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.

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 like drawing animals and one of my favorites is a sloth. It makes me feel happy that my sloth looks cute and it shows my passion for animals.

Hello! I am a young artist who likes to draw digitally, traditionally, and I also create animations! This piece was for my godfather; showing all the fun times we had together in our little group of me, my brother, my friend, and my friend’s brother (the gang:).

I love to make my characters bright and colorful. Cinnamoroll is one of my favorite characters ever. When we drew this piece in class, I thought that I should combine the two things I love which is color and cinnamoroll which made this art piece one of my favorites! I love anime so I like to make up my own character with their own unique outfit and hairstyle, their emotion and just making it super unique with my sense. I love to draw so I hope I win this art competition!!

Hi! My name is Keegan. I love to read, write, and draw, and I thought that as a artist it would be fun to submit one of my drawings in this contest. The one I chose is a picture of the main character of a book I'm going to write, Dawn, climbing out of an underground city that was not treating her well. I think it is inspiring of her to do that, instead of just staying there. Thank you for reading about my drawing!

Good day to you. My name is Adaire Renee and I've alway been fascinated with painting and literature. This painting is inspired by the book, "Bridge of Clay" written by Markus Zusak. Hence the name of the painting. The book is strongly recommended though there is some crude language. I hope you like them both.

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!

My name is Bella. And what inspired my art is a painting I did when I took a break from my drawing. I blended a bunch of colors together and that was my idea for the background . Then I painted a HUMMING BIRD because they are my second favorite birds . My art makes me feel calm because the flowers and the backGround colors are beautiful to me. I hope you judges like it too!

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 love all types of art! This piece was inspired by comic book art and pop art. The colors really make me smile and I hope they have the same effect for my audience.

I love making art and using bright colors. My artwork shows a sweet birthday celebration with a piece of cake that looks like ice cream. I was inspired by birthdays, celebrations, and sweet treats. I used bright colors and sprinkles to make it feel fun and exciting, like a party. The candle represents making a wish. This artwork makes me feel happy, excited, and remembering special moments.

I love painting, especially with watercolor. My family went on a trip to Japan, and I got to see the beautiful buildings and landscape of the place which inspired me, and I really liked Mount Fuji and the pagodas, both of which I decided to add to my picture. It feels peaceful to look at, since you feel like you are there with the lady in the pink flower kimono, watching her make ripples in the water.

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.

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.

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.

This is my imaginary friend I designed.

Seeing a astonishing blue morpho butterfly inspired me, it makes me feel confident because with all the struggles we face, we can always spread our wings and fly.

My name is Bronwyn and I am an aspiring concept artist. This art piece was inspired by J.C. Leyendecker’s work and other illustrative artists.

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.

This piece came straight from my heart and it makes me feel sad for the kids that don't know when earthquakes come and they are just trying play at the park.

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.

Hello I made my dragon by hand. I used my imagination to design Fluffy and it is a dragon puppet. I spent 3 hours on her and I am really proud of it. What makes it special is that I made it with my imagination. I was inspired by foxes and they're big ears. I control it with a base. I used paper, glue, tape, markers, and hot glue. Fluffy is a really nice bubbly and comforting dragon. ❤️❤️❤️

This art piece was inspired by a weeping willow and represents loneliness. I created it late at night and had soo much fun bringing her to life. Now she hangs in my stairway and depending on the day, the characters expression seems to change. Sometimes she appears peaceful; others she seems much more sad.

I’ve always loved cheetahs, so i decided this would be a perfect thing to draw and I’m very proud of how it turned out

I love cats because they are so bossy and royal.

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 love the show and he is my favorite character.

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.

It reminds me of my handheld I got and it makes me happy, the characters in the piece is from the handheld

Sonic is my favorite character. He is so fast and I love drawing him.

Hi! My name is Brooke and I love anime, manga, drawing, creating stories, and Jesus! It's hard to explain my inspiration for this art piece, but I will try. Basically my character Aiko Atsumari (the subject of my drawing) is looking back at the past, both the good and the bad, which is signified by the direction of the lighting and darkness in the art piece.

i got inspiration from a game i played with a flower character. This character’s name is Tulip! She is delivering flowers (which are also tulips) to one of her friends. I made the texture with pencil shavings and glue. I used stop motion animation for this!

I love animals and art so drawing animals is one of my favorite things to do.

My name is Brailee. I love dancing, being crafty, and anything to do with marine life. I want to become a marine biologist one day! This art was inspired by a dragon puppet that I learned to make.

