My name is Cedar and I love to play, draw, paint, laugh, sing, dance and be helpful. I had so much fun painting and decorating this life size drawing of myself as a super she-ro! I like princesses and being able to help people, so I drew myself as a Princess She-ro. It made me feel strong and free!

This art piece was inspired by one of my favorite stuffed animals, Peanut Butter. My family went to a cow farm where we got to feed adorable highland cows. My favorite cow looked just like the stuffed animal I picked out and named Peanut Butter. I also love sparkles and bright colors. My art has lots of color and sparkle, just like me!

Hi! I like drawing and painting, especially blending lots of colors and experimenting with paint. I was inspired to make this piece by using my imagination to think about a landscape I'd like to explore. I wanted to create something that felt interesting and a little bit magical. Making the circles makes me feel calm, and I like how the colors and shapes came together.

I love how I can express myself through art and how every artist has their own unique style. My favorite art styles are realistic and anime, and I also like inking and working with color. My piece was inspired by the feeling when you see something beautiful, and how it takes your breath away. I wanted it to look like the golden glow of the star was reflected in her face. The piece reminds me of the feeling of awe.

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 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 was re-creating my old art

My mom wanted to see the northern lights but she wasn't able to see them. So I decided I would just paint them for her!

My name is Devon and I love art and crafting. I love to painting with watercolor or drawing with color markers. My favorite times are when I just paint what is on my mind, like this painting of the ocean titled "Birds Flying Into the Sunset".

This is Felix from the K-Pop group Stray Kids. I have been in drawing classes with Outschool for several years now and I love drawing.

I love to draw and I love sports. Volleyball is entertaining and I watched a movie about it.

The reason I made this piece is my love for Pokemon and I wanted a challenge.

I’m 9 years old. I love drawing, swimming and being with my brother. I love art because I can express myself and my ideas flow to the paper! I am inspired by my thoughts, activities and favorites! I love drawing with my Outschool art teacher, Sandra Goodwin!

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.

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.

I am a passionate young artist that enjoys mysterious stories of older times. I enjoy the decor and appeal of castles and the time period in which they were more common. I would love to live in a castle myself one day. This was my inspiration behind my piece.

My name is Jane and I love to draw. My piece was inspired by my new puppy, Maple. The piece makes me feel happy because I love to draw animals and I love my puppy!

Since I love DELTARUNE, I decided to draw a character from one of the game's AUs (alternate universes). I was inspired to draw him because I love his theme song! Scampton is a character from DELTARUNE: Chapter Rewritten. He's a clown who goes insane after being forgotten in a castle dungeon for a long time.

Hello. my name is Gracie Austin and I am 15 years old. My piece pictures a dark abyss that would seem to go on forever, but, in that darkness there is a beautiful sunset, something you would only be able to see it if you took the chance to look over the edge of that abyss. In my picture I used the dove to symbolize the hope/peace within the abyss as its wings reflect the sunset. I was inspired to do this piece because even in dark times there is always hope, if you look close enough. -Thank you.

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 really love both reading and art, so I was inspired to sketch this dragon eye in graphite by the dragon king Kazul from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles (the series was written by Jessica Day George, if anyone is interested 🙂). Kazul is my favorite dragon of all time because she is so witty and clever, and she is a strong female character AND the best friend of the main character in the series. Dragon eyes—especially this one—make me feel calm, centered, and empowered.

I was inspired that spring was coming! Spring makes me feel happy after a long winter. This is the feeling in my painting.

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.

Being autistic, I know stress and anxiety. Social life, school, and more- the list goes on. However, there are always two things I know help me: gaming and art! Taking a moment away and gaming in peace helps me feel calm and relaxed. I put those strong feelings into this animation. I spent a lot of time on this piece! I focused on lines, shapes, color language, and value when drawing. My biggest hope for this piece is that you relate to and/or remember this piece before you go to bed tonight.

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.

My drawing is titled “Time.” It shows a watch my father received from his father and later gave to me. The watch is special because it has been passed down through my family. It reminds me of the strong connection between my grandfather, my dad, and me. When I see it, I think about the special moments we have shared. The watch makes me feel proud and more mature, and it represents our family tradition and the memories we will carry for generations.

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.

