I love drawing, and my favorite mythical animals are dragons, and I feel confident about Drago.

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've had a passion for art from a young age, and I want to prove to myself how far I've come. I used the impasto technique to really bring the subject off the canvas. I wanted to create a sense of movement with the strokes of the paint fanning out from the wings and adding texture to the scales. I wanted this to feel like you could pluck it straight out of the canvas. I made shape of the flowers and the background more suggestive, blurry; trying to create a depth that pushes the moth forward.

Hello i am beth! And ever since i was little ive loved dragons! And ive put that love into this piece of art!

Hello! I'm Nora, and I love to draw. I have been drawing since I could hold a crayon and hope to be an artist some day! I love digital art and like drawing people, realism, hands, eyes, or just simple characters!

My piece makes me me feel like I want to remember those times because I was starting to forget about my past. The piece makes me feel a little sad because I wanted to remember my friends and Mexico, and it makes me happy because they were good memories.

I LOVE to paint. What inspired this art was how much I like making rainbows, hearts, and sunsets so why not put them together.

I love to draw and paint, and dance and play music, and read. I have always enjoy watching a pencil glide across a page as an image forms, taking shape and gathering emotion. Little lines ,some bold some soft, create the art we see, turning a blank paper or canvas into something beautiful. It is a truly incredible thing, the way we, as humans, see the world around us. Perspective is intriguing.

My bird class inspired my drawing. It makes me feel good. I love birds!

The picture is called Spring. It makes me feel calm and happy. I like how the sky looks soft and colorful at the end of the day. I am a child. I love drawing, especially with paints. I like playing with my cat and my friends.

This piece is inspired by my two characters, Cecil and Penelope who are dancing to one of the greatest pleasures in life, Music. Penelope is the goddess of the Sum and Justice. Cecil is the god of Wonderment

Hi my name is Everley and this is my self portrait. I painted it because I wanted to create something that inspires other people. Self portraits are special pieces to create and I want people to know how beautiful they are, even if they’re in a place they normally aren’t. My portrait takes place in the mountains, which is one of my favorite places to visit.

We follow the Hipbee explorers on YouTube and go gold panning every summer. They were the inspiration and I'm very happy about it.

I am a cat lover and I was inspired by the full moon that was pink this month. My piece makes me feel powerful because the pink moon gives me energy. In my drawing, the pink moon was giving the cat energy, just like me!

I like to draw. I draw in many different styles. I saw a new art style that was popular on YouTube, so I decided to see if I could do it. I feel some sadness when I look at her.

I got a large piece of Douglas Fir bark from my grandparents' wood pile. They live out in the country and have a lot of trees and flowers on their property. I love spending time out there, building forts and picking bouquets, and that inspired me to create "Meadow on Douglas Fir." When I look at it, I feel peaceful.

It inspires me to be courageous and THINK BIG!!!

I'm inspired by game art

Good day to you. My name is Adaire Renee and I've alway been fascinated with painting and literature. This painting is inspired by the book, "Bridge of Clay" written by Markus Zusak. Hence the name of the painting. The book is strongly recommended though there is some crude language. I hope you like them both.

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.

I like drawing dragons and playing video games. What inspired me to draw this was simply the urge to draw something. However, I am incredibly proud of the results and I hope you guys like it.

I’ve always loved cheetahs, so i decided this would be a perfect thing to draw and I’m very proud of how it turned out

My art was inspired by the wide open prairies of America. On my cross country road trip to South Dakota I found my love for Prairie sunsets. When I think of the Prairie, it makes me feel free like every hill and sunset holds a new beginning or fresh start. I chose to use Linda Stephen’s style of art to make my prairie sunset because I wanted to experiment with collages.

I like to draw animals and reptiles. My favorite reptile are snakes. I chose to draw a chameleon because it is a reptile and a unique one. Chameleons make me feel cool because of it’s ability to change colors and blend into its world.

This drawing was inspired by people who kept going even when it was hard

Hi, my name is Helen. I love drawing and painting because they make me feel happy. My artwork, “A Beautiful Morning at My School,” is inspired by a Minecraft theme. It shows the happy memories I have at school. It is a bright spring morning with the sun shining in a clear blue sky. School buses and cars are busy as they drop off children. The children are wearing their uniforms and look excited because they love coming to school to learn, play, and be with their friends.

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 drew stars, houses, trees, and a snowman to show that winter can be warm and joyful. Art makes me feel free. I like being creative, and this picture makes me feel peaceful and happy inside.

I love the beach and the different shades of the ocean as it goes deeper. When the fish jump in the water and the sun sets, it makes me feel happy.

