Kids' Sketches

I thoroughly enjoy viewing childrens' drawings, so I decided to showcase a few young artists' sketches. I feel like we adults have a lot to learn from a child; especially the freedom of expression. Most children have no inhibitions when they create!

The young artist John Woolley is a fourth grader who keeps an elaborate journal and creates some fascinating drawings and paintings.

Another young artist, Maya drew this for her mother. She is also quite talented. I really enjoy the repetition of the shapes on the owl's body.

Malcom is one other amazingly talented young artist who was six when he created this drawing. I really enjoyed seeing the layered dinosaurs in this sketch. Click here to view all of his artwork.

One more young artist that I need to mention is a five-year old girl, Sophia. I had her over one afternoon while I lived in Boston, and she created quite the gallery in my apartment.


This is merely an example of a few talented young individuals we should be watching as they continue creating amazing art.

Thanks for this post -- I showed Malcolm and he was quite honored! He loves to draw and gets a lot of inspiration from other artists on Flickr.
