hello!
About Max
Max is a young artist with a big imagination. He loves creating worlds, characters, stories, and colourful ideas through his artwork. Made by Max is his personal gallery — a place to share his creativity, build confidence, and explore what it means to be an artist.
Meet Max
Max is ten years old and spends most of his free time on his iPad in Procreate. When he's not drawing, he's usually inventing characters, dreaming up new worlds, or telling someone about his next big idea.
He's been drawing since before he could write his name, and his Procreate gallery keeps getting bigger every week.

His creative process

Get an idea (often at the worst possible time).
- 2
Sketch it fast, before it disappears.
- 3
Add colour, characters, and a story.
- 4
Show somebody. Usually his dad first.

Why we made this
Max draws constantly, and his Procreate gallery kept growing. We built this site so his work has a real home — a place to look back, share with family, and remind him that being an artist isn't something you become later. It's something you already are when you decide to make something. Thanks for stopping by.
