsofinstagram May 14, 2026 at 02:00PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DYVA_c_mnbM/

Excited to see Top Gun Maverick on IMAX again today -it’s definitely one of the best IMAX experiences! Here’s a repost of my freehand colored pencil drawing of Maverick and Penny from a couple years ago.
