My inspiration is the book “Warriors” by Erin Hunter. I this piece makes me feel proud and happy, because I kept trying to get the eyes right and I didn’t give up.

My name is Luca, and I love Poppy Playtime. Some people think it’s scary, but I think it’s exciting and full of mystery. I like figuring out what will happen next and imagining how I would escape. It feels like an adventure in my brain. It makes me feel curious, brave, and proud when I solve things, even if they’re a little scary.

I am a student who enjoys drawing and expressing my feelings through art. This artwork shows a child holding the Earth, which represents my hope for world peace. I was inspired by the idea that even small hands can protect our planet. Creating this piece makes me feel calm and hopeful, and it reminds me to care for others and the world we share.

There was a battle long ago in this scene.

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

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 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.

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!

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 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.

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.

I have a passion for art and I love to motivate people. I made this piece to inspire people who are going through rough times and feel lost. This piece made me feel happy and inspirational!

I am Anusha. I made this drawing because I am looking forward to Spring time and going Easter egg hunt with my friends.

Hello, and my name is Shrika. When I read the theme, “Something that inspires me”, I immediately thought of my recent trip to Spain.The Royal Palace of Madrid, where I saw regal paintings at every corner, felt refreshing to finally see a beautiful, authentic piece of art in these times. Times of Artificial Intelligence everywhere, rotting our minds. This is my “Cure”, finding hope in the past when the future doesn’t seem so bright. Please enjoy this work of Apollo shining his light upon all.

Totally Awesome Outdoor Show, is a YouTube channel about bushcraft, survival and living in the woods, and it really inspires me! My name is Matthew and in this drawing I wanted to show camping on the edge of the woodland. I really feel the warmth of the fire and I'm so happy about it.

My name is Ariella and I enjoy drawing both digitally and traditionally. Anime has been a big part of my inspiration and has really reflected in my style (as you can see). The name for this piece comes from the sword Zoro is holding; The Wado Ichimonji. The sword name literally means "straight line through the path of harmony" and holds a great significance in Zoros life. I was inspired to make this piece because I just started watching the One Piece live action series and its totally awesome!

My aunt lives in Louisiana and drew a pelican. She sent me her drawing and encouraged me to draw my own. I sent my drawing back to her and she appreciated my effort. It was a challenge and fun at the same time.

I'm 8 and I'm homeschooled. I enjoy playing Club Penguin, it's an old game that many people don't play anymore but I really like it. It makes me happy and drawing these characters made me feel proud.

Hello! My name is Ellie. I am so grateful to be in this competition. I love art, especially drawing anime and chibi. I'm less focused on winning and more on showing everyone what I can create!:)(although winning would be great;)) I've been drawing for about a year.

I like to look at old houses and think about the people who have lived in them. It makes me sad to see old houses be demolished. It seems not many people care. I wish I could save all the old houses; thats why drew this old house in the yard it was meant to be in. I hope that you enjoy thinking about who lived in this house. for my drawing I used: acrylic paint, oil pastel, and colored pencil. It took me 4 weeks to complete-i made the house bent and uneven to make it look old but cozy.

I like to draw animals and reptiles. My favorite reptile are snakes. I chose to draw a chameleon because it is a reptile and a unique one. Chameleons make me feel cool because of it’s ability to change colors and blend into its world.

My name is Macie and what inspired me was that I love exploring the outdoors. I love the comfort being outside brings and I decided to draw me looking into Creation and what God has made

For this competition, I chose to draw a tiger. I was inspired by their striking pattern, colour, agility and power. This competition was a perfect time to draw my favourite animal and show how much detail one animal can have. I would love to combine my favourite animal with my passion about art. Drawing this tiger makes me feel proud and excited to show my detail and passion.

My art was inspired by my class.

Hello! My name's Sybil, and I make a bunch of OCs when I'm bored! I played a game called Cookie Run: Kingdom, and there were two new costumes that were in the game which was a playwright and actor. I got inspired by it, and drew some costumes for my two OCs - Pluvia and Tempestade (Tempestade is male). I always got a feeling of calmness and solemness when i look at the art. It does feel relaxing, like a calm dance.