I was inspired to make this piece using memories of watermelon popsicles that I used to eat as a kid while in the park alone. Whenever I draw I feel inspired my loneliness and sadness. In the corner is shown the popsicle stick being thrown out with the words "won". The Watermelon popsicles I used to eat often had a win or lose system as I cute gimmick, and it being thrown out shows how some people do not feel bothered by winning even in small amounts.

My name is Vika, and when I grow up, I want to be an artist. I believe art is a great hobby and profession, and it can make people very happy. I drew this penguin as a mascot that can inspire people to do art and be creative and imaginative. Her name is Aurora Boreartist. Art makes her life brighter, and it maker her brighter too, see, she is not just plain black like other penguins. And she wants to show that art make make everyone else's life brighter too.

Hi! I made a silly, sweet dog who rules his cozy home like a king. I love animals, so I gave him big eyes and floppy ears and built him a happy little world with books, plants, and a comfy bed. It makes me feel warm, playful, and proud—like I’m right there hanging out with him!

I learned how to draw this white charcoal piece, from my art teacher, Miss Lisa. When I was done, I didn't even recognize it was mine! I like cats. I also like to sing, read, draw, and write. I hope you like my piece! Signed, Alena.

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. The part that I struggle with the most was her hair because it was curled up and in the corner of the picture. This photo &the woman in it inspire me because she is a part of history, she grew up as a sher cropper &had to help in the fields picking cotton

I love painting, especially with watercolor. My family went on a trip to Japan, and I got to see the beautiful buildings and landscape of the place which inspired me, and I really liked Mount Fuji and the pagodas, both of which I decided to add to my picture. It feels peaceful to look at, since you feel like you are there with the lady in the pink flower kimono, watching her make ripples in the water.

Godzilla can do anything.

Yes, I got pooped on by a bald eagle. It was an experience. And, I have this picture in my room to always remind me of it. It reminds me of how good, or bad, luck I got. I think it's bad, personally, but many others think it's good. I don't know, very weird story.

My name is Krisha and I drew a Fennec Fox on the Procreate app. I think I did a good job!!!! I want people to feel calm when they look at this picture because of the warm colors and the fox’s relaxed position. I want people to imagine going on ian adventure with the fox! Also let me give you a quick fun fact: they can hear underground!!!

I love to be creative and crafty. What inspired me to draw Heeseung-Evan was because he was in a K-Pop group called Enhypen. He is now a solo singer with a stage name Evan. He was my favorite member of Enhypen for two years now.

Hi! I am Shashvini! As you can see I made a chick in some grass with flowers. What made me create this art is that I like chicks and I thought it would be a good choice for this art contest. This is what inspired me. Whenever I think of this art I always think of peaceful things, I think this art is a very calm art. A chick in grass on a peaceful sunny day. This is a little bit about my little chick in the grass. I hope you enjoy it! Thank you!

My mom wanted to see the northern lights but she wasn't able to see them. So I decided I would just paint them for her!

I love to be creative. It make me feel excited about summer time. It is based on a summertime favorite treat.

I just really like birds, we have lots and lots of birds all around our farm and exotic birds usually look so cool. And the flowers are around where that bird lives.

This piece was inspired by my love for the anime One Piece and my favorite drink Olipop. My art piece was made with acrylic paint markers.

I love digital art. I am getting more into semi-realism. I was inspired to draw this because I think it’s cool that women can be feminine but also strong.

Hi. My name is Evelyn. I have been making art since I could use my hands. This piece began as a prompt in one of my art classes but ended up being one of my most treasured works. To me, this piece portrays sadness and loneliness. I hope it makes you feel something as well.

I like vehicles

My name is David and I was inpires to make this piece because I saw many great artist do things like this so I decided to make one of my own.

Hello! I am a young artist who likes to draw digitally, traditionally, and I also create animations! This piece was for my godfather; showing all the fun times we had together in our little group of me, my brother, my friend, and my friend’s brother (the gang:).

I am an artist of both the martial and drawing kind. I especially love to draw animals, because they are both cute and fierce, like me! My inspiration flows like water. On my phoenix, I like how the tail looks like flowing water. It makes me feel very peaceful and calm when I look at it. It also looks fearless, which is why I named it "The Fearless Phoenix".

I like drawing animals and one of my favorites is a sloth. It makes me feel happy that my sloth looks cute and it shows my passion for animals.

Hello, my name is Laila. I never seen space and I want to see it one day. That’s why I made this art piece. I’d like to get into the rocket and fly to the space. My favorite planet is Saturn and the Earth. We live on the Earth and I love our home planet. Thank you.

I love drawing landscapes. Every time I look at the mountains, it's really beautiful.

I love drawing. It makes me happy when I imagine myself on the Art Magazine cover model.

