Hugin and Muninby ~LeafyBug

Anthro / Traditional Media / Drawings

We’re currently learning about Old Norse mythology and literature at school, and after reading about Hugin and Munin I had to draw them in some way. I’ve never drawn ravens before, so I decided to do something simple. Hugin and Munin travelled around the world, bringing news to Odin, the Lord of the Gods. I really like their names, which by the way means “thought” (Hugin) and “memory” (Munin). They’re surrounded by old Norse runes.

I think it's really well done. Adding the runes frames the ravens beautifully. You've chosen a nice rustic style, which is in character to how they were originally drawn. It looks like your intuition guided you on this, which is the whole point of working with the runes. Good on you!!!
