Busy People in Dizzingly-Detailed Scenes by Natsu Wakabayashi

I know it’s not exact­ly win­ter, but does­n’t this illus­tra­tion by Nat­su Wak­abayashi put you in the mood? Snow, ski­ing, hot chocolate…doesn’t sound so bad! This was the first image I saw by the Japan­ese illus­tra­tor, but it’s not the last. Nat­su’s enthralling port­fo­lio is full of busy scenes that are fas­ci­nat­ing in the amount of detail. Using pen and col­ored pen­cil, she draws tiny pat­terns, archi­tec­tur­al details, let­ter­ing on sinage. It’s impressive—make sure you spend time real­ly look­ing at each piece. You won’t be disappointed.
