I'm Still Lurking

Hello my Freaky Darlings! Whoa! What happened? Where did all that time go!? It’s been over a year and a half since I last wrote in this jour

Happy 13th October! . Hello my Freaky Darlings! I just wanted to mark the thirteenth day of my favourite month and to say, have a happy and lucky day! . Many people are convinced that number 13 is unlucky. Not all agree. Some claim that number 13 is actually quite lucky. . Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of number thirteen. The word “Triskaidekaphobia” is made up of the Greek words: tris (meaning “three”) kai (meaning “and”) deka (meaning “ten”) phobia (meaning “fear”). . Paraskavedekatriaphobia is the very specific fear of Friday the thirteenth. . Triskaidekaphilia means someone who has a love for the number thirteen, like me! . . . . . #hellomyfreakydarlings #thirteen #triskaidekaphilia #triskaidekaphobia #happy #curiosities #artist #artistlife #instaartist #artistsoninstagram #witchesofinstagram #ravenhq #emilyravencrafts https://www.instagram.com/p/CU-AlFnjugh/?utm_medium=tumblr

You Are Worthy! . Hello my Freaky Darlings! . I recently felt the need to do this drawing of the mighty god Thor. A lot has inspired this piece. I’m not going to share certain details as they are deeply personal. . I have written a blog post, portal to post, telling a bit about why I drew this image of Thor…

Don't Think About Making Art

Just get it done. Hello my Freaky Darlings! Yesterday, I created this page with a brilliant quote from the Pop Artist Andy Warhol in my journal for #MondayMotivation. This is great advice because it's easy to get trapped in the...

Hello my Freaky Darlings! I just wanted to remind you that life is a work in progress. You are a work in progress. And that is a great thing! 😊 It means you are changing, learning, growing, progressing… and progress equals happiness! Also, don’t be too hard on yourself; slow progress is better than no progress 💜 I am a work in progress. Are you? Much Love and Blessed Be Emily xxx

Hello my Freaky Darlings! I’ve been painting some liquorice allsorts pieces for a backdrop to go on a show stand. They were a last minute idea of mine to help my Mum, who is setting up and running the stand, with others, at the 39th Carole Nash International Classic MotorCycle Show! The theme for the bike stand is “Allsorts”. Mum has promised a photo of the finished display. A more detailed, “how-I-made-it” blog post will follow soon… 😊

Rough sketches of ravens… or is it sketches of rough ravens? 🙃😉

Hello my Freaky Darlings!

I am pleased to announce that I have, at last, made my first ever YouTube video! 😄 This is a "speed art" of me drawing my Emily Raven Crafts logo, with a cracking intense symphonic metal cover soundtrack to accompany. The music is one of my favourite classical pieces; In The Hall Of The Mountain King from Edvard Grieg's play Peer Gynt. The piece has been masterfully arranged and produced by FalKKonE into epic heavy metal classical awesomeness! 🤘

For the drawing of the logo, I first mapped out the hexagon frame onto cartridge paper using a Jakar compass. Next, I drew in the lines with pencil and ruler, then sketched in the design with pencil - Rotring Tikky mechanical pencil to be precise. 😜 Then I inked in the drawing with a black Sakura Pigma Micron fine liner size 08. Finally, I coloured in the larger areas of black with a Sharpie Fine Point marker.

Let me know what you think. Leave a like and comment, subscribe to my channel if you would like to.

Much love and Blessed Be

Whoops! I didn’t mean to be quiet for so long! 😖 . Hello my Freaky Darlings! What have I been doing for the last two weeks? Well, I have mostly been working my day job but, in my spare time I’ve been creating my first ever art commission! . I was asked to draw an image of Groot, from the Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy, to be a birthday gift for a friend of the client. . Groot is one of my favourite characters, so I was chuffed to be asked to draw him! 😄