For me to do my best, I need to be in the flow state which requires solitude and a sense of calm. My inspiration comes from the idea of having my own space above the world, where I can feel safe and secure. The airship is a place where I can recharge, think and just exist without pressure. From up there, the world seems more manageable, and I can see things more clearly. This sense of quiet and comfort inspires me and shapes my work.

This piece was inspired by real life experiences and Victorian art. The girl is painting a raven, which represents grief. There is a sunset outside and an old willow tree. Her room is messy, but she still draws. This is a piece on loss, and time moving on without you. I used my grief from past experiences as my inspiration to get better at art, so that maybe, I can somehow reach them again. I know I probably won't win the competition, but I wanted to show that 'inspiration' can be anything.

I love painting and I created this piece by not trying too hard. I used various materials and a lot of paint! The physical painting is almost like 3D style. Its hanging up in my living room and its A4 size. Most people think I used some artists knives but I did not! Its sponges and brushes.

Hello 👋 I am Finlay and I LOVE drawing dragons! This piece was inspired by my favourite book series 'Wings Of Fire' and it's this dragon's final moments of peace before venturing out to battle at dawn, wondering if it will be his last. It makes me realize how far I have come with my art and dragon drawings.

Pumpkin was a stray we found on a farm. He is the king of my bed.

My name is Maria and I'm 10 years old. I live in Spain but the platform doesn't let us put it in, so we put United Kingdom. I chose to draw these mermaids because... I don't know, maybe because mermaids look cool. I love drawing, especially fantasy so this was pretty nice to draw. Toodles!

My name is Emerson and I am 8 years old. I love to draw because I love seeing the final product of all the lines that you sketch. I was inspired by an anime character who overcame a difficult challenge and this was how he came out alive. It reminds me that I need to keep going through all obstacles even when tired or beat.

Something about me is that I like to play sports and I like math challenges. I drew this because it was sort of like the movie Inside Out with all the emotions people feel everyday. It makes me feel good because I worked hard on it and it is like a rainbow of emotions.

When visiting Washington, DC, I took a photo similar to this perspective. I found it to be an interesting line of sight, framed by trees and ending at the Capitol Building. When coming up with a piece for the contest, I thought of the photo I took. Using it as a reference, I sketched out the drawing before finishing with watercolors and colored pencil. Seeing the city and all the details the make it up is inspiring, as it reminds the viewer that there is more to a city than just the landmarks.

I have enjoyed drawing since I was young. I became serious about art approximately three years ago. Drawing is my happy place, it is my passion. The Doise is a character from a game called Pizza Tower. He is funny, chaotic, and theatrical in a comical way. My goal is to attend art school after I graduate from high school.

I love One Piece so I wanted to do a character from that franchise, and so chose this art piece because he’s my favorite character. I feel like this drawing shows his power, possibly aura, of his personality. Confident, cool, so on so forth.

My name is Mali, and I was inspired by a picture in my room. I have an amazing teacher who helped me with the foundation of this piece.

This is my current DnD character, shes a kitsune and a rogue with the pirate background, and shes inspired by Foxy from Five nights at Freddy's

This piece was inspired by the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades. It depicts a young Persephone, before she meets the king of the underworld. This is one of my favorite Greek myths, and I even wrote a song about it! I think this is one of my best pieces yet, and hope you like it!

This piece inspires me to wonder if somewhere out there, there is a being who sees this image in front of them and also wonders about life beyond their world.

I love the original and retro style animations. I wanted to create my favourite character in that style.

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. Making this art made me feel calm and relaxed. I hope my picture makes people feel like they are taking a nice, quiet walk in the woods.

My piece was inspired by Dr. Seuss "The Lorax" and by the plaque that the Apollo 11 astronauts left on the Moon, declaring that they had come in peace for all mankind. Both inspired the main idea of the piece: everyone and everything is dependent upon everyone and everything else, and together we can do almost anything. Apollo 11 also gave my piece it's theme: space! I feel like I did a good job, especially on the Moon, and that my piece conveys what it's meant to convey.

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?

Hi, I'm Matthew. I like gaming, art, music, collecting things, and metal detecting. I made this piece because I was going through an odd period where my dreams were extremely vivid and colorful, but at the end would become almost distant and would fade to white before ending, almost is if they were trying to tell me, "This isn't real" before fading away. This piece reminds me of those times and makes me feel oddly satisfied and wildly confused with this strange period of bizarre dreams.

I like art and animals. My artwork was inspired by watching minions and the love of art. This piece of artwork makes me feel more confident in my abilities.

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.

Hi! My name is Wesson, and I am just 8 years old! I love cats, and my cat Bowser is why I sketched this cartoon drawing of him with a mouse toy. He is a big fluff-ball, and it is fun to watch him play. I feel happy and loved by my cat, and I wanted to share him with you.

