Twiske trees

Drawing trees again today with Katsia in Het Twiske. Maybe not as many as I’d hoped for, but hey. Available now, by the way, as a print from Etsy.

      Sketching at NDSM

      Sketching at NDSM on Saturday with the Amsterdam Urban Sketchers. I realised just how rusty I’ve got at sketching. When I lived in Amsterdam, I wouldn’t think twice about whipping the sketchbook out.

      ‘Barked Once’ is from ‘Derek Bacon’. 

      I’m originally from Bedfont, near Heathrow, but I now live in a really quiet part of the Netherlands. I’ve also lived in Poole, Madrid, Jakarta and Amsterdam.

      The pictures are made in a few different ways. Some of the illustration work is drawn digitally, but I also love working in ink and pencils, especially if I’m doing people. Sometimes the pictures end up being a mix of things.

      To commission an illustration, or anything else you’d like to ask about, feel free to get in touch.

      Cheerio,
      derek
