I've already noticed that the readers of Bored Panda are talented and creative people with a lot of hobbies and passions. With that in mind, I decided to create a challenge where I asked our community to share the best artwork they've done. It could be anything painted, drawn, etc. on paper.
I was happy to see a lot of pandas responded to the challenge! From a honey bee to a self-portrait, here are the best submissions the post received!
