This art piece was made by me and these are my own characters Mark and Roxy! What inspired me is a anime with two characters in this pose! Mark is the golden colored dog and Roxy is the Brown sheep. I hope you enjoy my art piece:3

I'm Kyla, an artist who loves creating characters and diving deep into their stories. The character featured here is one that I love very much, named Lieke. I wanted this drawing to evoke a feeling you have when you're on vacation, strolling the beach at sunset. It may feel melancholy; the setting sun bringing you ever closer to the end of fun times, but it's a beautiful sight that brings you joy nevertheless.

I'm Dan from Massachusetts and I made this piece to show what my environment for creativity looks like. I sit at my desk and look outside from my window and think of things to make(painting, drawing, or digital artwork like this). I thought this would be the perfect way to show what creativity can look like.

I love nature and wanted to inspire other people to love nature too because I also love being outdoors. I wanted to do art about it.

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.

The main inspiration behind this was mother nature. I made this in my art class with paper, markers and a little imagination. This art piece is like nature. Her beauty is like a mushroom, she is bound to die, but she will always survive in the darkest of times. Nature is all around us. It's stunning and is like no other. I hope you will look at a mushroom and see how amazing, delightful and misunderstood it is! And remember, even in the darkest night, you can find the light.

Hello!! My name is Elyssa, and I’ve been drawing before I can remember, but started getting more into art at about 9 years old. I love both led sketching and drawing with colored pencils, so I figured I’d combine the two! This drawing is a recreation of a drawing that I made a few years back. I love animals, and I really hope this drawing inspires people to take care of and protect the environment, as well as the creatures being affected by litter and deforestation every day. Thank you! :D

So about myself, I always love musical pieces, playing instruments, and art. However, considering the fact that I don't even play the Guitar, I just thought that the instrument is a vibrant way of expressing my thought, and when I did this piece of art, I made sure to include a bit of colorful explosion. It gives me great joy when I finished my art .

I really like birds that inspired my art! It makes me feel happy, because I like the color pink!

Art is a very calming thing for me. Whenever I am feeling stressed or anxious, I sit down and do some sketching. Recently, whenever I'm sitting on my own, I start thinking about the lighting in the room and how the light from the window reaches everything and makes all of it feel so beautiful. I find myself really wanting to make a painting of it.

My name is Paul. I drew this for my teacher because we both love cats. Cats inspire me with their unique mix of strength and calm. They are agile, balanced, and aware, yet also know how to rest. Their senses are very sharp, allowing them to notice things that people might miss. At the same time, cats are excellent at staying calm under pressure. Their independence and confidence remind me to trust myself. This drawing makes me feel strong and encourages me to pursue my goals with focus.

The fish were a great joy for the piece and the curves of water I thought added a great look. I did the background in acrylic paint and the fish in Sharpie, some I DID NOT SHARPIE. I like any type of art as long I'm DOING ART and HAVING FUN! Because ART IS NOT ART IF YOU ARE NOT HAVING FUN.

This artwork was inspired by my love of bright colors, which reminds of my personality, and, birds! I enjoy creating digital art because it allows me to experiment with blending colors and trying new techniques. I used what I learned from practicing digital painting to create a cheerful bird with a colorful, imaginative background. Art makes me happy because I can turn ideas in my mind into something beautiful to share with others.

I have been an ongoing Outschool student for 5 years and been improving my animations ever since. What inspired me to make this animation was my love for music, as that is what got me into animation in the first place. I am really proud of how this animation turned out, since it took a whole month to complete all on my own.

I do gymnastics and love challenging myself to try new things, so she is a very inspiring person! I feel very proud when I look at this piece of art!

My Science class inspired my piece because we learned about gravity. It makes me feel like we're safe because gravity is holding us.

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.

I found two trees at a place, one was in full bloom and it looked really pretty while, the other was completely dead looking. I was then inspired to draw two trees with one that is full of life, and the other dark. I thought the light bulbs in the back looked pretty, because the place I was at, had a string of light bulbs behind the trees.