My artwork is called “Circle of Leaves.” I painted it on a real plate and divided the circle into eight sections. Three sections represent the seasons that have leaves: spring, summer, and fall. The other five sections show leaves in different colors such as purple, orange, yellow, red, and green. I used contrasting colors in the background to make the leaves stand out. Leaves are beautiful and colorful, and they make me feel calm and 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 have been using watercolor paints since the fall. What inspired me was that I love drawing and painting eyes. I had recently read a book about a cat, so I mixed the two together and came up with a cat eye painting. This piece makes me feel curious.

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.

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.

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

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<)/

In my drawing there is a young girl finding her peace through meditation, by sitting in a serene environment surrounded by nature. This inspires me because whenever I meditate, I feel eternal peace washing over me, and I feel like I can forgive any unkind action that anyone has ever done to me. I think the art of meditation is a beautiful thing that inspires me deeply. The first time I meditated I felt changed completely, and for the better. This drawing resembles how I feel when meditating.

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.

My name is Michele and I have always loved Tim Burton films, including the one and only "Alice in Wonderland" remake. My inspiration was the world of Tim Burton. I have always been a fan starting with The Nightmare Before Christmas when I was little. I wanted to bring a favorite character of mine to life. This artwork makes me feel proud and happy because I put my best effort into it. The Mad Hatter is my favorite character because he is funny and I love his colorful design.

I created this new drawing because l felt like doing something scary. I like scary things. This kind of bird is called an Oib, which is species I made up. I hope you like this drawing l made, and don’t get scared.

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 draw and paint, I am 7 yrs old and want to be an artist when I grow up.

"Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." That quote by Winston Churchill really shows you that even though change can be hard, failure can bring you freedom, and freedom can bring you new opportunities.

I have always been fascinated by dinosaurs and could never wrap my mind around the fact that these creatures were Earth's first inhabitants. Although they are gone now, their presence is something recognized by all, even 65 million years later. As such, my picture shows a T-rex, the epitome of the dinosaurs. It captures the bold and fierce nature this creature once had, roaming through the jungle with an intimidating aura. This drawing reminds me to always be confident, no matter the challenge.

I am a homeschool student. I like all forms of art from drawing, painting, sketching, acting, etc. I was inspired by the play Winnie the Pooh that I am playing Kanga in.

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.

It inspires me to be courageous and THINK BIG!!!

It’s a butterfly mask. The feathers help it fly and the jewels and patterns make it pretty.

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.

Now over two years I have been enjoying and learning animal drawing lessons on Outschool with Michelle Yother. Drawing animals is cute and a lot of fun!

Dragons are my favorite mystical beast. My ice dragon makes me feel strong and powerful. It inspires empowerment.

My name is Mila and I'm 12 years old. I love art, and this piece is inspired by the YA novel I'm currently writing. The two girls have yet to meet in real life, but feel a pull toward each other.

I really like drawing and listening to music, so I wanted to make a picture that shows both at the same time. I got the idea because sometimes when I’m outside, the wind and the trees sound like a song, and it makes me feel calm and happy. It’s like nature is making its own music. I also see butterflies and birds in my backyard and all the flowers blooming. I hope when people see it, they feel calm too and maybe think about the sounds around them in a new way.

I love being a Girl Scout, baking/cooking, making friends, nature and drawing. What inspired me to sketch this was the beauty of human life and how it’s important to have nature on your shoulders and the treasures it brings to our lives. When I was looking through photographs of people and decided to work my first hyperrealism piece this one made me feel warmth and happiness within my soul. It reminds me of nature and autumn, like I am walking through an Aspen forest.

Before I started HIP HOP I was shy and not always willing to try new things. But now that I am doing HIP HOP, I am confident and more brave. Hip Hop makes you flow lets you know you can do it Hip Hop is a vibe you can't hide it's inside you Just give it a try! Try it,Try it, Try it -Come On! (written to the beat of "I Can Make Ya" by Fingazz)

This warrior makes me feel confident and safe because he will protect me.

I love finding the small details in people that set them apart from others. I especially love how people use their uniqueness and feelings to make a difference in the world. To make life and joy. I felt that "Eyes of the World" by the Grateful Dead portrayed that same spirit and that is what inspired my drawing.

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.

This is my current DnD character, shes a kitsune and a rogue with the pirate background, and shes inspired by Foxy from Five nights at Freddy's

My name is Izzy. I have two pet bunnies. I like to play outside and ride my bike. I drew my picture for my Outschool animal drawing class. I chose a clown fish because i thought it would be interesting to do its patterns. Also, I know they have bright colors and I wanted to see what it looked like with shading instead of colors. I feel happy and accomplished with how my drawing came out!

I was inspired in my art class. Using oil pastels and watercolor, I chose to create a stag because they look strong and majestic. I enjoy experimenting with color.
