Hello! I'm Lucy and I love dinosaurs. I love Art, specifically paleoart, too. I wanted my art piece to look like you just took a picture of a dinosaur, who might be scared of a volcano. I want the piece to make you feel like you've been swept away by some mysterious force that took you to the Mesozoic era, and instead of thinking that everything is in chaos, all you can think is "Wow, the wonders of Earth".

My name is Fiona and I LOVE cats. I drew a picture of a cat, because cats inspire me! Cats are persistent, athletic, and of course ADORABLE. This cat I drew has only three legs, but it still shows its glimmering rainbow fur to all the world! 🐱

Hi, I’m Zayden! Digital art inspires me because it helps me connect with people in ways words can’t. I used existing video clips to create something new through my own editing and digital art. I like turning moments into feelings people can experience. Creating this helped me see what’s possible when I use my creativity. I made it myself without AI.

Despite the fact I am usually doing dragon-themed things, the thing that inspires me most is the night sky, the deep colors, and the stunning Northern Lights in this photo. I may not win, however, this piece of art was incredibly fun to draw, as well as it being the first detailed background/scenic picture I've ever done! Thank for you for reading!

Watercolor of Aurora borealis, a winter mountain scene, and a mother and baby snow leopard. This watercolor features a rare sighting of a winter mountain prowl of a mother and baby snow leopard underneath the Aurora Borealis. This art makes me feel calm and happy as I think about these rare winter creatures living peacefully in the mountains. I used to live in Alaska and I had the privildge to see the Aurora Borealis in real life so this watercolor reflects my memory seeing it.

The picture is of the artist Prince. It is based off of the Parade album cover by Prince and The Revolution.

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

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.

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.

Why I drew this picture of Kirby, Meta Knight, Bandana Waddle Dee, King Dedede, Marx, and Parasol Waddle Dee is because it reminds me of my childhood playing all different kinds of Kirby on the Wii, GameCube, and SNES. I always played with my mom so it is a thing with us to play Kirby cause we love it. Marx is my favorite character because I think he resembles me in his wild goofy way. Plus I'm short and good at balancing on balls.

This painting is inspired by SZA’s SOS album cover, where she’s sitting alone at the edge of a diving board surrounded by the ocean. That image was based on a famous photo of Princess Diana sitting the same way on a yacht in 1997. I wanted to capture a similar feeling of isolation and not belonging, even as the world watches. The blue tones represent calm on the outside but sadness underneath.

From a young age, I've been inspired by space through drawing and building with LEGOs. It sparked my curiosity and imagination about what exists beyond our world. Space makes me feel excited and full of wonder, pushing me to dream big. I hope to become a mechanical engineer and work with NASA one day. This piece reflects my passion, creativity, and belief that I can turn my dreams into reality.

Hi! My name is Brooke and I love anime, manga, drawing, creating stories, and Jesus! It's hard to explain my inspiration for this art piece, but I will try. Basically my character Aiko Atsumari (the subject of my drawing) is looking back at the past, both the good and the bad, which is signified by the direction of the lighting and darkness in the art piece.

My name is Jibran. I have a strong interest in arts and crafts. I made this picture of Roman Reign who is my favorite wrestler. I like his strength and hair. It makes me happy when I put my emotions into creativity.

Stitch is my blue and gold macaw. I've had him for 13 years he very attached to me and he is extremely quirky; he brings me so much joy.

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.

My drawing classes inspired this picture, and I really like it and yeah.

I wanted to make realistic eyes that pop and feel glossy.

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.

My names Rowan, and my art piece is a recreation of the Mona Lisa. But I did this with my own work! This was my first attempt, but I hope to get better and better.

I was inspired to draw this piece because I love the stars and I have always wanted to go on a camping trip. I think the stars are like little tiny campfires because they're always sparkly and they always sparkle up the night... even when the moon isn't out! I like art, when you feel confident in yourself, your art lights up your heart. When you listen to yourself, your art shines like the stars no matter who you are- you are unique,and have a gift. I hope you liked this message.:)

I love painting Lord Ganesha because he is the god of new beginnings and always looks so kind. I was inspired by the bright colors of yellow and orange that remind me of a sunny day. When I look at my art, I feel very happy and calm. I hope my painting makes people feel like they have a big, colorful friend watching over them.

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

My name is Ava. I love taking art classes from Mrs. Lauren and using watercolors. I liked doing this Hidden Tiger piece because it makes me feel like I am in an actual jungle watching a tiger staring at his prey.

Personally, I am very afraid of bugs. However, I've always enjoyed watching butterflies, which is why I decided to draw them. I am also commonly inspired by nature.

This warrior makes me feel confident and safe because he will protect me.

Hi! My name is FionaI love to paint and i love the pretty sparkly galaxies and i love the night skies sparkly stars so i thought why not paint a galaxy painting so i did and this painting i got tons of inspiration to make it and it is so sparkly! And i got so many compliments!

This piece is a drawing of an eye with only the iris colored to symbolize how if we look into ourselves, we all have our own “super powers.” This concept inspires me as a person because it helps remind ourselves to never give up and that we all have a purpose on living whether you know it or not.