I started not knowing what to draw and the shape turned into a ghost shape. The ghost is crying while a Ghostbusters vacuum is trying to suck it up. It's a sad picture but I had fun deciding what to make it. I love ghosty and hope the Ghostbusters don't get him.

Hi! I am James, and I like to express myself through art. I drew this specific piece a few years back for a project at my school. It is supposed to be an artistic self-representation, filled with patterns and objects that I like or that are important to me. Once the outline was completed, I separated the head into sections (some are special shapes). Then I slowly and carefully filled the entire large page with my artwork, using a pen to draw over it all again a second time! I'm proud of my work.

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 love animals, I also think it was a cute project to do.it makes me feel happy because this is my best drawing ever.

I’m Eleanor, and I love to create digital art. I’ve been doing it for several years. This piece was inspired by a project I did in Bear’s class. It makes me feel confident and warm inside.

I created this artwork to reflect how idols serve as role models we can aspire to become. I look up to many influential figures who strive to improve the world.

Hi, I'm Bay and ever since I was little, I've loved drawing my favorite characters and making up my own, giving them past and motivation. I've also always loved role-playing (and later, DND). I could take a break from the real world and go on an epic quest. Then I got Minecraft. The fact that you could create your own world and style of playing was so inspiring. So I took those three interests and challenged myself to draw my Minecraft character, and I was happily surprised by the result!!

My name is Ulan and I am 9 years old. I love to create original art pieces. I was inspired by using different materials to create something beautiful. It makes me feel creative.

My piece is a symbol of creativity and perfection in my mind. Art Makes Life and Life Makes Art, that's what this is all about. My inspiration for this art is my life and that is why it's called Life Makes Art! From, AP

I like to draw both on the computer and on paper. I also like swimming and doing karate. The picture I drew was inspired by my favorite anime, and it shows a character I created. My drawing makes me feel calm.

I wanted to do this drawing because I really like going to the beach and I think sunsets are really beautiful and I think I wanted to try to do and see how mine would look so I can make my own sunset in a drawing.

I'm Helen Horne. I drew this because she is one of my favorite characters in a game called Cookie Run Kingdom. She was once a virtue called Sugar of Happiness but she turned evil along with her other beast friends and refuses to let anyone leave her Heart of Paradise. Drawing this made me feel artistic!

I am a kind and creative person, and drawing is one of my favorite things to do. My art is inspired by colors and blooming flowers. When I draw, I feel like colors spread everywhere, like flowers blooming in spring. Creating art makes me feel joyful and happy.

My name is Iyla and I love to look at the sky. Daytime and nighttime are both so beautiful and this shows both. I feel like smiling when I look at my piece.

I like to dance and dance inspires me, so I painted a dancer on the sun. It makes me feel happy.

Otis (my cat) is a beloved animal in are family and might I say spoiled. yet hear I am making a portrait of him. my inspiration came from his beautiful blends of color on his face. This piece makes me feel good about the dedication it took.

This painting represents the love I have for animals. And yes, I’m the kind of kid who watches a bird feeder for hours. When I spot a small sparrow, I don’t view him as an annoyance; I see him as a creature who has friends, a life, and a personality. This mountain lion’s gaze shows the trauma he’s experienced, the loss he has endured, and life he has known. It inspires me to know that even when life is tough, there is always a way out.

I have been drawing since I was 2 years old, and people have always been my favorite subject. This is my first realistic self-portrait by pencil. I've taken an anime drawing class and realistic drawing class on Outschool for a few years, but the way to draw realistic face is different from anime style. I enjoy both. It took me 3 hours to draw this. It was hard to get the details right, but I love how I look in it.

My name is Emma Im 12 years old and I love drawing with charcoal pencils. I drew this piece because I love how while the heart is beating, flowers come out. it is beating creation. It makes me feel happy cause I love flowers.

