I enjoy exaggerating muscles into almost inhuman proportions, so this piece was very enjoyable. My favorite medium is ink with watercolors.

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.

I am from Colorado and we have bears and aspens all around the state. I also made a sunset colored background because we have colorful sunsets here.

My drawing is called Winter Day. Drawing this made me feel peaceful. I imagined the crisp cold air, the softness of the snow, and the joy that comes with a winter day. I wanted to show how winter looks, and how it feels. It looks so beautiful. Even though I live in a place where a lot of snow is rare, I thought of my past memories of playing in the snow with my sister and what a perfect snowy day would look like.

I am Emily, the creator of this piece. This is a redesign of my original character Kentor Chehiri. I wanted to make this design more unique and him then the previous one was. This piece makes me feel proud of how far I improved in art and character design.

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.

Hi I am Eric, I painted a story about a angry cat chasing a small golden mouse. The cat's anger is like the thunder and lightning, they strike toward the mouse. The mouse is scared but also brave, it doges the strikes and will reach to it's home. Inside the cave, there is a TNT prepared, if the cat follows, it will be trapped.

Hi I'm Olivia! I'm 10 years old and I love art and have been in Outschool since first grade. I'm the type of person who would either read (Harry Potter or Wings of Fire), draw my pokemon ocs, write Harry Potter fan fiction, or listen to kpop all day. I love to draw digitally and physically. This piece I drew, Ecosystem of Our community, shows our community, the world, and how it works together to form the perfect ecosystem, where plants grow, animals live, and we work together. ( O _ O )

This piece was inspired by my mom because it is a bunch of things that she loves in one painting. It is also good practice because I want to be an artist one day.

The first thing you should know about me is that I love to write - and of course, draw! This illustration is the cover for a novel that I currently am writing. It is a love story about a girl and a prince who despite their circumstances, build their own happy ending. This book in particular is inspired by my favorite author, Jane Austen. This story holds special meaning for me because I have been working on it since I was seven years old.

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.

I love giant pandas! My family and I visited the Panda Sanctuary in Chengdu, China last year. I loved watching them eating bamboos. My art teacher had an Umbrella Project for us to paint whatever we would like, so I painted pandas climbing and playing in bamboo forest because that is their favorite food and home!

My English name is Murphy I play baseball and is a big fan of dodgers. Once I watched “Interstellar” I am interested in planets so I create this to show how small humans and civilizations are to the universe. this makes me feel joyful because I love to express my feeling to others this artwork gives me a feeling of awe.

I like budgerigars. I was inspired by my two parrots, Misty and Wasabi. I like the natural clay surface. It makes a nice canvas. Budgerigars are the second smallest parrot in the world.

My name is Addison and I love pigs because they are pink and cute. I especially like piglets because they are small and you can hold them. I also love when they oink! I drew these pigs to show how happy and friendly they are. This picture makes me feel happy and drawing them made me smile, and I hope it makes other people smile too.

My name is Alivia, my piece was inspired by how I love animals and the world around me.

I really enjoy art and think it is very fun and intresting. I enjoyed painting this piece because it reflects a city at dusk. It makes me want to go outside and look at nature. It also gives me the feeling of riding in a car and looking out the window, seeing in the city.

I am inspired by walks through state forests, seeings birds resting on riverbanks or flying overhead, the Great Blue Heron is a marvelous sight to see.

I love making art and this piece is one of my favorites overall. I did this piece in class and I was very happy with how it turned out after shading it in and taking my time with this artwork.

This piece was inspired by me wanting to make my very first animation from start to finish. I learned how to use Procreate Dreams in my OutSchool class. And I came up with a simple story, made a storyboard, and then turned it into an animation which was very exciting. I also added sounds to make it more immersive. This project helped me learn a lot, and it shows my first step into animation.

My dog and my cousin's dog inspired me because my cousin's had to give up their dog for adoption. My dog is brave because she doesn't see her sister any more.

Hi, I'm Finn and I like making art. This is my first charcoal drawing. I think sharks are cool and that's why I chose a shark to draw. I also like painting and making sculptures.

