I’m Emily Lucas – an illustrator based in Edinburgh. I draw lots and make comics, paintings, tapestries and all sorts. I would love to collaborate or work with you! My illustrations are busy and colourful – with a graphic line and playful tone. I most like to draw with felt tip pens and fine liners which I can then digitally colour or edit. I love working with others and enjoy the creative results of collaboration. I also love to sew and stitch, using fabric and textile to bring ideas to life. Within my illustrations I aim to create playful and exciting designs that focus on storytelling and everyday life inspired by the world around me, stories and patterns.