I love to draw people and animals. I make my own books inspired by my favorite characters and some I create myself. I love people of all colors. We can all be friends.

~ 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.

I love the show and he is my favorite character.

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.

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 enjoy creating art that tells a story through color, nature, and imagination. This piece was inspired by a dream of a magical world full of birds, where the rainbow seemed endless and the moon glowed like the sun. A great crane soaring peacefully through the sky made me think of freedom, hope, and beauty. It reminds me to believe in myself, think big, and imagine endless possibilities.

My name is Gayle, and since I love books and they really inspire me I decided to draw about one to enter it. Books make me feel happy, so I made art that shows a magic book with a unicorn, a dragon and a sun made out of delicious kiwi. Anything can happen in a book, that's why they inspire me!

I really devote myself to drawing and really love drawing animals like cats and dogs! I am deeply proud of how far I’ve gotten in art!!! My piece was inspired by cats, because they’re so cool! (obviously.) It makes me feel very proud of how great I’ve gotten at art!!!

Hi! I'm Alexander and this piece was inspired by my sister, Amaya who also submitted her piece.

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.

We love the lumas from super Mario bros!

My name is Sylvie, I am a digital/traditional artist that is learning about realism and showing my art to the world. I wanted to make this piece because I think to sum up your life and passion, you could just stack all the activites in the world between two buns and take out the different ingredients (passions) to find the perfect sandwich to eat for the rest of your life. This art piece makes me feel like even if you feel like you don't have a passion, there will always be one out there to try.

Nature has always inspired and delighted me. I believe there is a story hidden in everything, and my ambition is to capture that in my art. This sketch expresses my feeling as I grow roots in a new community. "If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere." - Vincent van Gogh

My rendition of Starry Night Sky makes me feel nostalgic. When I first saw it as a little kid I was curious about how the swirls were painted. I always wanted to try it out for myself. I felt if I tried I would be able to paint it in a way that tells a story about me, who I am.

I took inspiration from the sea and the creatures inside it. it inspired me to draw a picture of a turtle. My favorite animal. Thank you

Hi my name is Cristina! This piece was inspired by one of the protagonists in my favorite novel series, The Powerless trilogies' Kai Azer. In the story his childhood is full of battles. The battles of his own fears and the battles of protecting the people he loves. As a Bear protects it's family and it's forests, this is the perfect animal to present Kai (his bouncy brown curls and a Bears brown fur match as well). This drawing came out much better than expected! I am very proud of my creation.

My name is Ezra I like animating! What inspired this drawing is seeing sunsets and I love turtles. This drawing makes me happy. And look at those baby turtles! 😍

My name is Bronwyn and I am an aspiring concept artist. This art piece was inspired by J.C. Leyendecker’s work and other illustrative artists.

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.

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.

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

Hi! My name is Lindsay and I am turning 14 near the end of April. My piece was inspired by myself and my progression over the years. I wanted to capture how I have changed over the last couple of years. Since I normally do not do self portraits, this was a challenge for me. I have always struggled with portraying myself, or anything related to me, so I am incredibly proud. This was a step out of my comfort zone, and I’m proud of what I have created. Thank you!

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

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. This piece made me feel both calm and uneasy at the same time, reminding me that we are never completely alone, even in stillness.

I drew this in my art class, and I like it because I've never drawn a dragon before. I like drawing new things because it makes me happy. I like drawing a lot because it's fun, and I want to illustrate books one day.

I wanted to draw and showcase food.

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

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.

it's my OC art pace kawaii space mew god Evee goodness family lgbqt

I love to draw and paint, I am 7 yrs old and want to be an artist when I grow up.

I enjoy painting and realistic drawing. This piece, title Dream Cat, is inspired by my love of cats and John Nieto's Wildcat. I proud of this artwork. It makes me feel happy.

I like cats and drawing! Cardamom and Putchie are my cats, and they are really cute. They make me feel very happy and I like them a lot.

I am an entrepreneur who enjoys developing marketing materials for businesses. I like to practice making logos, brochures, flyers, and business cards. This is my favorite logo I have created because it is simple but unique. It's an art piece that catches people's attention and makes them want to learn more about the business.

My name is Alex.

"Raining Inspiration" came from things in my life that inspire me in my day to day activities. The things I drew represent what I love - my family, friends, nature, books about dragons, my faith and so many other things. I feel proud to share my drawings and feel like I can soar when I have these items represented in my art.

I have always loved art and I find it an easy and enjoyable way to express myself. I like to do portraits in lot of different mediums. I was inspired for this particular piece by how being surrounded by nature can make you feel comfort and inspiration.

Sometimes when I am board I start by drawing a line. And sometimes I am like "oh it could be this!" so this piece was used to represent that with a bunch of lines turning into a bunch of different things.

My dog inspired me to make this drawing. She is very cute and fuzzy but I love her personality best. She is very energetic and sweet. I also love watching her sleep. I made the art piece using pencils. The pencils I used were 2B, 4B and 6B. This was the first time I’ve used different pencil grades. Some of the trials I’ve had with this drawing were getting the shapes right and getting the lines straight. But the biggest struggle I had was getting the lines light enough.

