Lemon plant yesterday

Ink drawing of my lemon plant. I don’t know why, but this ink has been doing some weird things with its pigment. Maybe a bit of isopropanol got in there somehow.

‘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
