Anime Yearbook: Students

Last year, on the yearbook committee during Gr. 10, I was assigned to design the "divider" pages in our high school yearbook . To my delight, I was *encouraged* to do it anime-style ^_^ And so, I drew about 5 divider pages as well as all of the grade "header" pictures. These artworks were printed in over 1700+ yearbooks in 2003 ! My artwork was technically published for hundreds of people to own ^_^. It was one of my proudest artistic accomplishments! Many of my fellow students recognized me the following year. Some kids I never met before somehow recognized me as "the girl who drew the pictures in the yearbook". Even kids I met in other schools who had siblings in my school knew of my art. I was impressed with how my far my humble anime-style artwork reached out to the local community.

Unfortunately, I quit Yearbook the year after because the workload was too much for me. However, if I get along with the Yearbook staff members this year, I may negotiate drawing for them again .

As for this particular piece, it was the divider for the "Students" section of our yearbook, which featured a lot of miscellaneous shots. The art style I mainly employed was a mix of various animes, but the strongest reference was from the manga "Peach Girl". This manga had a very useful style, because the schoo uniforms in it were exactly like my school's uniforms ^_^.

Peace. Love. Anime.
