Pencil Artist of the Week: Wilfrid Barbier

This week’s featured artist is Wilfrid Barbier, a pencil artist from Canada who creates color pencil drawings based on photographs taken during his travels.

Each drawing in Wilfrid’s gallery features a short caption describing the subject depicted and when/how the original photograph was taken. These captions give a bit of insight into the artist’s creative process, from capturing the photograph to transforming the image into a drawing.

Wilfrid works primarily with Prismacolor color pencils, but sometimes adds Caran d’Ache color pencils into his rotation. Regardless of what tools he uses, Wilfrid’s drawings all feature an impressive amount of detail and realism.
