Are you ready for a whole bunch of colorful cute drawings that make you say, “Aww — so cute!” and smile? You’re in luck, because here it is.
First, a bit of background. My name is Lillie, and I’m an artist, mother of two young kids, and teacher who specializes in creating educational cartoons and creative drawings that help people learn and boost happiness through sweet visuals.

What this means is that over the years that I’ve been publishing my work on this website (since early 2020), I’ve amassed quite a collection of cute drawings! In this article, I will share some of the most delightful sketches, and also discuss what makes art cute. There are many benefits of drawing, but also benefits to looking at pleasing art; it lifts up the mood!
At the end of the long list, I’ll ask you which is your favorite image. If you’d like, each of the entries below leads to a longer article, if you’d like to click through and check it out. Or you could just scroll the happy and colorful artwork, and feel good! Why is art important? It feeds the soul!
