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 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 name is Alex.

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

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.

Hi my name is eli i like drawing charcters from shows and games.

I am inspired by nature and feel most at peace when doing art. Nature and art make me feel like I belong in a world that can sometimes feel lonely.

I'm Luka, a great painter and my best artwork is painting by making splashes of colors together. The cracks and waves of this painting makes me feel like I'm looking at the water. My favorite type of art is abstract, and this is one of my favorite and best abstract paintings.

Minty has been my OC for a long time, but now that I'm older I decided to give her a redesign to match her energy. She mirrors me in a lot of ways (style, personality, etc.). She's playful, energetic, and loves tacos.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I got into art a few years ago. I tried out different styles, and I found I enjoyed fantasy drawings. My inspiration for this drawing was to make people feel as if they were in a fantasy world. The dragon I drew, the colors I used, and my background all conveyed a world of myths. It made me feel imaginative, creative, and proud of my work. I hope to create more pieces like this.

My name is Hayley, I am twelve years old and I love my mom. Me and my mom love to travel, and draw, and bake I made this drawing for her because it reminds me of watching the sunrise every morning, and all of our plane trips everywhere I hope (wink wink) you like my art! Thank you!

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! I'm Eleanor. This piece of art was inspired by my little sisters because they like to be adventurous and I feel like one can be the sunshine and one can be the water in the ocean. It makes me feel happy because I feel like the sun represents hope and love, and the water symbolizes freedom and movement like my little sisters. I hope it makes other people feel happy too because I feel like the art stands for friendship because there's two people hanging out together, and anything is possible.

My name is Wolf and for the last few months I’ve been learning how to draw more realism art. When I was able to capture the style that I enjoyed, I transferred it digitally. This piece represents my growth as an artist. A long time ago, if you asked me to draw something realistic, I would have said no. Now I challenge myself and embrace new styles.

I enjoy taking the architecture classes. I have learned a lot about line work and landscapes around the world.

Hello! I love creating digital art on my iPad. I specifically love drawing people and or animals. What inspired my piece was lotus flowers, which you can find on the outside of the drawing. They're one of my favourite flowers, and I love drawing them. I wanted to create an art piece where I could draw a whole bunch of them! I love how colorful the drawing is; it makes me feel happy. I just love looking at it!

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.

I have always been creative and drawn to painting and sketching. This piece is acrylic on canvas and I hope it envokes the feeling of how there is always light somewhere in the darkness.

I was inspired by a mountain goat. It makes me feel happy

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.

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

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 Kaylee and I love to read, draw and be in nature. I chose to draw this because I get a lot of inspiration for writing books when I read.

I like waterfalls and I wanted to draw something fun.

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

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 am 11 years old and I enjoy photography. My mom says I have a good photography eye and see things in pictures to catch certain moments.

I crochet the tree leaves with yarn and used clay for the tree and painted it with colors that give a magical feeling. I used hot glue to attach things and make vines around the tree. I used gems and minerals also for the same reason and they come from the earth. Nature inspires me and trees support all life on planet Earth. I am inspired to take care of plants and make sure life is balanced. The art makes me feel happy because of the magical feeling.

Hello, my name is Sophie, and this is my art piece for the Outschool art contest! Something that inspires me, is other artists, like my Mom, artist that have entered into the contest (all of the art on here is AMAZING) and just artists everywhere! I think it’s really cool to see how people draw and how their art style is different then others.

This is the original version of Godzilla. During his first appearance in 1954 he was black and white, so I decided that using his original colors would keep a faithful design to his debut appearance, and would also feel original for today's standards. Without his first appearance and that original idea of him the franchise of Godzilla would have never started in the first place, so choosing this design is meant to give respect to the first model that ever came out.

My name is Amaya, and I LOVE doing art. This piece I have drawn was very fun. It makes me feel happy and proud. If I get the money I’ll split it with my brother and best friends. This piece was made by cutting out daffodils on paper and pasting it on the drawing made with pencil and marker. And to get the cloth effect I put a placemat under the paper and rubbed it with crayon. To get this opportunity to compete in this contest was amazing. Thank you,-Amaya.

