In honour of International Left-Handers Day and my favourite date — the 13th — I created this grungy, hand-drawn mixed media piece celebrating the beauty, creativity, and mischief of the left-handed life. Watch as I sketch, ink, and paint on a page of my triskaidekaphilia sketchbook in my signature Corvus Arts style. From messy hand prints to golden lettering, and symbolic elements like Mercury for Wednesday — every mark is made with my left hand leading the way. Whether you’re a proud lefty, a fan of gothic & occult aesthetics, or just love watching raw creativity unfold to the sound of heavy music, this one’s for you. 🖤 Featuring: Sketching in pencil Inking with fineliners Watercolour washes & grunge textures Subtle occult symbolism Heavy metal instrumental soundtrack 🎸 📅 Created for my Southpaw Magic blog post – read the full story here: https://www.corvusarts.com/post/southpaw-magic-celebrating-left-handed-life-on-the-13th If you enjoyed the video, please like, comment, and subscribe – it helps keep the ink flowing and the ravens happy. #LeftHandersDay #SpeedArt #Thirteen #CorvusArts #GothicArt #OccultArt #AlternativeArtist

Welcome to the dark and messy side of love—where blood runs ink-black and devotion gets carved deep. In this speed art video, watch as I sketch, ink, and paint an anatomical heart, complete with the number 13 carved right into the muscle. This piece was created as part of my Thirteen Forever: A Love Letter to the Unlucky One blog post—a celebration of the weird, the witchy, and the beautifully cursed. Set to a heavy metal instrumental soundtrack, this one’s for the triskaidekaphiles, the doom-hearted romantics, and anyone who's ever felt a little too much. 🕯️ Watercolours. Ink. Punk attitude. 🖤 Real-time ruin. Eternal thirteen. 🧷 Read the blog post here: https://www.corvusarts.com/post/thirteen-forever-a-love-letter-to-the-unlucky-one 🖤 Follow more chaos on Instagram: corvusarts13 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe if your heart’s still beating. 💀 #ThirteenForever #GothicArt #Speedpaint #AnatomicalHeart #DarkArt #WatercolourArt #HeavyMetalArt #Triskaidekaphilia #AlternativeArtist #CorvusArts

Hello my Freaky Darlings! This is a speed art of the Jason Voorhees drawing I did for Friday 13th September 2024, which just so happens to be the same day that Jason met his fate 57 years ago... My story about this piece goes: "57 years ago, in 1957, one fateful Friday in September. The 13th, to be precise. An unfortunate young boy named Jason was being badly bullied by a bunch of horrible kids while staying at a camp by a lake. During this awful incident, Jason accidentally fell into the camp's lake and supposedly drowned. His body was never found..." *** Materials Used Uni Pin fineliners in black. Gouache in crimson red lake for the splatter. *** Music Misfits - Friday the 13th https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRHcHW7v2-Y *** #hellomyfreakydarlings #jasonvoorhees #jason #jasonvoorheesart #jasonvoorheesfanart #fanart #horror #horrorart #horrormovies #friday #fridaythe13th #friday13th #friday13thmovie #illustration #drawing #penandink #art #artist #corvusarts

Hello my Freaky Darlings! I wrote a journal post on my website and needed a picture for it. The weather was incredibly hot, for me anyway, at the time of writing, so I thought an image of an angry sun burning everything in its path would be fun! I decided it could be a good idea to film the creation process of the angry sun drawing and turn it into a speed art video. So, here it is. Enjoy! *** Link to my journal entry: https://www.corvusarts.com/post/wip-whateverday-life-update-06 *** Materials Used: Watercolour paper. Standard drawing pencil. UniPin fine liner in black. Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolours. Alphabet stamps and StazOn ink pad in black. Acrylic paint marker in white. Posca acrylic paint fine tip marker in black. *** #speedart #art #artist #artwork #corvusarts