Hello, I’m Hayden! I love to read, play sports, write, draw dragons, etc. I’ve been doing art class with Ms. April Taylor for a year, and before that, I have been taking other Outschool art classes. If I’m being honest, the inspiration for my painting came from a watercolor class with Ms. April Taylor. It made me feel extremely happy because of the outcome, since water color isn’t my strong suit. I owe my teacher a huge, clap clap clap and thanks! Thank you so much for your time! -Hayden

I was inspired to watercolor this palm tree from my time at Florida, it absolutely shocked me how beautiful it was.

I really like to compose music, which is one of the things that inspired me for this piece. I tried to emulate pixel art, which is also something I used to do quite frequently. I actually like how this one turned out, so I thought I should submit it.

I'm Ashley and I love toilet bound Hanako Kun when I first watched the anime. Later my mom got me manga and I got attached to the storyline. The artwork and the title is from the anime "The near and far shore" I got inspired by the name so I decided to make an art piece about it. The 2 characters "Hanako and Nene" are in my art piece. The near and far shore mean the world for living and the other shore for supernaturals/ghosts. I spent 3 hours and 34 minutes on this drawing.

Hello, im Bailey and im an artist of many mediums, digital and traditional. This is a peice inspired by the first campground we hosted at, in central oregon. During our time in said campground, my parents and i watched smoke jumpers practice in the hills behind our site..it was always something we liked, and so i decided that i would draw it! This peice represents the bond i have with my family because of all the times we shared, watching the jumpers.

This is a fiber arts piece I made using fabric I inherited from my Great Grandmother after she passed away. I am inspired by my Great Grandmother's legacy as an artist to create works, try new things, and make mistakes. I chose to make a sunrise since it symbolizes new beginnings and the ability to try again. The sunrise reminds me that even if I mess up, there will be another day, another chance to improve, practice, and make something beautiful!

Hi, I’m Autumn! My favorite type of art is sketching. My trip to Scotland and seeing the bagpipes inspired my piece. It makes me feel excited when I look at it!

this art work makes me feel sad for the bird🐦‍⬛ on the left, let me explain. the bird on the left is using a jet pack, not its wings it is sad because now it has no perpous for its wings. while the bird on the right is using its wings soring freely and not a jet pack. the bird on left is using a jet pack because engineers went to far and now it can't fly without a jet pack the end.

My name is Charli and I like to draw. I love the Lion King and baby Simba is so cute. I also love to sing. This drawing makes me feel happy because this movie holds a special place in my heart.

I really enjoy every aspect of Japanese art and design, from anime to games. It is a dream of mine to become a professional trading card artist when I grow up. This piece reflects that. It is an illustration of one of my original characters, Noodle Dragon, above miso lake, where I imagine he would live.

knights are super cool and i love how the armor looks

I love to draw and I love animals. Whenever I have free time, I love to be creative. I’m learning so much in my art classes on Outschool and challenging myself with new skills as much as possible.

This piece was inspired by a nature walk that I took with my family. I used real sticks, tree bark, and leaves that I found in the woods to show how beautiful the forest is. I also showed a lot of animals because I love seeing them in the woods--except the bear! Looking at my art reminds me how peaceful and quiet I feel in the forest. I want to be a conservationist when I grow up so I can help all kids enjoy nature.

Dave is a character I created because I challenged myself to create a character with a twist. I like dragons so that is why I chose one. I’m proud of this drawing because it turned out well and makes me laugh.

I love to draw and I love sports. Volleyball is entertaining and I watched a movie about it.

I love drawing turtles because they are so interesting. This is a fun angle of a cool species.

I was inspired by the freezing winter nights. It gets cold here but somehow also feels warm, peaceful and a little magical.

I drew a JJ Maybank, a character from my favorite tv show, Outer Banks! This is my first graphite drawing, and the first person I've ever drawn! I learned a lot by drawing this and I really enjoyed doing it!

I have enjoyed drawing, especially Anime, for many years. I have been working on transitioning my sketches to digital art. I like this character because of the crossover between human and kitty, and the overall happy vibe.

This painting became something I didn't plan. It started as a detailed raven inspired by Death Cab for Cutie, but the more layers I added, the more it became its own thing. The layering reminded me of memory, how you can't pull something back cleanly. It's just there at the edge of what you can see. When I look at it now, I feel something peaceful and uneasy at the same time. Sometimes what something leaves behind tells you more than the thing itself ever could. That's what this is about for me.

My name is adelynn and I love dragons,drawing, hamsters, and my family. What inspired my piece is Wings of fire. I love this series of books. It makes me feel proud and happy.

My name is Korra. I like drawing and wanted to try an anime portrait mixed with some realism.
