Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

It’s art style is based of the old micky mouse cartoons but what happens in the animation is more loony tunes hope you enjoy it ;D

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 like to draw colorful and unique people. I don't really think too hard. I just draw whatever I think looks cool. It makes me feel happy to draw all kinds of things.

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.

My name is Nixon and drawing makes me feel good about myself. For my majestic bee, it makes me feel great how the colors look.

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.

A nice person who loves to draw Anime and other cartoon characters. She said her inspiration came from seeing the shading and the detail of creating the piece. She said the drawing made her happy. We live in Washington, DC, not Washington state.

I like dragons. The picture makes me feel like I’m looking at a fire dragon eye.

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.

Whiskers and Delicacies is about a cat dreaming of yummy fish. I love cats because they are fluffy and cute, and even though I love dogs more, I started with cats because they are simpler to draw.

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.

Mia is 6 years old and she loves giraffes. There is a painting that hangs in our dining room of a colorful giraffe and Mia loves to paint it with watercolor.

This was my first attempt at drawing with my oil crayons, so I drew one of the animals I've been learning about: an eagle. I practiced a blending technique to make the sky different colors.

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.

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

My name is Santino. This piece was inspired by my imagination. It makes me feel proud of myself and happy.

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 love animals and nature. My piece is showing how worlds can be connected.

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 love moods and colors. I wanted to make something beautiful, warm and rich. I hope it makes you feel like time stopped a bit just for you!

This is a group of original characters (OCs) that I've created for an animated series I've written and directed. I used the digital art app Procreate to create this over the course of nine hours.

As a person who's always adored cats, the Bengal tiger is a feline I have always admired for it's majestic behavior and resplendent striped coat. My love for animals has awakened a passion inside that has driven me to create realistic animal portraits such as these. I hope this simple drawing can emphasize the beauty of the Bengal tiger.

Hi I'm Mariah! Ever since I was little I've always enjoyed arts and crafts. I grew to love drawing when I realized how pretty art can be. Black beauty is what inspired this drawing. My parents always affirm me and teach me to embrace my natural beauty. I hope others look at this drawing and find confidence and self worth in the skin they are in because Black Is Beautiful and all are too!

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.

this painting is using acrylic, It is my best painting featuring a man following a light with faith, I love this painting for all of the different meaning to it, i don't paint often but when I do I like it as a side project, I also play soccer, piano and I love singing!!

I love dinosaurs and I want to learn how to paint all the dinosaurs in the world! The stegosaurus is my mom's favorite dino and pink is my sister's favorite color!

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 :)

As someone who has played music on stage and in many rehearsals, this was inspired by the feeling of being swept up into the music. The way that it feels when you are truly connected to what you are playing and it's like you morph into it. It shows how powerful that can be, when you can express so many emotions through a song.

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!

It’s one of my favorite anime's to watch and it made me feel happy to draw it.

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 Sercie and I love drawing people and their expressions. I have five siblings (three biological), so I’m always surrounded by different personalities that inspire my art. This piece is inspired by a homeschooled Olympian and the quiet strength it takes to follow your own path. I created it with markers and pen, focusing on emotion in the eyes and face. Art is my escape and a way to capture the stories I see in people.

I have a favorite tree in my grandma’s yard that feels a little magical. It is kind of hidden and I enjoy climbing up and sitting in it. My dog Skibby will often follow me. I also love the Fall and all fairytales so I added in things like the pumpkins and the little gnome. I also love fashion, so I designed a dress I would love to wear with little white butterflies on it. I enjoy drawing, painting and working with clay, so this art piece combines all of these things together.

I am artist, a writer, a singer, and much more. I enjoy being outside and around animals, and the place you will find me is in my room, in my bed snuggling and reading with my cats, or at my desk writing and creating worlds, in art or writing. I enjoys singing, and can be found singing my favorite songs. My dreams inspired me to create this art piece. I used bright colors and symbols to represent my bright spirit, and put a hot air balloon to represent her soaring creativity.

I love to read and crochet. This piece is inspired by spring. It makes me feel calm and peaceful.

My name is William and I’m ten years old. I love to draw, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I am inspired by the art of Dave Pilkey.

I'm a 10 year old girl with a younger sister. My sister wanted a character who could ride a horse and was named Harriet. I drew the picture and designed her outfit. Harriet is always up for an adventure and likes to explore!

Hi, my name is Jemma and I have been passionate art since a very young age. I feel specifically drawn to realism because it helps me express the exact emotions of a moment when I draw. I feel inspired by seeing famous places and imagining how much my art might grow, and how one day people might recognize my art and it could become great. Seeing places like NYC makes me think about how many other unknown artists out there dreaming of becoming known for their art.

Hi, my name is Audrey. I made this drawing of a mother and daughter growing up. It shows them at different stages of life, standing together. I was inspired by this because even though they are both growing and changing, one thing stays the same: they are always together. In my Outschool art classes, I’ve been learning how to make realistic drawings but usually my art style is a bit more cartoon-like. I tried to mix both of my styles in this drawing. I used colored pencils and pen.

Hello, I’m Hayden! I love to read, play sports, write, drawing 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

My name is Nola Mae and I have been riding horses since I was 6, For 8 years now, since I first started riding, I dreamed of competing at a place like CHP, and a few months ago I was able to make that dream come true and compete there winning first place with sarge, I used what exactly went through my head when I won, all my little 6 year old memories playing back in my head during my last stride to the winning last jump and all the hard work I did to get there

My name is Alia and I wanted to share this pice of artwork because I feel so proud I was able to make it. I am honestly not that focused on wining, but more on showing people what I am most talented at, but I DEFINITELY don’t mind winning! By the way, a Deadly Nater is a dragon that can shoot spikes from its tail and can produce a fire blast from its throat to attack if needed.