I wanted to make it because I love animals and porcipines are cute. this piece makes me happy

My name is Irene. This drawing was inspired by a photo that was taken of me and my sister when we were little. In this drawing is me and my twin sister playing in the waves. In front are the trunks that we used that we had played with. I chose this drawing because I always admired the ocean’s beauty and calmness. The ocean, when I’m near it, makes me very small and tiny. Whenever I am around the ocean, I feel the waves coming to me and hear nothing but the soft crashing.

I am 14 yrs old and have always loved art and making things. Most times I get an idea in my head or just make it up as I go . I love doing art and how it makes me feel.

I like Anime

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.

I love making costumes and characters, and then drawing them into different outfits and places

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.

My name is Ellie. The Iron Giant is my favorite movie, and I think the character is really interesting. Drawing makes me happy, so I wanted to share my love of both with all of you.

“The Greek God” artwork is a…well an artwork of Eros the Greek god of love, people know him now as Cupid. Plus I am also a fan of Percy Jackson and my love for Greek mythology and Percy Jackson inspired this artwork (I also made this word near Valentine’s Day) I hope my artwork is accepted and appreciated. =)

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.

Hi, I’m Ella, and I drew this chameleon because I love unique animals, especially ones that can change and adapt. I left it without color so we can imagine together what colors it might be changing into. To me, it represents people who have hidden talents. Sometimes you don’t see what someone can do until they choose to share it, especially through art. This reminds me that everyone has something special inside, and when we express it, our true colors shine.

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

I wanted to paint something, and the reference really spoke to me. I went to a painting place to make it. It is a very calming piece.

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!

This makes me feel warm and ready to be outside in the trees.

Hi! I am Rafael and my piece is a mix of all things I love. It's a fantasy world called Owlia, the creature with the big nose is a dragon I created called Pigspikoop, I drew myself on top of a hill with my dog Yogi, an owl (my favorite animal) perched on my shoulder and a creature called Flybei. I'm from Colombia and the bird I drew at the right bottom corner is a type of bird there. I love history and aviation so I drew a castle and planes flying in the background, one on a runway platform.

My name is Zoey I am 13 years old. I have been homeschooled my whole life and I love my warrior cats role playing class on Tuesday nights. Currently Warrior Cats is my favorite series I loved the Power of 3 and that’s what inspired me to create this picture

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

My name is Andrew. I drew the frog because it looks cool and cute. When I see it, it feels like I have a little pet with me.

Hello, my name is Eunice. I’m eleven years old. I painted this using watercolor. I painted this because it showed a great amount of vitality and contrast. The word I thought would match this painting was “reflect”. “Reflect” because the afternoon sun reflects off of the cool water. “Reflect” because you are looking back to a day and reflecting the light, the good, out of it.

This artwork was created by Angeliki with the guidance of her art teacher, Ms. Z, when she was 9 years old. She loves water and exploring nature.

This is my dad's favorite animal and I made this for his birthday.

My artwork is inspired by my grandpa and watching beautiful, colorful sunsets. I always wanted to get to know my grandpa, so in my artwork is me and him walking in a beautiful winter forest, as the sun sets. My grandpa always dressed nicely, and wore a nice old fashion hat. He loved nature and taught my mom how to throw river rocks that skid on lakes. My mom always tells me stories about him, and what he was like. It takes me to a different time and I am happy he was my grandpa.

My piece was inspired by the place I live; so close to the forest. The technique I used was to not lift my pen off the paper.

I had a reference from Pinterest lol

Watercolor is my favorite kind of art. I made this painting because I love my hometown, New York City. New York can feel loud and exciting, but it is also colorful and full of life. I wanted to paint a small scene that reminds me of that feeling. In the middle of my painting there is a lucky cat holding up both paws. Lucky cats are supposed to bring good luck. In my picture, the cat is wishing good luck to the city and the people who live here. I hope people who see my painting feel happy.

I get a lot of inspiration from books and nature, so I featured a girl reading in a beautiful landscape. Create, dream, believe has really helped me go above and beyond in things I love. It really makes me feel proud because I know I worked hard to create it, and that I can create something I love like this. If I ever find myself about to give up, all I'll have to say is create, dream, believe.

