Well, if you didn't know, I've been working as an English teacher for a Japanese middle school for the past two months. While doing this, I've basically tried to take advantage of any conceivable opportunity to using my drawing skills.
So, in this case, I was asked to make some cards that would make it easier to divide the kids into random groups. So, I made this cards which I dub 熊カルタ (Kuma Karuta or Bear Cards). There are six of them so that when passed out, they will create six groups based on the card that each child receives. As an extra, each card has a theme or vocabulary word associated with it.
They were painted with watercolor and were very fun to create.
Btw, these are my images...please don't use them without my permission...just have to get that out there.

Bad Bear- A Yankee, or the Japanese version of a punk student. This was my vice principal's favorite.
Bed Bear or Sleepy Bear- This was the favorite of the teacher who asked me to create these.
