Macoto Takahashi
Anybody who wants to be an expert in classic/retro shoujo should know about Macoto/Makoto Takahashi. Famous for his shoujo-ga (young, apple cheeked and sparkly-eyed girls illustrations) work, Makoto debuted in the late 1950s. Over the years, his artwork has appeared in magazines, stationary, and numerous other merchandise. I absolutely adore his art, as it captures early shoujo perfectly.

I like this art, it's really cute and represents the era well. Once I saw an old school shoujo manga and the character basically had galaxies in her eyes XD