This was a recent class project on fruits that I completed, and I chose my favorites. I started to like red, so I chose apples and a pear with red in the background.

Music has something to offer nearly everyone! If you like writing, you can write music. If you like an instrument, you can play it. If you like singing, you can sing. If you like art, you can make album covers. If you like organizing, you can be a manager. There’s so much opportunity! Throughout history, people have used music to spread messages of inspiration, and I hope that this piece inspires you! Music has inspired me so much as an avid singer, and I just love listening to it so much!

Catalina is a homeschooler who found a passion for art after sustaining a traumatic brain injury. She loves Outschool because it allows her to focus on learning in ways that work for her... through music, art, movement, community, discussion, and relationships. She has been learning mixed-media in her Outschool classes, and this work is a mix of color pencils and learning how to use an embossing technique. She also lives at an animal sanctuary and loves to include animals in her art.

Goldie is the main character in a sequence of books and animations.

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.

I’m Riley and I love cats, chocolate and creating things. My painting makes me feel happy. This piece was inspired by flowers. I created it in class while learning about different indigenous cultures.

I am the second of five kids and my family is my favorite place to find inspiration. I love to make my younger brother laugh with the cartoons I draw and my older brother and I love to design and build things with Lego. This drawing is of my grandfather. He died a couple of years ago and it left a big hole in my heart, drawing him helps me to feel connected to him and to the heritage of values he passed on to our entire family; being honest and courageous in everything we do.

Batman is the original style of comics art that inspired the anime that I like to draw. -Phoenix

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

I did this piece because it made me feel good about myself, it made feel like a good dancer because I love to dance, I like to feel free and wild. I feel like a blossoming Magnolia flower when I dance. like a flower waiting to blossom.

My name is Isla and i have been drawing for three years. This piece of art was inspired by my trip to Galapagos where I saw lots and lots of sea lions. I even swam with them in the ocean!!!. I am really happy how it turned out. The thing I like most about the drawing is the eyes!!!!!

I am a lover of all things found in nature and feel truly inspired being in it. This artwork was inspired by the bison at my local national park, and how they often have large groups of birds following them. I would like to give a special thanks to Nikki Toews, for helping me become the artist I am today.

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!

Hello, my name is Wyatt. I was inspired to draw this portrait as I learned more about art and shading with light and dark. It makes me feel accomplished seeing how much I have learned.

I love art and specifically I enjoyed playing with lighting in my art. This piece was inspired by elf characters I created and wanting to practice more with lighting.

I love art and nature! My favorite place to visit is the beach and I have a special place in my heart for sea turtles.

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 Eva, I enjoy learning languages and travel. The three matryoshka dolls refer to my sisters who inspired me to be a great, big sister.

I love art, and when people hear that they ask me what kind of art I like. The thing is that I like all kinds of art painting, building, sketching I found that art is something that I can use to express myself. I made this peace because of a book that I like to read that's called Warriors, and it's about cats. About a year ago they made a graphic novel, and anytime something exiting was about to happen a bird would show up. So what if it was like that in real life, could you imagen?

I love art so I really wanted to enter this art competition. My mommy likes the beach a lot , so I made this beach styled art. I made me to show it was made by me. I'm glad to share this with you guys!

My piece makes me feel happy because of fireworks like on her dress and fountains and music

I live in rural Vermont with my you get brother, parents, six dogs, six parakeets, a bunch of chickens and a turtle. I enjoy my favorite music, scene core style, dogs, and my OC in general

I was inspired to create this by a random music Playlist. I really just wanted to have fun and finally draw on one of my canvases I had forgotten about. :)

For my art piece I tried to make a character as creative as possible. I added features like a cool ring eye and I went for a manga style look. I made this piece look unbalanced and gave it quirky details that I liked. Voin is supposed to be a malfunction or a weird human but he ended up being a really awesome soccer player that's really nice (and funny) :)

I have always wanted to be an artist, and animals and designs like the one in my piece have been a major inspiration for me. When I began drawing this piece, it was not meant to be a “big thing”, but as my mind wandered and my hand took over, I found myself carefully layering colors and brushstrokes that I had not ever known I could create. It transcended simply sitting and thinking of what to create, and I know more awaits me in a future where I am inspired to create more extraordinary pieces.