My name is Aria. I love creating art. I enjoy sculpting, sketching, painting watercolor and acrylic. Anything from fashion design to nature or even mythical. This flower represents growth and beauty.

My name is Parker (they/them)! I'm an artist who loves cats! Here is some artwork of my "Warriors" original character, named Snapnose (left). This is the kitty I draw the most! He takes after my real life cat, Catisse (right). For Snapnose, I went for a more realistic style, with larger eyes and almost human-ish eyebrows. For Catisse, I went less sketchy and more cat-like. The somewhat realistic style is very good for my art, and I am very proud of it. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi my name is Kharma and creating this piece made me feel loved and funny of energy.

A pickup truck made from LEGO is towing a catamaran, showing my love for fast vehicles on land and water. The small LEGO kid in the black jiu-jitsu uniform is me right now, still learning and working hard. The taller LEGO figure next to him is future me, who has reached all my goals and dreams. It’s like a picture of where I am and where I’m going, all built into one scene.

inspired by my friend

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!

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

My piece is inspired by Mom. She has loved me through everything and she will continue to inspire me throughout my life. The sun, moon, and star represent how a mother’s love is big enough to fill a universe. The tree and roots represent her steadiness and commitment.

I’m Harper. I love to read and art. My favorite colors are pink, green, and yellow. I love butterflies and they have never been in the sea before and I wanted to let her explore a new world. The sea creatures welcome her and are kind to her. It makes me feel happy and proud that she is brave enough to explore somewhere new.

Hi!My name is Alice and I am 6 years old. One day I laid down in the grass and looked up — the flower was SO BIG, bigger than my whole head! I thought: this is what it feels like to be a tiny bug. So magical! I painted the big flower, a bee (bees are flowers' best friends), hearts because nature fills my heart, and a mushroom (little bug houses). LOTS of colours because nature has lots! The world is SO BIG and SO BEAUTIFUL and I'm just a tiny little girl in it. Everyone should look up sometimes.

I'm a 12 year old who loves to draw. I'm inspired by the things I like or find interesting. Lately, I draw a lot of pieces from the ocean such as octopus, jelly fish, and other sea life. I enjoy all kinds of art and I love to practice drawing every day. I hope to learn more. I named this piece "The Underneath" based on where we find octopus. They live deep in the ocean. They are fascinating creatures!

My name is Sophia, my art piece is a collage made with construction paper, scissors and glue. It is a picture of my cat Camella Belly sleeping on my bed, with a big Venus fly trap plant and the full moon in the window. Today is the full moon, and Camella Belly was taking a nap on my bed. She looked so cute! This picture makes me feel happy.

Hi. I'm Ariella. I'm 7 years old. I used some pieces of cardboard box pieces to scrape the paint to make the shape of an owl.

I enjoyed making a piece of art in this style! I've never really tried it before, so it was fun to experiment with.

My birthstone, Ruby, inspired my focus on the color red in this piece. I was interested in how repeating red tones could create visual harmony.

This piece inspires me to go hiking and climbing big boulders and mountains while observing wildlife. I am super energetic with lots of enthusiasm, and I like to do rolls while dodging all of the trees and playing tag with my younger brother as we go on our weekly hikes.

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!

I grew up in a city and I loved the wonder of these sky-reaching monuments with many people all doing their own thing. I also liked seeing how ecosystems function like jungles and oceans. So I based this piece off of the idea of conserving and having industrialization and cities being in harmony and intertwined with the natural world. It makes me feel hopeful for what humanity can do if we'd allow ourselves to function with nature and actually make an effort to conserve the beauty of ecosystems.

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.

I try to be an aspiring artist, but I don't have too much time for it. I pumped this out in less than 5 minutes with all my effort, and I think it inspired me to continue making art.

My name is Cason I’m 10 years old I’ve been drawing for a long time and I’m excited about the art competition

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

My piece was inspired by my love for Squishmellows. It makes me feel happy!

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.

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!

This is a character from Forsaken, a roblox game, and he is my favorite character. I drew him because he has a very easy and simple design! What inspired me was my brother, because he really likes that game and made a drawing of all the characters for our art class, so I thought I'd make one as well of just one character.