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.

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!

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 love all animals

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 is a drawing about drawing, because drawing is what inspires 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.✨

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.

The first thing I notice when I look at something is its color. I’ve been doing art for about a year. I mostly draw people but also enjoy drawing realistic things from a reference. I taught myself how to use Procreate by watching other artists online. I always listen to music when I draw. While I was drawing this, I was listening to “The Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel. The candle makes me feel satisfied at how the light and color blend together to create a realistic image.

Hii!! I'm Bianka and I drew this because I really like Beabadoobees music! Especially "All I did was dream of you". I'm really proud of this piece because I think it does kinda look like Beabadoobee (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

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.

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

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.

As a young child, I was terrified of tornadoes and extreme weather. As I've grown older, I've fallen in love with it instead! I now want to become a meteorologist and storm chaser. I hope to help save lives through accurate weather prediction. And I hope to inspire young people like myself who are terrified of strong storms they can't control. Tornadoes, like the El Reno tornado of May 31, 2013, inspire me to overcome my greatest fears!

The color palette of the sky is all I want to stare at. The way the sky is different each day, yet so beautiful, brings me joy and inspires me to make each of my art pieces unique in its own way.

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!

I take drawing classes on Outschool and I like to draw every day. I really like drawing characters and working on shading. In this drawing, I tried to make the face expressive and added details like the eyes, hair, and hand. I was inspired by characters I like and added my own details. It feels calm and a little mysterious, like she is thinking something but not saying it.

My name is Kinley and I am 14 years old. I have always loved drawing but especially now because I have been taking out school classes with professor Sanya for the last year and I have improved SO much. I love her drawing classes and look forward to them every week. This piece made me feel really happy because it reminds me of the beauty of nature.

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 have been drawing Aimi since 2025. There’s not much lore to her - she is a 16 year old girl who likes cutecore. I do drawing and digital art and enjoy making OCs.

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!

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.

When i grow up i want to build robots so i decided to design one that i will build later on. I am also very happy with it and the work i put in to do it.

What inspired me to make this art is my love and creativity to make characters, so since I love creating characters I have drew one of mine. To express my love, this character has lore, it has an explanation to this piece of art.

Hi! My name is Oliver, and recently I've been super fixated on the game Undertale so I decided to draw my favorite character from it, Mettaton! This drawing was my first attempt at doing vibrant/shiny rendering and I am very proud at how I did. Undertale as a game is super comforting to me as the story is so compelling and easy to come back to. The fact my art has now reached the level of being able to portray one of my favorite characters *ever* makes my heart so happy. Thank you for reading 🖤

I was inspired by my interest in coral reefs. I love drawing different types of coral and then adding in other creatures. My piece makes me feel in awe of the coral reef habitat.

When I made this artwork, I felt deeply connected with the inspiration flow between my reality and fantasies. Art is the one thing fulfilling the gap between what’s real and what’s not - this artwork describes my gap between fiction and reality.

Me my brother and our friend had a craving to do legos and we worked on this build for about a week. We all agreed this is the best Lego build we’ve ever made. And worked very hard on it because there was a big storm and we couldn’t go outside.

My name is Matea. I am in 5th grade and live in Minnesota. I am a professional actor and I am bilingual. In addition to acting, I love singing and painting. I think cactuses are a delightful part of nature. We don't have any where I live, so when I get to see them in person, I feel cheerful and terrific.

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.

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 .

my name is Elliot. i like space, it inspires me so i desided to make a space animation

Hello! My name is Arberleah but most people call me Leah. I live in a small town and have been homeschooled my whole life, so I have always had lots of time to explore my passions. What I am most passionate about is my art. Recently I have been getting back into reading and exploring fictional worlds once again, and now images come to me so vividly as i read, I just have to get them out of my head and onto canvas. I hope my art can remind everyone to never stop looking for inspiration.

Hi my name is Valentina and I love drawing and sewing.I also love bows and bedazzling things so I had to put it in my art piece!! I was inspired by my fashion design class. We did runway fashion this week. It makes me feel happy and joyful!! I hope you love it.🩷🎀