I am a young artist just trying to express my creativity. My piece is inspired by a fictional character from a Dungeons and Dragons YouTube Channel and it is one of my favorite recent artworks. I am hoping to turn my artistic abilities into a career—from drawing, animating, writing, singing, playing the double bass, my life is built around art. I love this piece because the process helped me learn so much and continue adapting my style. It’s very aesthetically pleasing to me and I’m proud of it.

Drawing makes me feel calm and seeing them come to life makes me really proud. I love to crochet too. I was inspired to draw this piece because I wanted my favorite character from Wings of Fire to come to life and show my WOF friends.

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. She's part of the group, IVE, and seeing her unbelievable talent of singing and dancing makes me feel happy. I just wanted to share my love for music and drawing through this piece.

My Name is Zayaan Ali Qureshi, I am home schooled and have been on out school since nursery/ pre K. My mom says Im very talented and a Genius, I don't think so but I think Drawing is my special power. I see things differently then others when I draw I see moving story, acting and expressions. I like to explain the action and story through my drawings I am inspired by characters and action. I hope you like what I do :)

Hi, my name is Olivia and I love animals,nature,and creating art.This is a picture of me (Or you or just someone else)looking up from the ocean floor and seeing all kinds of fish, sea grass, and coral.They also find a seahorse,sea turtle,and a narwhal.On the sides you see are sea rocks.(or maybe just rocks in the ocean)They go from dark to light as representing the dark ocean floor to the rocks near the surface.(or more close to the surface)I hope you find this drawing very cool and fascinating!

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.

My name is Addison. I was inspired to draw and color a snail rainbow because me feel happy.

I have been drawing since I was 4. Now I am passionate about animals and conservation. This year I started painting, so that my sketches pop with color and display the diverse beauty of the animals and their environments. A documentary of a giant squid inspired me to draw this. I feel overjoyed to be able to capture the beauty of this animal rarely seen while it’s alive. Fun fact: I like painting to the beat of music. I like to let my brush strokes dance with the beat. It makes me smile.

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.

This was inspired by things I’ve loved since I was a child, like princesses, their large sweeping gowns, and my old music box with a small ballerina. I wanted this to feel nostalgic, magical, and warm. Her appearance is based off myself, her tiara is inspired by the old plastic toy crowns I used to dress up with, and her dress is a fusion of all the different classical dress styles I love.

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 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.

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

I'm from Canada where there is lots of snow right now. I enjoy going to the zoo and watching the snow leopards. When I look at the snow leopard in my picture, I think about how much I love to go outside and play in the snow. I like to build snow forts, have snow ball fights and go for snowmobile rides. I also like to play with my 2 out door cats who remind me of the snow leopard.

This beautiful Scarlet Macaw is listening to the sound of nature and wondering if she should stay or fly away into the canopy of the Amazon. I am inspired by nature. I am 13 years old. Art brings me peace, so when I draw the nature around me, I feel we are one.

My name is Cornelia and I am learning how to watercolor paint. I like it because I have fun doing it. This piece of art is called The Roadway Sunset. I like this piece of art because it's pretty. It makes me feel happy.

I loved the bright colors and am inspired by the diversity in other cultures.

My piece makes me feel proud of my artist skills. Wolves are one of my favorite animals.

At school I was doing a research project on jellyfish and so I decided to draw a jellyfish with other sea creatures, because I love the ocean and some of my favorite animals live in the ocean. Jellyfish live without brains or hearts and glow in the dark!

I drew this dog because dogs make me feel brave and strong. My favorite thing to draw is animals .

My name is Isla, and I love nature and art. My grandma loves bees, so I combined what she loves with what I love to make her a picture. I've been taking watercolor classes for nearly four years. I want to show my grandma how much I REALLY appreciate her by getting the picture I made for her on a billboard in Times Square.