I love art such as drawing, crafting and painting. Everything around me can be turned to be my arts.

Doctor Doom is occasionally a villain, but usually just a nice leader trying to do what's right for his people, and he protects his country from sickness. Iron Man is a billionaire named Tony Stark who was not the best or nicest guy, but turned himself around and became the super hero Iron Man. That is a quick overview of the characters. They inspire me to work hard and be a good person too.

I love the ocean which is what inspires most of my art. Also the same with my family which is why I add them together. I feel like nature, family, music, & friends are what makes me happy - my art is my happy life. I named my piece "Family Evolution" because humans evolved from water! In the art there is a mountain; I was named after a mountain; McKinley. Finally, I included my Ipad because that is how I connect with my world and my art and it has my favorite vinyl album - it mean a lot to me!

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.

My name is Hadar and I am 12 years old. I really love painting with watercolors. This is a small budgie parakeet and he lives in my room. He loves sitting on the mirror and playing his favorite game, and that is what I painted

I am a 5th grade student who enjoys drawing and expressing my feelings through art. I chose to submit this drawing because it is my first realistic eye drawing and because an eye can show emotions without using words. In this piece, I tried to show a mix of feelings like curiosity, nervousness, and hope. This drawing makes me feel proud, and it reminds me that it’s okay to have a lot of different emotions while I’m growing and learning.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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 have a pet named Mr. Sweetie. I was inspired to make this artwork because I want to be an artist when I grow up. I took a class on Outschool called “How to Paint a Rainbow Dream Cat.” I was painting a lot of rainbow dream cats, and I eventually decided I wanted to draw a lot of animals and I chose a bunny for this project. This drawing makes me feel good.

When I was in Japan it really inspired me so I drew it on a piece of paper . Whatever you think of do it.

When I get bored I try to think up creative things to do and try out. I have tried a lot of things that haven't worked and a lot of things that I am really happy with. This one just makes me happy when I look at it.

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.

Thomas is my 13 year old Tuxedo cat. I drew this picture of him.

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.

The inspiration for my artwork is space. Space has always inspired me so when I saw the category for the competition I knew that I had to do space. My artwork makes me happy and I am proud of it.

This painting is called Delicate Arch. I painted it because I went to the real Delicate Arch and I wanted to paint a picture of it. It makes me feel happy and proud every time I look at it.

My name is Sansa L., I got inspired because beluga whales have been my favorite animal ever since!! I love them cause they are called “canaries of the seas” which means they make noises in the ocean!

Ms. Amy inspires us to draw landmarks from all over the world. This week we sketched the Alhambra gateway in Spain, in under 40 minutes. She teaches us techniques to be efficient and draw in our own style. This is my favorite after-school activity. I look forward to it every week!

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.

Hello, my name is Alex Lynn and I drew Modern Italian. I wanted to challenge myself with shading because I have been deliberately ignoring it for a long time. I knew I was taking a risk with shading but I wanted to improve. I used 2B, 4B, and 6B pencil grades to achieve the dark contrasts that make light shades pop out. I faced many problems such as having trouble with proportions for the pedestal. I hope you consider my art in the final vote and that you were inspired by my image.

Hi! I'm Esme and I love drawing hedgehogs, acrylic painting, and paper quilling my own designs. My submission is of my new cousin, Lucy. Lucy has a cute turned-up nose like my aunt does, and I love her so much. I am proud of my drawing of her because I used all of the drawing skills I know: shading, blending, and making the shapes before drawing the details.

I was inspired by the a kingdom that is small, living amongst the trees and mushrooms. This piece makes me both excited and proud to share.

My art piece is inspired by the ocs from the book i am making.

Hello, my name is Heidi. I made this piece because nature inspires me–it’s one of my biggest inspirations! The girl in the dress is me, being inspired by the beautiful world around us! By my house, poppies bloom on the hills around this time, and it’s beautiful. You can see mountains in the distance that are just a perfect backdrop, especially when there are clouds. I think nothing is more inspiring than nature, and that's why I made this piece showcasing that.

I created a self-portrait that shows me brandishing my drawing pen! I wanted to show that my inspiration comes from the act of creating. When I started sketching, the idea came to me really quickly, and that felt like part of the inspiration, too.

This piece is a reflection of how life can seem so good and easy and put together but from the inside it’s hard and complicated. I feel like the soy sauce is like sudden tears in a way. Like how maybe it’s unexpected but happens anyway when you are overflowing with emotions. This piece was a painting my class did and I was really proud of it!

Hello, I’m Ella and this piece was inspired by my family’s trip to The San Diego Museum of Art at Balboa Park in San Diego, California. I found myself drawn to the old still life paintings. Oil painting takes so much time, days to even weeks between layers, and something about going through all the effort to preserve this little moment really drew me in. While I’ve taken a few art classes in more modern styles and mediums, after this trip I picked up oil painting completely self taught.

This piece was made using acrylic paints. These paintings make me feel proud. I was inspired to make this piece because of my love of nature.

Hi my name is Gwen, I really love to draw. I enjoy video games and hanging out with my friends. I was inspired by a video on YouTube that presented a beautiful painting of a forest with butterflies. It looked magical and gave me butterflies. The picture I created made me think, I did put a lot of what I was feeling into it. I don't know if you can see my sadness, but I felt better afterwards.

I like to draw and listen to music and it helps me sometimes get out of reality.

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