Anime has really inspired me, and it always makes me happy seeing other people art and styles. I go on Pinterest to see people's wonderful art or read manga to get inspired but something has really been bugging me this past week. I've been feeling kind of bored with my art, so I started a new anime, Jojo's bizarre adventure to be exact! I really feel in love with the art style, so I decided to draw my favorite character. This piece took around 20 hours over the span of a week.

I am a very good artist. 🧑‍🎨 This masterpiece was inspired by someone who has ferrets.

Hello everyone, My name is Debasmita and I am a creative teenager who enjoys drawing, piano, and public speaking. I have drawn the famous “Hogwarts Castle” from the Harry Potter franchise. I have loved Harry Potter since I was very young, and even now I feel that Hogwarts, although fictional, is a place I belong. The plot and characters demonstrate themes of perseverance, growth, and determination. I felt inspired by this beautiful story and wanted my art piece to mirror these ideas. Thank you!

This piece makes me feel happy and proud of myself. I have been working on improving my art, and this piece shows the hard work I have put into art. I was inspired to make this piece, because I love wildlife and wanted an animal that would show my hard work and perseverance to improve my art.

Hello, my name is Aiden. My inspiration is about positivity overcoming negativity. My story lead to tough times in my life, and leading to negativity consuming me. I was drowning in it. I needed help, and I did get help. I was able to be free from the chains that held me tight. It may leave you with a scar, but what shapes you into what you are now, and I have some. I thank God for being there for me, and everyone else. Hear my message: positivity will defeat negativity, let it shine in you.

I drew it in class with Karina. I feel proud that I was able to do this myself.

I wanna give the money to the homeless kids that have no money

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.

I like the beautiful sunset in my picture. I think the frog looks peaceful and it makes me feel peaceful too!

I love to do art and I love playing outside, especially around flowers. What inspired this piece is how butterflies’ wings shimmer in the sunlight, which is why I wanted to create this. It makes me feel really excited, and when I’m feeling down, it helps me feel happy. The purple flowers have bowtie leaves because I was feeling silly, fun, and happy when I made it.

My name is Charlotte and I love drawing animals. This drawing makes me feel good and I am proud of it. What inspires me is mostly nature and animals like big trees, cute foxes, and sometimes my pets. Another thing that inspires me is books! I LOVE reading and they really help give me ideas for drawings. One more thing that inspires me is other drawings and paintings.

Hi, I'm Jackson and I love everything jets. The F-35A inspired me to draw this because it is my favorite jet and I think it's absolutely beautiful. When I saw the F-35A at an airshow. I was so excited that I almost started crying. I love the F-35A so much because it's just beautiful from all angles no matter what.

My art was inspired by my class.

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.

Hi! I’m Benson. I enjoy making flip books. This is one of the first pieces I made featuring a running man.

My name is Shae. I love foxes and the stars, so I figured, why not combine them?

Howdy! I created my Barnside Blooms piece with air dry clay and old wood from a barn. Making this made me excited because I took some of my favorite flowers I see by my cow barn and sculpted them to last a lifetime. I was inspired by spring time and wanting to have flowers that are vibrant year round.

After a fire ripped through my community and burned my home, I discovered Mary Cassatt. Mary was not only an inspiring woman, she was also a woman who allowed people to have "modern wings." She inspired others to soar above expectations and young girls to take hold of their futures. In her murals, Mary depicted women defying boundaries set for them and this brought me a sense of belonging. In a world of hurt and hatred, community can be defined by women, for women, and with women at the center.

This piece reminds me of my first art class on Outschool. I could never get into art, I tried but was always frustrated and unsatisfied with the outcome. I found a digital art class on Outschool and was immediately impressed with the teacher. He made digital art not only engaging but achievable to someone like me. In my first class he showed me his planet art, much like this one. It was amazing, and I was doubtful I could achieve this level. So this piece is special to me and how far I've come.

I love to be creative. I love to draw. If I could draw and watercolor I would! its my life :) I enjoy my weekly Watercolor class.

