Physical education
Student life isn’t just about academics—sports are really important too, right? There are probably lots of kids who don’t like studying but love sports.
For kids who are good at sports, PE classes are especially memorable.
Vaulting boxes, horizontal bars, gym sticks, and gym uniforms—these are all essential for PE class.
If you draw these items in a graduation message board or class anthology, it will convey great memories of PE.
Even kids who aren’t good at drawing can do this easily, so it’s recommended.
Adding a touch of color instantly makes it look more realistic.
Give a wonderful gift to your cherished friends.

A graduation ceremony is a milestone in life, isn’t it? Looking back, there were so many things and it was tough, but each moment was irreplaceable.
What you can’t do without for those memories are graduation yearbooks and message boards! For those who want to make something that feels extra special, Scandinavian-style floral patterns are a great choice.
They’re simple and easy to draw, and they really elevate the style.
Scandinavian florals are popular because their designs feel warm and inviting.
The patterns we’re introducing this time are all easy yet look high-end.
Let’s create a memorable graduation message board!

Once you become a working adult, the chances of a thousand or five hundred people all wearing the same clothes decrease, don’t they? School uniforms by themselves become fond memories.
So how about drawing illustrations of students in uniforms? If you draw simple student uniforms or your own school’s uniform, it’ll be 100% nostalgic.
When drawing boys, style their hair as if it’s set; for girls, try a bun or a ponytail to give a dressed-up feel.
And don’t forget a touch of cherry blossoms or a graduation certificate as a small accent!
Collection of frame ideas for shikishi (decorative square paper)
When you’re writing in a graduation anthology or a group message on a card, sometimes just text can feel a bit plain, right? You want your message to stand out a little and be a cute, memorable keepsake.
How about drawing a frame and writing your message inside it? I think it would be lovely to quickly sketch something like a diploma or a chalkboard and put your message inside! Other ideas include stationery-style letter paper, animal paw prints, a TV, a smartphone, and so on—everyone’s sure to notice a cute frame.
It also looks cleaner if you draw the frame illustration with thin lines.
