If Drawing Toy Story Characters
In order for Lifetouch to sell and print copies of the selected yearbook cover images, all images of Toy Story characters on your drawing must be free drawn and not traced.
Helpful Tips:
- Block letters are best
- No color, only use a black thin tip marker or felt tip pen
- Spell check ALL your words
- Use all of the space provided
- The most successful covers have some negative space
- Avoid eraser marks
- Draw big, zoom in
- Be creative
- Be original (don't copy something someone did in past years)
- Students can collaborate (with up to 2 people)
- Students may submit up to 4 designs
- Students who make it to the final round will be asked to recreate their drawing on special paper with possible minor edits
- Once the black and white cover is selected, Mr. Deris will work with the student to pick out colors for the cover that will be digitally colored by Lifetouch.