I am a passionate young artist who loves animation and traditional art. My piece was inspired by my daily life. At the center are my adorable pugs, Mochi and Morita, my biggest inspiration. The floating icons represent my artistic world—making videos, drawing, and animating. Looking at this drawing makes me feel proud and peaceful. It reminds me that art is my safe space. Creating this makes me feel incredibly free and joyful because it shows the world exactly who I am inside.

I'm Zuwena, and I really like old cartoons. I made this piece inspired by one of my favorites, Mysterious Mose, because it got into the public domain recently. Also I just wanted to depict how loving and being loved in return chases away all negative and mean things people might say about you.

I am Bree! I made this piece to show the coming of spring. I drew this to show how wonderful spring is and I added the steps of my drawing for how it turned into this painting. Thank You!

My name is Chloe and I was inspired by my favorite video game, Monster Hunter. The piece I drew makes me feel fierce and strong, ready to take on any battle that comes my way.

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.

I admire artists who experiment with color, especially Mary Blair, who uses colors that don't always match real life but make you feel a certain way. In this piece, I transform NYC’s busy gray streets into a dreamlike, storybook scene. My goal is to make an overwhelming place feel playful and magical. Inspired by Blair’s concept art, I highlight NYC’s diversity—a patchwork of cultures and people—using geometric shapes and bright colors to show a unified, vibrant rhythm.

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.

Hi! My name is Sami and I am 16 yrs old. I want to be a fashion designer when I'm older, so I decided to do a fashion inspired piece. From left to right the different era's are: Ancient Greece, Renaissance, Victorian, 1950's and Modern Day. Ancient Greece is an extra special era to me as I love Greek Mythology. My picture shows the ladies holding hands to represent the various era's of fashion history that designers still draw upon today.

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.

It makes me feel happy because it’s really silly. And I’m silly

I live in Alaska I love animals, horses are my favorite animal. I have 2 pet parakeets, 2 pet cats, and 3 pet goats. I painted this piece in my watercolor class. I have never been very confident in drawing/painting people, this is one of the first paintings I have done of a person and I am very proud of how it turned out.

I drew this because I am excited for the new Super Mario movie to come out.

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!

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.

My name is Sercie, and I love capturing people and their expressions in my art. I have five siblings (three biological), so I’m always surrounded by different personalities that inspire my drawings. I did my entire kindergarten year on Outschool, and my teacher Shelby is still in my life today. Art is my escape and a way to express myself. I created this piece on my tablet using a digital pencil and focused on giving the character a playful, confident personality.

Copper's eyes are the focal point of the piece, nailing them was my inspiration. The drawing makes me feel accomplished and capable as an artist and excited to grow in the skill.

My name is Isabella and I like to draw. When I am not doing art, I like to play piano and write. My piece "The Fall Garden" is about the garden in fall. I like the fall colors. It makes me feel warm.

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.

I’ve always loved art as long as I can remember, but the aspect I love most about it is how a person can imagine what it is. I hope that is what this piece represents to you. This was also a way for me to express different art styles that I admire. My portfolio is primarily all gaming related, and this is my first attempt at drawing...well...myself. I hope you enjoy it!

This art is a mix of watercolor, collage, and pencil drawings. It is inspired by my best friend.

I like to draw cats. I drew this for my brother's birthday. It started as a normal cat, but got inspired to add wings. I like that this cat is creative and unusual.

I've liked drawing for as long as I can remember. My favorite drawing style is with pencils, and I love drawing animals. I really like this drawing; I think it turned out to be a really cute dragon.

I was inspired by all of the media coverage on dyes and chemicals in our food. It’s a serious topic but I decided to present a message about how I don’t like all of the added unnecessary chemicals by use of satire.

I wanted to test my skills and see if i could draw one of my favorite characters. I was very happy to see how it turned out.