I recently watched and listened to the book, Heidi. I was inspired by Heidi's free spirit and life in the mountains. The piece makes me feel calm and free.

My name is Gavin, and I made this painting because I love my dog, Mickey. He is the one who inspired this piece, and I painted this right in front of him! It makes me feel happy to see it every day and think of the dog I love.

I was inspired by my love of foxes. I saw a picture of a painting of a fox at a museum and it inspired me to try drawing one myself. This painting makes me feel calm

Drawing can capture every element, emotion, and feeling that cannot be expressed by words. This piece was inspired by space, which I find both mysterious and exciting. This painting gives me the excitement of exploring new worlds, and I like to think about what exists beyond Earth. It makes me ecstatic and hopeful, and the dreams that begin in our imagination can truly become our future. Do you ever wonder about what exists apart from what our very own eyes can see?

Hi. I’m Elena. My inspiration for my drawing was my pet fish Oscar. I drew a fish because Oscar makes me feel happy inside when I look at him. He is quite beautiful and it is satisfying to watch him swimming around in his fish bowl.

My name is Freya and I created the Snow Fox. I used acrylics on canvas. I wanted to capture my love for animals and winter. I used a cool tone color pallette. The tail was tricky, I learned a lot about how to get the shape just right. I also like drawing flowers and dogs. I enjoy swimming, gymnastics, Scratch and love art.

Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams!

I'm Ella-Gayle. I love to read, and I especially enjoy drawing. I have been drawing my whole life. I do digital art as well. My favorite Outschool classes are 'Draw Every Day' with Mr. Dustin and 'Procreate Studio' with Ms. Uli. I call this drawing "Meg", and it was inspired by Disney Princesses. It makes me feel like I am a Disney Character Designer. When I grow up, I want to be a famous artist.

What inspired my piece is my older sister. We are writing a manga together and the character in my piece is her OC Zayden.

My names Tallulah. I am a 13 year old artist. This art is a year or two old, but it definitely is my favorite piece of mine. Photorealism and hyperrealism have always been my favorite art styles. I always admire artists that can draw realistically, so the fact I was able to draw something as realistic as this always cheers me up:]

This is a drawing about drawing, because drawing is what inspires me!

~ Sun and Moon, sisters in soul, pass each other in a fleeting moment of wonder; dancing in starlight. ~ Hello, thank you for reading this and viewing my art! My name is Madeline and I've always loved making art, but I didn't start digital art until 2020 during the pandemic. Since then I have enjoyed following my art journey wherever it has led me. The inspiration for this piece came from eclipses as the concept has always fascinated me, and I recently viewed one from my backyard.

Hi, my name is Tozer. I like building with Lego, reading (especially Wings of Fire and Harry Potter). I also taking walks in nature as well as drawing and painting. I also play the piano. I was inspired by a stormy night on the ocean. It makes me feel very intrigued. I think it has a mysterious air to it, especially the empty red boat that stands out against the rest of the painting.

I love trying new painting techniques and was just experimenting with this. It makes me happy that it turned out so cool.

Hi my name is Emily and this is my art piece, it’s called “My future” and this specific art also really inspires me because in the photo you can see she is sitting down on the ground and looking up at the moon and I do that a lot and if that was me I would be trying to listen to my older self or in fact to My future, but In this it’s like I’m obsessed with my future and I’m trying to get to know her better then I know myself right now.

I love cats because they are so bossy and royal.

My name is Mariko, and I love to draw, both physical and digital. I also love music, and I was inspired by this Kpop idol, Wonyoung.

I'm in 2nd grade and I love pandas. I created this watercolor painting in an Outschool art class. It makes me feel happy and creative. When I made it I wanted to visit Niagara Falls.

My name is Malcolm. I want to be an animator and am inspired by cartoons. I love early 2000's cartoons. I like 2D animation better and love drawing them. I am creating my own animation studio and tv show and this video shows some of my characters beginning to be created and be shown on TV. It is "to be continued" because it is just the beginning, with more to come. I am happy and proud of it because I worked on it for hours. Thanks.