I love to read, write, and draw. The Wings of Fire series has inspired me a lot in my writing and my art. I've read the books and drawn the characters countless times. Every time I do, I find something new that inspires me and pushes me to keep creating. Glory is one of my favorite characters in the books, which is why I chose to draw her as my entry for this showcase.

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.

While working on painting an ocean wave, I was inspired by the curl at the tip of the wave. It reminded me of a dragons snout, so I continued painting it until my wave became a complete dragon. Looking at this dragon makes me happy because of how much I love reading about dragons and fantasy.

I made this piece in an art camp. I took creative liberty for the fence and the background.

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.

Hi, I am Cindyll, and I am 15. For the last year, I have been studying and drawing faces. I found myself especially drawn to eyes. To me, the eye is an amazing creation of beauty and intricacy: the vibrant colors, the way the light reflects on the iris, and the way that they can express emotion that words can’t. I wanted to capture that in my art. In my piece, there is a window reflected in the eye. The eye is truly the window to the soul. You just have to take the time to look.

My name is Hunter and I enjoy drawing anime. I have taken anime classes on Outschool over the years. Some of my favorite classes have been Shine: Drawing Club: Drawing Anime Step by Step for New Beginners with Ms. Roxy, Epic Character Art: Premier Sketching With a Pro Artist with Ms. Roxy, and Anime 101-Anime and Manga Drawing for Beginners with Ms. Harriet. The classes have really helped me improve my drawing skills and I am excited to continue on my art journey.

I’m 7 years old and love to draw. I do a weekly art class on outschool and draw everyday. I chose to draw a fox because I think they’re cute and cool.

Art and animals are my passion. I love doing art that has animals pictured because we have so many animals and pets at our home. I love nature, especially birds, and have loved taking classes on how to draw natural landscapes and realistic animals.

2026 is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese lunar calendar. Both my grandpas, from my dad’s side and my mom’s side, were born in the Year of the Horse. 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.

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

What inspired me to make this piece is symbolism. Symbolism has always been a big and inspirational part of my life. It has encouraged me to view the world and scenarios in many different ways, and has even encouraged me to start writing a book which will have a lot of symbolism. I loved making this piece and i hope you feel the same amount of joy as i did making it.

Hello my name is Sara. This dragon makes my feel confident. I really like this drawing because of how unique and cute it is.

I’m a weaver and garment maker who pushes each project to teach me something new. I wove the striped, polka dot, and solid fabrics on an 8-shaft loom using the yarn shown, then constructed these boots from scratch on a last. This was my first time making boots. The project involved shaping with heat and stiffeners, setting grommets, securing heels, and adding leather trim. I love polka dots for both their look and structural challenge. This piece reflects my process: learning by doing.

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.

My name is Kahealani and I love to draw. I’m 9 years ago and my dream is to be an artist.

This piece symbolises the coming of spring as the snow melts, the sun comes out, and the flowers bloom. The feeling of the fresh cool breeze, and the sun on your face. It depicts a self-portrait holding my favorite flower. Even when the dark seems to last forever, the sun will come.

I am a young artist. I love, nature, animals, drawing, and ballet. This year I've learned a lot about drawing animals from my teacher Jessie and it really helped me express my art better. I picked a tiger because I wanted to draw an animal in the jungle. When I see a picture of a tiger in the jungle, I feel brave and peaceful. It inspired me to be brave and submit my art to this contest.

I was thinking about my favorite animals, horses and swans. I thought that a picture of flight would be nice to draw. I chose the Pegasus because it is a horse with wings so it can fly with the swans.

Poppies are vibrant and bold so they inspire me to feel that part of me when I paint them.

My name is Kaia. I chose this picture because I love to look at the stars and the bright moon in the sky at night. It makes me feel calm and relaxed.

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.

Hello! My name is Nadia. Ever since I was a kid all forms of art have inspired me whether that be music, painting, writing, or even little things in nature! My piece aims to incorporate how art connects with and inspires me, and I hope all of those veiwing it can experience that sense of joy from art too :))

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.

I love reading and I love drawing, its fun to get lost in both sometimes.

My name is Agastya. I love painting, especially scenes from nature and the universe. Painting gives me peace and happiness. When I see the beauty of the world, it inspires me to explore more and imagine what lies beyond our boundaries. It also reminds me how important it is to take care of our Mother Earth and keep it beautiful by cleaning and recycling. Since life exists only on this planet, we all have a responsibility to protect it.

Hi I'm Ella what inspired my drawing was my dogs. I love to draw all kinds of animals. It makes me happy to draw them because they are so cute. I drew my dogs with pencil.

I love to design cake decorations, so I drew this cupcake on a picnic blanket which makes me happy.

My name is Raya. I really enjoy fashion design, and I got inspired for this piece at a beach. I always loved how the waves roll and overlap. The ocean truly is a work of art. I hope that you like my art! Please vote🫶🫶

I learned a lot about the humpback whale and it made me feel happy and calm. I want to share that feeling with others.

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 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.