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.

the piece was inspired by the many anime that I watch

My favorite duck Sammy who loves to eat and swim.

I LOVE doing art! I made a picture to inspire others for a more peaceful world. I love animals and nature, so that is what inspired me. This picture makes me feel proud and like I can make the world a better place! I hope you get inspired too! Thank You for taking your time to look at my art and read about it!

I am the one, the only; ARAN!!! (Ahem, sorry) As seasons have passed, I've become more entranced every year by the beauty of fall all around the world. I found that trees in their autumnal state are so naturally well captured in art, so that is what I did. To be specific, this is a portrayal of a path through the Green Mountains National Park. I've destroyed 3 brushes, missed some homework, and have a sore back, so as long as your life may go on happily ever after, I say this: VOTE FOR ME!!!!!!!

I love the show and he is my favorite character.

Hi my name is Luka, I modeled, textured, and rendered this 3d scene in blender and partially textured in adobe substance painter. I made it like for my portfolio idk. Vote for me cuz why not.

This artwork of mine is based on what inspires me - music, my family (from Norway), Tae Kwon Do, and hearts for being kind. In this piece you can also see a bear eating a cake. That cake is actually called ‘Verdens Beste Kake’ meaning ‘Worlds Best Cake’ in Norwegian! It’s a cake that me and my grandma make together for our families birthdays. It’s really special to me, and she inspires me so much. The background is based off of me and things I like/inspire me, which means a lot to me.

I’ve always loved creating art. “Wolfychu Fanart” is a piece inspired by a story time animator on YouTube named Wolfychu, I’ve enjoyed her content for years and wanted to make something to express how much I appreciate her work. “Aurelia’s Rage” is a piece inspired by my story, which I’ve been writing for the past 6 years. It was also a way to experiment with monochrome colors, and see what my art would look like if i didn’t stress over it looking perfect, and just drew what I wanted.✨

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<)/

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

My dad brought my mother some beautiful flowers and it inspired me to paint them. Luckily we painted tulips on our next outschool lesson. What a coincidence!

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.

When I was younger I didn’t like any sports to play in my free time. Then I discovered my passion. Drawing. Soon I later learned that the pen and paper was my power. Every artwork I make makes me feel proud and want to continue my art journey. From what began as a stickman evolved into an artwork that made people happy. :)

This art resembles a hard day, the rain is my emotions and the ice is when it hardens into clumps of anger, sadness and fear, when it’s sunny they will melt and go away. I am the snowman.

This watercolor painting was painted by first painting the sunset background and then adding the other layers after it dried. This painiting makes me feel calm.

I love to read and sometimes I wish I could climb up a tree and read.I love birds they are very fascinating and beautiful.I love African elephants and how big they are.I used all these things and put them in a picture.

Ella is inspired by architecture, understated details, and God’s creations. Reviving Impressionism through the Abstract, she blends varied perspectives, inviting viewers into the canvas. Ella curates a relationship between her art and the beholder, carefully conscious of each piece’s lasting persuasion. This large-scale floral is inspired by the cottage gardens in the front yard of her family home. Gardening and painting swirl together, lifting the viewer’s thoughts to the Creator of it all.

My name is Kyla and I love Outschool art classes. I take as many classes as my mom will let me. I was inspired to draw this waterfall to create peaceful art and share peace with the world. This drawing makes me feel peaceful and calm, just like watching a waterfall in real life.

My name is Felicity, I live in England and I am 12 years old. I drew this because octopus are fun to draw and I wanted him to be drawing because I like to draw. I feel happy for him because he is like my child and he hasn't given up on his dreams :D

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.

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.

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!

My name is Annabelle and my favorite kind of art is watercolors. Creating art makes me feel really happy. What inspired me to make this art piece is my love for cats and mermaids.

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.

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.

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

I'm Alex, I enjoy reading, writing, and art, which are all passions Outschool has helped me explore! My piece of art is based on a photo I took of Split Rock Lighthouse on a trip along Lake Superior. I wanted to make a picture out of a good memory, and I feel happy every time I see it!

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