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

I am 6 years old. I learned about Cardinals in my art class and they are colorful, cheerful, and pretty like my parakeets at home!

Hello, my name is Charlotte and I'm so happy to be in this contest! Something that inspired my art was the beautiful, colorful city and the beauty of being up high to see it, and at the same time feeling a calm stillness of being alone and sitting in the rain. I also really wanted to put my OC Nauro in it, and having him looking down on the city, which I think came out really nice! I really hope you like my art!

I did a collage out of magazines!

My name is Kai, and I’m 9 years old. I loooove drawing. I have been drawing for a looooooooong time. And I drew this because the FIFA World Cup is coming soon, and I like playing soccer with my friends. I tried to make this art piece of 4 people playing soccer at school, not at a stadium. This piece makes me feel excited and want to play soccer and can’t wait to. My favorite soccer team is the Whitecaps.

I was inspired to make this piece because we learned how to draw hands in one of my classes. I really enjoy sketching and shading and I am glad that I found out School to help me excel in my drawings.

I seriously don’t know why I made this, I was lying in bed and I had a sudden thought about drawing a snake, then I just built on that. Everything below the collarbone on the skeleton is based of a Google image, the rest is from my imagination, hence why the snakes look like gummy worms 🐛. Uhhhh I don’t know what to put…I spent around maybe 6-8 hours on it, during class periods, and I was really scared to color the snakes because it was my first time using shading and blending with color. Tysm!

My piece is inspired by the Chinese New Year festivals and it makes me happy because it got me a good grade in art class.

I would to enter this. I really hope you guys like it.

This piece is inspired by my parents. The tree represents growth, strength, and the ability to adapt to stress. The dove symbolizes peace. This work represents how i look at the world, instead of being angry at little things, it allows me to change my ways and Look at the things for the better.ultimately showing that even if you struggle, you can pick it right back up. Showing how it represents my development in my skills, not just as an artist but as a person.

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!

Raelyn started drawing last year and has come very far! She loves drawing people with different fashion styles and is working on animals as well. Raelyn wants to share her art and for people to know that the more you practice, the better you will get!

I love drawing and 3D art because I like creating things with my hands and imagination. This piece is a macaw that I made after learning about birds. I was inspired by how colorful and beautiful they are. I used oil pastels and watercolor to make different textures and bright colors especially on the feathers and the background. This artwork makes me feel like anything is possible. A macaw can fly wherever it wants and I think our imagination can fly too, just like a macaw.

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

I really like nature. We have bird feeders and cardinals go to it all the time. They inspired my drawing. I am very proud of my cardinal drawing and I think it's my best drawing.

I have a lot of inspirations for this piece, but the main ones are otters and axolotls, who I based the two alien creatures on. The red sky with two suns is a nod to some real-life solar systems that have two stars in them.

I learned about this mysterious plane on Youtube so I clicked on it to see what it was. I wanted to figure out why this plane crashed and I decided to make a drawing of it. What happened and the drawing made me feel sad because there were a lot of people in it. I chose purple, pink, and yellow so it felt like a dream as if it was still flying.

I like drawing and making wire art. I also like heelying and soccer. I have my Heelys on right now.

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!

This snow leopard inspires me because it is beautiful and majestic. Nikki Toews has taught me so much and I hope this drawing shows it.

I am a dancer, and I am on pointe :) I love dancing and art, I have been doing art for several years now :) this piece was inspired by my love of dance and gesture drawings :)

Hi, my name is Charlotte! This is my drawing featuring my OCs named Cameron (bottom) and Hyun (top). They went through a lot together, but Cameron couldn't save Hyun from the things and people hurting him. Cameron now has to live with the possibility that one day he will slowly forget Hyun's face, then his voice, and then him altogether.

Lenny is a bright and creative 13-year-old with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a condition that affects his social interactions and emotional regulation. 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.
