Male skin with graphite
Hello everyone! Oh my Gosh, is it July already?? (And it’s almost over!) Damn Coronavirus! Left me with an enormous load of work and I have neglected my blog. Anyways, here I am with a much anticipated tutorial: how to draw male (textured) skin with graphite pencils. Let’s break down the process to a few […]
Fast, easy background with colored pencils
Story of my life: I wanna draw a detailed portrait with a background, but I don’t want to spend countless hours on the background itself. Why? Because I cannot afford spending that many hours (time-wise), because drawing a background is boring and it drives me nuts and because the focal point is the portrait after […]
Drawing Will Smith as the Genie from “Aladdin”
I watched the 2019 “Aladdin” movie only recently (yep, yep, yep, shame on me, I know…) and I immediately fell in love with everything! Which says a lot, because I have not been a huge fan of Disney remakes lately. Drawing Will Smith as the Genie came naturally! Not without drama however… My town is […]
Running low on art supplies? No problem!
Today is the 22nd of March 2020, and like the rest of the World I am stuck home due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Being primarily a colored pencil artist, I am already beginning running low on art supplies. Cannot buy from local stores, everything’s shut down and I cannot order, the post office is really […]
Drawing Tom Hiddleston
Tom Hiddleston is one of my favorite actors, and I love “Loki” just because of him. He gave the character a unique personality.

Even though there is a ton of “tutorials” on the internet, they are either too complicated, or missing crucial points (intentionally or unintentionally!). Or they are not about […]
Drawing Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn
A drawing of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn from the upcoming “Birds of Prey” movie. A drawing that proved challenging in many ways, so glad it is finished. Or as finished as it can get, realism can be challenging, there is no limit on how detailed a drawing can be. So, truth to be told, […]
Draw this again vol3 – Captain Jack Sparrow
It has become a tradition. Since I began drawing, I make a Jack Sparrow artwork every two years. It is a good habit, not only because I love Captain Jack Sparrow, but also because I can track my progress this way. I did the original post 2 years ago, you can check it out here. […]
Drawing Vlahos
Oh, My, Gosh! Is it November already? Last couple of months were hectic, in a not-so-good way. But things are beginning to settle and here I am again, doing what I love the most. Vlahos is a friend whom I know since College, and Matina asked me to draw him. I was nervous about the […]
