The peaceful image of a turtle shows a connection to the natural world, encouraging me to appreciate the beauty around me and find calm in everyday life.

I really enjoyed making this self portrait. It reflects the most dignified version of myself, and really speaks to the responsibilities a hold. I painted this piece with acrylic markers, and I spent a whole afternoon on it rather than doing my Homework…don’t worry I still got the homework done. :D what do you think? Worthy of a vote?

I did a collage out of magazines!

My name is Zoey I am 13 years old. I have been homeschooled my whole life and I love my warrior cats role playing class on Tuesday nights. Currently Warrior Cats is my favorite series I loved the Power of 3 and that’s what inspired me to create this picture

I am Amina, and I love sketching on my pad, and coloring on procreate. My inspiration for the piece was actually a homework assignment! I was asked to do a drawing of my own deity, god or goddess to present, and here it is! This girl you see here is Equality, the deity of balance. She is the one who keeps things equal between humans, plants and animals. This piece makes me feel proud.

My name is Sebi and I love penguins. I invented a world where there's a team of Ninja Penguins that save other animals and defeat evil bad guys. In this painting they're celebrating after saving all the other penguins that were captured by Evil Richard and put in a zoo. They're all free now and the Ninja Penguins are having tea! Ninja Kick KaPow!

I really like marvel, and my favorite character is spider-man! A well known friend of spider-man’s is Deadpool, so obliviously I had to draw them taking a break from hero work!

I just like robots, they make me happy.

I am 9 years old and I made this art as part of a school project to design shoes. My shoe is powered to protect and save from helping launch rockets, to running on water for easy escape - it can do it all. I hope someone can make this design into reality!

"I'm obsessed with drawing and I eat a lot of food. I'm obsessed with The Strongest Battlegrounds. My art makes me feel good. And I'm eight years old."

I designed the cover to look like the four elements - Fire, Earth, Water, Wind. In the middle, I subtly added a fifith element, Darkness. I really hope you like it, and my book should be coming out soon!

A lot of stuff inspires my art. The main focus is my robolx avatar. I also drew some of the YouTubers and Roblox characters i like. I also made Tails from Sonic, Kuromi, and Monchhichi. My art made me feel a mix of emotions like nerves and excited. \(>0<)/

My name is Maeva, I've been drawing realistic and cartoon since I was very young.

I’m obsessed with nature. Our family spends half the year doing van life around the country. Mostly visiting beautiful mountains and oceans. This special painting which is 6’ tall was inspired by my hikes through the forests of California. I did a whole series of paintings called “Nature”. The green and blue represent the sky and the orange is for the sunlight. I take art classes 2x week from Ms Jennifer on Outschool and I’m super inspired by the abstract artists I’m learning about in her class

inspired by my friend

Hi hi, I am creative, have above average smarts and like many forms of art. Including singing, water color painting, dancing, poetry and acting. One of my favorite form of art is drawing. I was inspired to draw Sarinitiy because she was a new challenge. I am very proud of her because she is very detailed and my best character yet. Sarinitiy is apart of small collection of original characters (OC), speaking of collections, I also collect rubber ducks, dolls & pepsi boxes which is random like me.

This is an acrylic painting of my dog, Rocket. He’s an Australian cattle dog. We adopted him in 2021 when he was eight and a half weeks old. He is kind of grumpy but I love him.

Hello! I am Arianna and I love art, video games, cartoons, and books. Pokémon was a big inspiration for my art style because my friends almost always ask me to draw their favorite little critters from the franchise for their birthdays. One day I randomly had the idea to turn my cat into a Pokémon. Thus, Mossious the grass and rock type was born.

My name is Evie. I’m homeschooled and I have been taking art class for 3 years with Ms. Z. I chose to draw penguins and title my piece Love In All Things, because God gave love to all creatures great and small. You can see that penguins love each other because they look after their chicks. It makes me feel good, because God loves penguins and so He must love us. It also reminds me of God’s beauty and grace.

Despite these challenges, Lenny has discovered a special way to express himself through art. This particular piece is of his beloved dog, his close companion and friend. Through this artwork, Lenny not only shares the joy and comfort his little dog brings him but also communicates a part of himself that words cannot fully express.

I made this because I lived in a city for 8 years and I loved it. The lights, the sounds, everything. It makes me feel at peace because I remember looking out the windows and hearing the honking of the horns, seeing the lights, and being up in a tall building being able to see everything below. And all of that, to me was very peaceful and calming.