Hi, my name is Dmitri. My grandpa taught me how to do stained glass several years ago. I love marine biology and anything having to do with oceans. I have a friend who has a salt water aquarium and her angelfish was born without a tail. I created my very own pattern for this stained glass window. It was a lot of fun to work on and have to learn where my glass points needed to be.

Hello, I'm Grace! This piece is inspired by (and is of) Splatoon, a game by Nintendo. The character pictured has fought their way up through an underground base, seeing the outside world for the first time after losing their memory from being in said base. It is inspiring to me since after all their hard work, they got the thing they wanted most: reaching the surface.

Hi, my name is Tatiana. I made this painting for my brother who is about to graduate high school. A big part of our summers is a sailing camp on the Neuse River. I made it in hopes it would remind him of our time together when he went away to college.

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.

My name is Maeva, I've been drawing realistic and cartoon since I was very young. My personal favorite style of drawing is anime; it's opened up such a massive world for me and lets me be inspired everyday by the wonders found in the small details. I decided to draw this picture with one of my favorite shows in mind, I hope to make my own series and one day be able to include this scene I have created, I hope this brings you as much joy as it brought me, to make and present to you.

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.

This picture was inspired by the endlessness of space. It amazes me how much we’ve explored, yet there is still so much we don’t understand or know about it.

I just moved to a new house and there is a horse across the street that has become my new best friend. He comes to the fence to greet me and I love to feed him carrots and he loves to see me everyday. He loves when I pet him and cuddle his nose and I actually love it too just as much as he does.

I’m a young artist who’s been drawing digitally for the past nine years. I’ve always had a sort of fascination with cities and the mystical appeal they have at night. The idea of so many different people of varying origins having so many different experiences all in one place always appealed to me. The serenity that a night cityscape offers is what inspired me to create this piece and I sought to capture the sort of contemplative, deeply soothed atmosphere that only a glowing city can provide.

Hi! I'm Samantha and I have been doing art as long as I can remember, and I have always loved it! My piece is a surprising friendship between a yellow Labrador and a Mallard duck along a pond with a beautiful mountain setting. I love this piece because it reminds me of my favorite animals along with my favorite setting, mountains. My love of the outdoors and animals is also what inspired this piece.

Well I really like Donuts! I thought this would be very funny, and creative. Who doesn't want the last Donut?!

I came up with this piece on my own. I saw him in my head and I knew how I wanted Kai to look. I created him for an online role playing class. I drew him with one of his antlers broken because when I first introduced Kai he had run into a wall out of confusion. I call this piece “Liquid Prayers” because words cannot always relay how you feel, and sometimes you just got to let the tears fall and let people see that you feel. When I look at kai in this piece I feel like giving him a big hug.

My name is Caroline. My artwork is inspired by NASA’s female astronauts who have helped expand human exploration of space. Their courage inspire me to dream about the future, to become an astronaut and explore outer space, to help humanity better understand the universe. The red and white koi (fish flowing around the astronaut’s helmet ) are known for swimming upstream, representing humanity’s determination to overcome challenges and push beyond limits even when faced with uncertainty.

I love to make different art work. I have dyslexia, and art helps me express myself or my thoughts with no words. I painted this because teachers forget that even though I struggle with my writing, I do know how to express myself. People who are different feel lost in the shadows. My artwork makes me feel happy because I know that in the end I am bright. That is why I draw my star, and my face.

I love to tell stories. I wanted to tell a story of my own in my picture and so I did. My picture is a story about a little mermaid, unicorn, and flying cat. They all are different and all have their own story but all of their stories are a story of my own.

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 enjoy exploring the outdoors, climbing trees, writing stories and drawing mystical pictures. I got my inspiration from a chapter in one of my stories I have written. Where the mother dragon leaves her babies in the protection of the tree of life. When she needs to go defend her territory. When I look at my picture I am proud of myself for bring my imagination to life and being able to hold it in my hands.

My name is Zayra. I have never gone camping before. So my dream is to go camping. This art makes me feel joyful.

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