Polina Shustova Develops Pencil Fest 2026 Posters as a Hand Drawn Visual Identity Celebrating Raw Creative Expression
The posters for the 2026 Pencil Fest immediately catch the eye with their vibrant, handcrafted energy. They were created by hand, not digitally—you can feel the texture of the paper, the roughness of the lines, and the rich textures found in real pencils, wax crayons, and sometimes gouache and felt-tip pens. The posters seem to be imbued with the scent of a workshop, where everything crunches, stains your fingers, and breathes true creativity. The text on the posters isn’t written in a neat font