Hi, my name is Coraline.This piece is a block print.it was inspired by my trips to Paris and Lisbon. I loved watching the pigeons. They are one of my favorite animals because they are intelligent, cute, silly, and most importantly unique.I gave my pigeon a hat to highlight it being so different among birds so i guess this piece was inspired by differences. They are one of the weirdest birds and I think that makes them infinitely more interesting. This print makes me feel playful and happy.

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.

While drawing, I was feeling I was in the meadow in this art and I am realized I am the future artist.

Hi my is Winter. I wanted to draw this because I really love wolves. I love all types of canines but the wolf is my favorite wild animal. I like how wolves have one leader of the group which is the Alpha. They are the protectors of the pack and help guide them to keep them safe. Painting this makes me feel like I want to paint some more. I love looking at this painting and staring into the wolves eyes. This painting is now hanging in my art room so it can be seen everyday.

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 of art is inspired by a painting I enjoy looking at. I could imagine the fishermen heading out early in the morning hoping to catch a lot of fish and maybe see some whales and the beauty of the ocean. They would return home exhausted but nets filled with fish and their family happy to see them.

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.

I really enjoy art and it makes me happy. This design of art was inspired by a comic I read.

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

Yes, I got pooped on by a bald eagle. It was an experience. And, I have this picture in my room to always remind me of it. It reminds me of how good, or bad, luck I got. I think it's bad, personally, but many others think it's good. I don't know, very weird story.

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

I’m a digital artist, and I love to draw. The ability to create anything I imagine is what draws me to art, no matter how silly or weird it may be. I always look back at what I’ve created, feeling accomplished, motivated to continue with more. This artwork was inspired by my own feelings when I create, and how it allows me to make new, incredible worlds and characters with only the press of a pencil.

So proud of this Clydesdale I drew. I worked very hard and love the perspective of staring at it from below

I'm Anya, and I create art on Procreate and traditional. One of the main items in my life that inspires me and my creative work is nature. Even outside in my neighborhood, I can find inspiration for my art. Something about the fresh air helps me clear my head when I am anxious or too excited that I can’t focus and do my work. The small page curl in the corner and the quotes in the cloud & mountain represents my love of reading. The way that the words dance on the page just fills me with wonder.

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

My name is Adelyn, in this art piece I made a peaceful nature scene because when I draw, nature is always an inspiration to me! This drawing represents the beauty of nature and my for passion for artistic expression through realism.

Anime has really inspired me, and it always makes me happy seeing other people art and styles. I go on Pinterest to see people's wonderful art or read manga to get inspired but something has really been bugging me this past week. I've been feeling kind of bored with my art, so I started a new anime, Jojo's bizarre adventure to be exact! I really feel in love with the art style, so I decided to draw my favorite character. This piece took around 20 hours over the span of a week.

I made this art piece for a homework assignment. It is inspired by the painting "Surprised!" by Rousseau. I love dragons, and so I remade my own version to include them. This art piece, "The Roar of Thunder" changes the focus from the main ground to the background, revealing two dragons. It shows that there is more than one way to make beautiful art.

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.

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.

My name is Lani. I did this piece for Chinese homework, and this artwork made me feel calm.

I really enjoy every aspect of Japanese art and design, from anime to games. It is a dream of mine to become a professional trading card artist when I grow up. This piece reflects that. It is an illustration of one of my original characters, Noodle Dragon, above miso lake, where I imagine he would live.

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 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.

I like to draw. I draw in many different styles. I saw a new art style that was popular on YouTube, so I decided to see if I could do it. I feel some sadness when I look at her.

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

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, my name is Hana! I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, but I picked it up even more as of last year. I made this artwork for my sibling's birthday to depict our view during the concert of K-pop group Seventeen.

Looking at it brings me back to the awesome time I shared with my sibling :)

My name is Roan and I like the Legend of Zelda. I was inspired by a guardian stalker. It makes me feel happy and like my hard work is good. It also makes me feel like I did a really good job.

I am an aspiring digital artist. Nature inspires me. I like to draw sunsets and landscapes. I hope you like this drawing.

I was inspired by the calm beauty of the ocean and the gentle way sea turtles move through the water. I wanted to show a peaceful moment under the sea. Drawing this helped me express how relaxing the ocean feels to me.
