Newbie Artist Training Grounds: Day 4




calamari saved my life edition. Did you know I actually got to read things today? I even played some video games! Don't think for a second I would have given up if we hadn't found an alternate route, but after yesterday's low point I think I needed this helping hoof more than I realized. And you guys certainly provided a great stress test for the program today! I'm counting 286 Great and Powerful ponies. A lot more Trollestia than I would have expected, but hey. They don't call her the bestia for nothing.

Here's your nightly reminder to send the next day's images in through this new super awesome program, explained here. If for some reason you just can't get it to work, don't worry about it and just e-mail it instead. I can handle a couple of extra manual uploads on the end easy peasy.

The Theme of the Day

Draw a pony eating fruit. These are art lessons, and this is your obligatory foray into still lifes, except that there are also ponies. Or maybe I just need an excuse to explain why the phrase "Two dollar whole banana" is hilarious. That will make sense tomorrow, I promise.





On a personal note, I wanted to say thank you to everypony who sent along their well wishes along with their submissions. I even had a couple of people e-mail me for no other reason than to tell me thank you and offer their condolences after the death of my cat yesterday. I'm still having some difficulties with that, but I am feeling infinitely better than I was 24 hours ago, due in no small part to all of you. Stay awesome, bronies. Oh, and on a slightly more upbeat note - I keep getting messages as a result of this event addressing me with, "Dear Princess Phoe". And every time I see it I giggle and clap like a six year old girl who just found out she's being taken out for ice cream. This is what you do to me. And I think that's enough embarrassing revelations for now. The Show Must Go On!

I love this thread so much.

Avohkah Tamer said...

YESSS, my picture FINALLY got put on a post! I should really get out of my habit of submitting literally last-second... I'm #269 (currently the last image)

DiZaster321 said...

A lot of good ones today! I'm impressed everypony!
Number 153 is gross though... Since it's mine!

TopoCruz said...

#181 ! :D

This whole project is fun.

Thunderthorn said...

#259, I'd almost forgotten to draw one today when I looked at the clock and saw I had less than an hour to submit.

VeoBandit said...

Everyone who made Big Mac dress up in a girly purple cloak is my favorite!

#100 today!!!

this makes my OCD very happy!!!

Anonymous said...

Holy crap, how is it 2 AM where I live already. I swear to Celestia it was just 1. Also, mine is 103, yay~

Anonymous said...

@DiZaster321

I beg to differ that one is my favorite

Sethisto said...

I love you too #153

Anyway extracted 6 of them for the drawfriend post tomorrow, assuming it's tomorrow.

I hope that is alright with everyone, but these are definitely full fledged drawfriend stuff images.

Anonymous said...

120 is very impressive.

HeatWave said...

#210! A nice, round number. I really need to learn how to use a scanner though. I also need a descent photo-manipulation software program so I can do a little more with it.

Snips and Snails have taken their fanboyism a little too far, methinks.

Rydel said...

So many amusing pictures!

BronyQuest said...

Darnit, why do my pictures always look infinitely worse after I know other people have seen them!? Maybe I should spend more than 20 minutes and make them more presentable... Like 71 and 130, I was going to draw Derpy with Trixie's hat on her rump, but I couldn't resist G&PLuna.
And 196 is far and ahead my favourite. Not to say that the others aren't great(and powerful) too, though!

Anonymous said...

Whooo, #70!

MasterofRoku said...

#215, yes!

I wish I had used that pink color pencil I had so the pink in Sweetie's tail would show.
Other then that, not a bad drawing.

Milk said...

Oh~ #9
I was 2 pics too late to hit my favorite number!
I'm not too pleased with how my pic came out this time.
I'll have to try at least 20% harder this time!
Wonderful work, as always everyone!

So many people drew The Great and Powerful Sweetie Belle, and I love you all for it.

DJ Rainbow Dash said...

There are a lot of duplicates going on. Bug in the script?

Loving how I'm not the only one who did a "Trixie cutie mark doodle taped to the flank" idea. <3~

Phoe said...

@Muffinsforever

Jeez, give me a couple of minutes to tie up the loose ends before feeling sad, ok? You're in there, I promise!

Zee said...

hmm, dont think my drawing made it up tere for some reason

8ftmetalhead said...

Woo second time in with a pic, and already improving. Although I haven't watched the trixie episode in months. Probably should, but maybe after this assignment tomorrow, and the two tests the days after that, and the exams during the two weeks after that. Hah.
I'll still draw something though. I shall force it of myself tonight. (not that it's a chore. You get into it, use a pic or pony figure as a guide if you get stuck, et voila, you're enjoying learning to draw ponies!

Anonymous said...

#270
I bought a new camera this weekend so i decided try a hand drawing. I spent 2 hours at it but the camera battery ended before i could upload it -.-
I was 1 hour away from the deadline and had rush to make it in flash, but i ended messing up with imageshack and submited the thumbnail.
Well, i hope i'm luckier the next time.

Muffinsforever said...

@Phoe

Sorry I'm hyper right now, just drank 2 Mt. Dews and an energy drink.

