The Art of John DiBiase

Happy Monday! Here’s a repost of my freehand graphite drawing of @anyataylorjoy from 2 years ago. ☺️ Hope you all had a great weekend! #anyataylorjoy #graphitedrawing #portrait #drawing #fanart June 29, 2026 at 11:40AM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DaLNKNVOtZ9/

My favorite band @switchfoot just released their new album today. It’s really cool to have a band you’ve been listening to since high school releasing new music in your adulthood and it still hitting in new ways. I’ve actually been listening to the record for a few weeks now and “Natural Causes” has been an eerily on the nose soundtrack for a recent friendship collapse that’s definitely broken my heart. I’m glad I can finally share the song with y’all too. 🫶 (and I thought my colored pencil drawing of two friends sharing new music fits 💔) “When everything fell to pieces I was looking to find a reason for the pain And you said, “Everything has a season Why does it have to have a meaning anyway?” But I still can’t accept that we Were meant to fall away Fade away All my days turn back to night Dust to dust But I don’t want our love to die Of natural causes“ 💔 #switchfoot #naturalcauses #forevernow #theoffice #coloredpencil June 26, 2026 at 02:47PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DaDzvQ1AOPg/

Here’s something different. I’ve been wanting to draw this one for a few years now. DuckTales was one of my favorites growing up and now it’s a comfort show to revisit, so I literally took a photo of this shot in the last episode of the pilot and just kept it among images I wanted to eventually draw. I just got @strathmoreart’s blue-toned paper and this is the first piece I drew on it. Freehand colored pencil. Hope you guys dig it. It was fun. :) #ducktales #disneyafternoon #unclescrooge #scroogemcduck #coloredpencil June 25, 2026 at 02:37PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DaBOg5FGkgP/

Here’s a newly finished freehand pencil portrait of actress @evehewson - I saw her in Disclosure Day and thought she’d make a nice subject for a new drawing. Hope you guys like it! #evehewson #disclosureday #drawing #artwork #graphitedrawing June 24, 2026 at 02:02PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZ-lx1bmlG5/

Here’s a throwback to the time I took a drawing I did in 2004 of @KateBeckinsale and @johncusack in Serendipity and reworked it and fleshed it out in 2019. Same drawing. Just… revived. ☺️ (I’m doing this with a portrait from a while back. Will show it when I’m sure it’s done 😉) #serendipity #drawing #katebeckinsale #johncusack #artwork June 23, 2026 at 03:06PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZ8IQSUGtai/

Here’s a repost of my freehand colored pencil drawing of Woody from Toy Story. We saw Toy Story 5 last night and it was a lot of fun - definitely worth seeing. ☺️ #toystory5 #toystory #toystory4 #woody #tomhanks June 19, 2026 at 08:34PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZyZn6dgH_k/

Just finished rewatching all 4 Toy Story’s to get ready for seeing 5 tonight! Pretty stoked now. Thought I’d reshare my freehand colored pencil drawing of Buzz I did 7 years ago. Prints and the original are available in my shop! (I’m expecting to need tissues tonight. 😆🤧 “You’ve got a friend in me” is gonna hurt like a …) #toystory #timallen #buzzlightyear #toystory5 #fanart June 18, 2026 at 01:27PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZvFBIuGnbk/

Here’s an oldie. I drew this freehand graphite drawing a bit ago - Emily Blunt as Rita in “Edge Of Tomorrow”. Such an underrated movie! #edgeoftomorrow #emilyblunt #fanart #livedierepeat #artistsofig June 16, 2026 at 12:21PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZpzZx6Rcgj/

How has it been 20 years since Casino Royale??? It’s still one of my top movies. Here’s a throwback to several years ago when I did this freehand graphite drawing of @caterina_murino_official ☺️ Where are my other Casino Royale fans at?? #caterinamurino #casinoroyale #jamesbond #graphitedrawing #portraitdrawing June 15, 2026 at 12:49PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZnSOLzkWlD/

Just finished this brand new freehand colored pencil drawing of the lovely @evagreenweb - this was one I’ve kept as something I wanted to attempt for a while. I love the way her red jacket just beams with vibrancy. I wanted to try to capture it. Hope you guys like it! The original drawing and prints are in my shop now. #evagreen #coloredpencil #vibrance #red #artofinstagram June 13, 2026 at 03:18PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZiZqs0mopo/

Here’s going waaaaaaaaay back! An early freehand graphite pencil portrait drawing I did for my then-new-girlfriend @amydibiasephoto. Sadly, I was only thinking “Hey, SHE likes Titanic!” And not “this would be a super sad drawing!” 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ oh well. 🤷🏻‍♂️She still married me 5 years later. 😆 happy belated birthday hon! (It was yesterday) #titanic #drawing #artistsofinstagram #leonardodicaprio #katewinslet June 12, 2026 at 12:48PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZfjPeCOz5r/

Different setting for drawing today. Couldn’t figure out what to draw last night and landed on Kate and Jack from LOST. - I’ve never drawn them together. Amy (whose birthday it is today! Happy birthday hon!) and I just restarted the series again so I figured a new LOST piece was in order. ☺️ Anyway… long ways to go with this one still… #lost #evangelinelilly #matthewfox #artistsofig #fanart June 11, 2026 at 12:10PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DZc6PNiOWT-/

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/
