This drawing is an expression of what I call Incomplete Digital Art — a way for children to express themselves without being consumed by the digital world. I have created it today 
A child holding a tablet, staring down at the screen with sadness.
He says:
"Mom... everyone on TikTok looks happy."
And below, in shaky handwriting:
"Why am I not smiling?"
On the other side of the frame, a smiling adult responds:
"You want a memory you’ll never forget?
Come help me mix the colors."
This is not just a drawing. It’s a conversation that’s already happening silently in many homes.
A conversation between what children feel and what they actually need.
✨ In a world of filters and constant scrolling, the deepest question remains unspoken:
“Where do I belong when I don’t feel enough?”
🎨 The answer isn’t always digital. Sometimes it’s made of paint, mess, movement and a real connection.
🧡 Let’s teach children not just to watch others live — but to live their own story.
Because real smiles aren’t uploaded — they’re experienced.
