Esther van der Drift

I’m Esther van der Drift, an illustrator and designer based in the Netherlands. I specialize in fashion, beauty and lifestyle illustration, drawing anything from runway models and portraits, to handbags, jewelry, food and florals.

My artwork is minimalist and feminine. I aim to capture beauty and emotion with simple lines and limited color palettes. For creating my work I favor a mixture of ink, watercolor and digital means to give it a clean yet authentic look.

Together with my two ragdoll cats Yuna and Maki I live in the relatively small city of Vianen. When I’m not at work in my home studio, I love to read, watch Netflix or play (video)games with friends.
