From lineart to vibrant color. I don't believe it is a coincidence that red and blue were chosen for this.

We are on the last day. The day I've been looking forward to because I get to share my favorite work. I will start from the sketch and end with a statement from N.C. Winters about the piece. 😊

Now that I can post again! Here's the last pic of the day of this gorgeous eye I found on NCW's insta.

Here's another process image of that eye. I've seen him working on pieces like this and he often works with both hands, sketching with one and painting with the other. 🤯

Only two days left of my artist spotlight on N.C. Winters' beautiful work. I dug up process images for this eye he did and it is breathtaking. Each next step is mindblowingly detailed.

So yeah! I was very wrong about him not being a dark artist, as you can see. lol
Additionally, he doesn't only work with ink and digital media. These two are acrylic. The Baron, though..Omg.

Good morning, Bluesky!
Another thing NCW does, I believe at the release of new work, is to had embellish some of the prints. Check out the differences!

NCW has created many butterflies and sells stickers of them in his store. I am in love with the one with the dark purple and copper color palette.

Here is another colorful piece that's even more bold. I absolutely love the amazing details of the iris; NCW is truly a master of giving eyes their living luster.

Today, I want to focus on NCW's application of color. While his attention to detail remains, he expertly applies color in ranges from subtle washes to vivids that look more real than reality.

Here another close look at those beautiful details. This is just one example of how eyes are often the focal point of his illustrations.
Media: Ink, Digital

Can we just stop and appreciate the shapes here. These perfectly imperfect line weights make such beautifully organic shapes. This is easily my favorite feature of N.C.W's work.
Medium: Ink
