Hello, my name is Derek Lowes,
and I'm a doodle addict. Toronto, Ontario Canada Plus

A guy that draws and paints a lot. I love fountain pens, inks, watercolours and whatever else isn't boring right now. My art veers a lot of different places and can be somewhat directionless. I do a lot of urban sketching and try hard not to pre-sketch most things - but if I have a plan the pencils usually come out at first.

I specialize in illustration, mixed media, painting, pen and ink, whatever you need.

Just another test - working file to try and establish the feel of the book - problem i am having is book for adults, tweens, or kids - is it too scary? In the end there are a million things that harbour self doubt so better to just "do" instead of think too hard about it. - again just a test.

A working page for a book i am developing about vampires. i starts with a raw ink sketch, gets scanned and i work them up on a xp pen tablet - but this is just experimental - and not final.
