CRUSH is almost here-and we’re hosting a special contest to celebrate its release! We’re asking contestants to draw themselves into the Berrybrook Middle School universe for a chance to win a signed copy of CRUSH.
The Instructions:
• Use the Berrybrook Middle School style sheet in this post as a reference to draw your character. We have a whole variety of characters to base your look off of!
• Draw how you think you’d look if you were in the Berrybrook Middle School books. Get creative! Use pencil, pen, paint-just make sure you have parental supervision, if you’re under the age of 13.
• By November 12, post your drawing on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and tag @jyforkids or email us at jyforkidspublicity@yenpress.com so we see your submission.
• We’ll announce the lucky winner by Nov. 16!