Hello! My name is Adalynn! This piece is inspired by my love for animals. While drawing it, I initially struggled because my cat's ears were too tall and skinny. I had mistakenly drawn over the ears with colored pencil, which made it impossible to erase. I overcame this problem by using a sand eraser, which was the perfect tool for the job. It was a risk to attempt a realistic drawing, but I'm very happy with the result. Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you enjoy my artwork!

I love bearded dragons. I have 2 as pets. They are very social and excellent pets to have.

I have always loved art because I can be as creative as I want, so long as I don't care how it looks. I've always liked how the moon looks, and it inspired this piece. I decided I would go for a dark tone to highlight the moon. This is a magical forest scene, looking out from deep within. There are two hidden runes and lots of other mysteries if you look closely. I'll leave those for you to find. This piece makes me feel creative and like there's lots more to discover.

I love animation and wanted to create art that reflects something magical.

I was inspired that my state holds the country’s tallest straight drop waterfall

My name is Leah and I am a 17 year old artist. One of my biggest inspirations has always been my mom, she inspired me to draw and to start working as a graphic designer. Since my mom is an artist, I loved drawing from a young age, and I’m grateful to her for encouraging and helping me improve. My most treasured memories is when my mom read me Russian fairy-tales before bed, so I wanted to capture that moment in my drawing.

I created a self-portrait that shows me brandishing my drawing pen! I wanted to show that my inspiration comes from the act of creating. When I started sketching, the idea came to me really quickly, and that felt like part of the inspiration, too.

I was inspired by the way ancient civilizations used the night sky to know where they were going. I wanted to convey that in my drawing, but also how things might look messy and complicated until you look at the big picture, like the art style of Starry Night.

I like vehicles

I’m a digital artist, and I love to draw. The ability to create anything I imagine is what draws me to art, no matter how silly or weird it may be. I always look back at what I’ve created, feeling accomplished, motivated to continue with more. This artwork was inspired by my own feelings when I create, and how it allows me to make new, incredible worlds and characters with only the press of a pencil.

I have been using watercolor paints since the fall. What inspired me was that I love drawing and painting eyes. I had recently read a book about a cat, so I mixed the two together and came up with a cat eye painting. This piece makes me feel curious.

I made this picture because I love drawing happy places with bright colors. My family calls me their rainbow sunshine baby, and I like making cheerful worlds with my imagination.

I really love to paint sunsets so when I heard about this contest I knew I had to make a huge one! This painting shows a flock of birds flying south over a forest at sunset. When I look at this painting I can't help but wonder, are the birds flying towards something or are they flying away?

well i love cats and i love Christmas too so I decided to bring those two together and make kitty Christmas.

The small LEGO kid in the black jiu-jitsu uniform is me right now, still learning and working hard. The taller LEGO figure next to him is future me, who has reached all my goals and dreams. It’s like a picture of where I am and where I’m going, all built into one scene.

I love drawing, especially animals because I'm also an animal lover. Our main thing was a snail in art class, and I made him a suit. My favorite animal is a fox so I drew one. I made the fox's cheeks and the fox and snail were looking at each other and so I made a heart to show they were in love. This picture makes me feel happy, proud, and love.

Hi, my name is Malcolm and I am taking a few of the Outschool drawing classes.

I enjoy the game very much because it’s not too scary and I find the characters really fun to draw. I really enjoyed making this piece and I hope you enjoy it too.

I like to look at old houses and think about the people who have lived in them. It makes me sad to see old houses be demolished. It seems not many people care. I wish I could save all the old houses; thats why drew this old house in the yard it was meant to be in. I hope that you enjoy thinking about who lived in this house. for my drawing I used: acrylic paint, oil pastel, and colored pencil. It took me 4 weeks to complete-i made the house bent and uneven to make it look old but cozy.

The buildings are all different and colorful. I was inspired by New York City and how big everything looks when you look up. I wanted my city to look fun and bright, so I used many colors and shapes. This picture makes me feel happy and excited like I am in a big city.

My name is Evan, I'm 11. Eyes are interesting to draw, each one is different, even on the same person. I imagined what these eyes have seen while they watched the world and hope I caught something true in them.

I thought it would be really fun to try drawing a dragon eye. I'm very proud of it because I learned how to draw realistic eyes as well as improvise the shape because dragons don't exist in real life.

Hello, I'm Grace! This piece is inspired by (and is of) Splatoon, a game by Nintendo. The character pictured has fought their way up through an underground base, seeing the outside world for the first time after losing their memory from being in said base.

I wanted to test my skills and see if i could draw one of my favorite characters. I was very happy to see how it turned out.

This piece inspires me to go hiking and climbing big boulders and mountains while observing wildlife. I am super energetic with lots of enthusiasm, and I like to do rolls while dodging all of the trees and playing tag with my younger brother as we go on our weekly hikes.
