About Derek
I'm a professional artist specializing in portraiture, concept art, and illustration. With a background rooted in traditional fundamentals, I focus on helping students build a strong foundation in structure, anatomy, proportion, and form—skills that are essential whether you're pursuing fine art or entertainment design. As someone who works across both realistic portraiture and imaginative illustration, I teach students how to observe, construct, and think visually. My lessons are hands-on, tailored to the individual, and aimed at developing not just technical ability, but a disciplined creative process. Whether you're preparing a portfolio, strengthening your basics, or exploring your artistic voice, I offer clear, focused guidance to help you grow.

I offer private art lessons specializing in portraiture, grounded in a strong focus on fundamentals. Whether you're a beginner learning to draw from observation or an intermediate artist looking to refine technique, my instruction is rooted in the core principles of realistic drawing: structure, proportion, value, form, and anatomy.
As a working professional in the portraiture industry, I guide students through time-tested methods—starting with basic shapes and gradually building toward accurate, expressive portraits. Lessons are tailored to each student's skill level and goals, with a clear emphasis on discipline, clarity, and progress.

Derek’s artistic skills are extremely flexible. From portraiture, to landscapes, to anime, Derek is a jack of all trades master of many. You can learn a lot from him
I had the pleasure of being taught by Derek last summer. When we met I had very little experience and he was patient with me, taking the time to explain the fundamentals of art. Not only did my skill improve but I gained a greater appreciation for art and a deeper understanding of what takes an art piece to the next level. I highly recommended Derek to anyone looking to learn more about art and become a better artist. His rates were fair and his dedication and overall talented are grately appreciated.
