Hi, I'm Derek!

I am a creative director and illustrator based in Bangalore, India. Before co-founding Studio Sideline, I worked as an IP development artist in Disney, India, and as an Associate Producer for about three years. I have also freelanced as an illustrator and animator for various brands such as Redbull, TedX, Swiggy, and many more. Now, I'm currently creating content for my social media with over 1,000,000 followers, where I get to interact with artists globally.

I’m excited to announce that I’ll soon be opening the registrations for my three online courses on digital art!  By signing up for my waitlist, you’ll secure a special discount on all of my courses. There’s no obligation—just the opportunity to purchase at a lower price when the courses go live. =)
