My artwork, Carmel Pups by the Sea, was inspired by the puppies I saw on Carmel Beach during Spring Break two years ago. I wanted to capture how cute and playful they looked together, and this painting makes me feel calm and relaxed because it reminds me of a special day by the ocean.

Seeing a astonishing blue morpho butterfly inspired me, it makes me feel confident because with all the struggles we face, we can always spread our wings and fly.

Art can be so different and have so many meanings, but this piece inspires me because it shows that even the smallest, quiet things have strength and resilience. It reminds me that I am strong even when I’m quiet. By facing obstacles with heart and hard work, I’ll find my way through the overwhelming moments. Above all, it shows I can grow with quiet strength and steady hope, as long as I keep trying and have the confidence to do so.

The forest is a very peaceful place, and that is why I wanted to draw it. I was inspired by the way the sun shines through the leaves and the quiet sounds of the birds.

I have always been inspired by nature and the seasons changing. Fall is my favorite season, and that's what inspired this drawing.

They represent the kinship I found with my new friends, and the individuality that I learned to express for myself!

This art makes me feel proud. I like the face, tail, and mane. The hippocampus reminds me of a king so I drew a pearl castle.

I love to make different art work. I have dyslexia, and art helps me express myself or my thoughts with no words. I painted this because teachers forget that even though I struggle with my writing, I do know how to express myself. People who are different feel lost in the shadows. My artwork makes me feel happy because I know that in the end I am bright. That is why I draw my star, and my face.

Hello I am Penelope. This is a graphite pencil drawing of my great great grandma Louis. I used tan paper to replicate the old photograph of her.

This is a character from Forsaken, a roblox game, and he is my favorite character. I drew him because he has a very easy and simple design! What inspired me was my brother, because he really likes that game and made a drawing of all the characters for our art class, so I thought I'd make one as well of just one character.

I am RiAnn .I enjoy sketching , reading books and math . I visited a farm that inspired me to sketch this artwork .

I love all the colors of the rainbow and take every opportunity to use lots of them. Originally, I wanted to create a different picture using acrylic on canvas, but it did not turn out the way I dreamed of. After a bit of trial and error, patience, and determination, I created A Fish Out of Water with liquid paint, straws and brushes. Creating this picture taught me not to give up on an idea and not to be afraid of adjusting my plans. This painting makes me feel happy and proud.

Art is my escape and a way to capture the stories I see in people.

This art piece was inspired by one of my favorite stuffed animals, Peanut Butter. My family went to a cow farm where we got to feed adorable highland cows.

I like horses because they are cool and strong. I drew a horse’s head for the Year of the Horse and used my imagination to make it special. I felt very happy while making this artwork. I hope people smile when they see my horse.

This was fun to draw because it combines two different elements of under water life into one magical creation.

My name is Lani. I did this piece for Chinese homework, and this artwork made me feel calm.

I created this piece to show the feeling that even when no one is around, something is still watching. I used a single eye to represent awareness and presence in silence.

I was inspired to draw this colorful abstract cat because I am obsessed with cats. the colors in the back are like me because i am hyper and colorful.

My piece describes the changes in my life. The time on the clock, 8:20 is around the time that I was born, an important key detail in my life. Some other changes in my life were moving houses, changing schools, and learning to love swim. The wide variety of colors I used in my artwork, they are all different, even in the slightest bit. This represents how everyone is different, and you can be your own self. No one don't need to feel ashamed, because everyone is unique in their own way.

My piece is a hand-illustrated Macbeth spellbook inspired by Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Created on Procreate and developed into an animation, it reimagines the play from the perspective of the Weird Sisters. I began using Procreate during COVID-19, shaping my digital style and technique. Each page reflects Macbeth’s shift from honor to moral decline, using symbolism such as blood and animal imagery to show his loss of humanity and the lasting consequences of ambition.

I am Olivia and I can finally draw a human body with porportions. My teacher has been so inspiring and has made me so confident in my art. This piece makes me feel like I am at a Paris fashion show in the front row. It makes me feel so happy, all the way to my soul that I created that. Thank you for this class!

I enjoyed creating The Man in the Turban. This beautiful person of color has so much emotion in his eyes. I wanted to capture it! Experimenting with texture in the jewelry, wrinkles, and turban challenged me, in a fun way! They required time and concentration to get just right. I’m enjoying using new tools like high-quality “artist” pencils. And finally, my Outschool teacher, Ms. Kristy, makes drawing super amazing and fun.

The piece is a character sheet of my OC (original character) Taylor, i'm very proud of my art work, and very happy with how far i've come. i've always dreamed of being an artist and making my own anime. but i was never skilled enough. but now I see my dreams coming true every day. i truly hope I win

I love all types of art! This piece was inspired by comic book art and pop art. The colors really make me smile and I hope they have the same effect for my audience.

I love drawing animals, especially animals in the wild. I drew a lion cub who is curious and loves learning and exploring, just like me. When I was drawing, I tried to show its soft fur and curious face. It makes me feel happy to imagine it going on adventures and discovering new things. I hope people see how playful and brave the cub is.

I have been a natural artist since I was little. My art styles are mainly realism and anime. This art piece, “Aileen”, was inspired from some of the work of a professional anime artist and is my newest original character. In this piece, I tried to include some defining details of her personality and her own style choices. She sports a playful expression, sailor outfit and bangs. She may inspire me to draw anime more often in the future as I feel she showcases my artistic capability.

Well I really like Donuts! I thought this would be very funny, and creative. Who doesn't want the last Donut?!

I love animals, especially my lamb Daisy. Spending time with her has helped me notice how playful and full of personality lambs can be. Watching Daisy run, jump, and explore inspired me to imagine a story where she could jump right out of a book and into the real world. Creating this piece made me feel happy and proud. It reminds me of the joy I feel when I spend time with Daisy. I hope people who see my artwork feel the same sense of fun, imagination, and love for animals that inspired me.

Springtime makes me happy. The bunny is happy because the sun makes his fur feel like a warm blanket.

I take drawing classes on Outschool and I like to draw every day. I really like drawing characters and working on shading. In this drawing, I tried to make the face expressive and added details like the eyes, hair, and hand. I was inspired by characters I like and added my own details. It feels calm and a little mysterious, like she is thinking something but not saying it.

Hello! My name is Gabby, and this piece is inspired off my two favorite cookies, Pure Vanilla Cookie and Shadow Milk Cookie, in the popular game: Cookie Run Kingdom!

I love painting sunsets and was inspired by all our trips to different beaches. It makes me feel happy and always ready to be at the beach.

My name is Izzy. I have two pet bunnies. I like to play outside and ride my bike. I drew my picture for my Outschool animal drawing class. I chose a clown fish because i thought it would be interesting to do its patterns. Also, I know they have bright colors and I wanted to see what it looked like with shading instead of colors. I feel happy and accomplished with how my drawing came out!

I get really sleepy in math class. To keep myself awake, I often doodle. I started to draw snakes because it just felt natural. After school, I look up some snake pictures - and then, I start drawing. Drawing these snakes is a lot harder than it looks! And then - BOOM! - I drew this snake.

I love to tell stories. I wanted to tell a story of my own in my picture and so I did. My picture is a story about a little mermaid, unicorn, and flying cat. They all are different and all have their own story but all of their stories are a story of my own.

I take a lot of insporation from the things I watch and write. This drawing is of one of my characters from a writing group I'm in. The character is a chaotic menace, who is bored all the time.

My robot has chicken feet, two robot heads, four arms, and is exploding. I like to draw fun characters.
