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

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.

Not sure where this came from but here it is...

Something I was working on for a draw in your style challenge on instagram.... I gave up half way - it was taking too much energy...

Stilllman&Birn nova tone ... experimenting with some darker papers this ones got a great feel

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.

Watercolour Pencils mostly....

Drawing Prompt Submission

Oil on Canvas Board

Moleskin Watercolour Sketch

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.