Thanks Phoe :P

#277. Lyra is awesome XD

I wonder what fruit I will draw...

Oh I know One Piece crossover TIME!

Too bad for you :P

Prozzak said...

ha ha alright here's your trixie post Seth you can go to bed now

I see I wasn't the only one who thought of Derpy! I just wish I had more time to work on mine (there was going to be a muffin themed hat and cape and she was going to be conjuring a muffin and stuff...)
Oh well! Props to 251, 235, 227, 226, 202, 184, 157, 138, 127, 91, 90, 41, 38, 21, 20, 16, 9, 7
But yea these were all pretty awesome! Nice work everyone!

Kentora said...

Awesome job once again, everypony! All of these are wonderful. :)

Taco Bandit said...

Whoa! This event never cease to amazes me, many great artists. Great job everypony! Now onto the next one :3

Duskfly said...

@Avohkah Tamer

You're not the only one who couldn't fit/too lazy to drawn in Trixie.

#263 is mine by the way.

My art fails. Was trying to add color to it but I didn't have the time.... and didn't have the time to remove my drawing strokes. Kinda embarrassing to show.

Kooldude said...

#84 is me! Yay! I finally got on. Wow there are so many great ones! I laughed at all the Big Macintosh one, good job everypony!

I'm getting SO MUCH behind :( damn you final exams!!!!

@Sethisto I think it is a great idea to put some of these in the Drawfiend posts, if someone sees their image get featured it will really make them feel good about themselves.

I think at some point Drawfriend should just have a Training Ground Section. Might as well.

Also, 202 here, finally in color and apparently fabulous. Yay?

Tonight is the night I make wishes come true.

Now it's 3:30 AM again. Phoe needs her rest.

This is the timeline wherein The Great and Powerful Trixie was the element of Generosity -- generously sharing her greatness and power with the world. But then the Dr. came along and set things right.

Niccole said...

I sketched, but didn't make the submission time. Here's hoping for tomorrow.... I see I'm not the only one who thought of sweetie belle. It's interesting to see all the interpretations.

Duskfly said...

Great event. Things like these make drawing enjoyable.

Now to work on the next theme.

*figures out which fruit to use and wonders how many different fruits will be used*

Evergreen II said...

196 - Prisma Pencil:
was hilarious! hahaha this made my day.

231 - Alipes:
that's some awesome pencil colouring!! man, I wish I could colour in like that.

256 - TapeDiggity:
8-bit glory. you have all of it.

Overall, this training day seems to have really inspired everyone!

Zephire said...

104 tonight. I just wish I had had more time to fix and polish it. But it was either get it done before work or not at all. Oh well =/

But another day, another mountain of cool art. Keep up the good work, everypony!

Anonymous said...

Swell work everypony! I even saw Acoustic Brony contributing as well!

Basharoonskis said...

Ah snap, couldn't enter this one, I spent most of the day doing projects and drawing Herpy Dooves (That is her name, I'm so original)

Anonymous said...

#51 here and everybody's picture is awesome :3

Aeiou said...

Wow these galleries are growing I love all the ideas! All this... delicious.. OC. It fills me.

I think #208 is my favorite, because it reminds me of the Trixie/Snails Normal story It's Not Where You Go.

FoxOfWar said...

#42 ish moi. It's a good number for what every self-respecting nerd considers "obvious reasons."

Also, I was surprised not that many did Rarity. At least for me, her commenting on Trixie's outfit was the first thing to come to mind. So I guess this kudos @ #56(Lorina) for being the "great mind to think alike" with me ;)

Actually, I think I know "why" in hindsight - Rarity's hair is easily the hardest of 'em to draw even semi-correctly. Not everyone is as silly as me as to try to go with that.

Nullh said...

I screwed up and managed to get myself on their twice as 30 and 34. Sorry folks :/
My favourites: 41, 56, 85, 116, 157, 168, 196, 226
Loving this so far, you folks are awesome!
Now, off to banish the nightmarish vision of how horrifying I managed to make Scootaloo's eyes.

Thattagen said...

@Phoe

Yay! Phoe is the best pony!

#285! Hooray for effects brushes! If I had to draw all the stars, I would have been waaaay late. But I accidentally a typo, and her tail.


That's a manifestation of Trixie's ego. It's huge, but entirely harmless, probably. Originally, I was gonna have her acting nonchalant while being attacked by a bunch of clones, but this idea seemed way cooler.

Tomorrow's drawing...fruit fruit fruit...I may have to sit this one out. I'm having a party tomorrow!

Captain British said...

All of these amazing drawings just make me feel inferior :(

Nullh said...

@Nullh 30 and 34? 30 and 39. Sorry Moongaze!

blindferret said...

Wontorres/blindferret here (honest, I accidentally used my old nickname in submitting. Now I'm blindferret forever)
These are great, and mine kinda sticks out with the GIMP look (I knew i should've hand drawn it)
I still am curious about how some can imitate the vector drawing of the show.
Eating fruit?
FOREVVERR!

DJ RBDash said...

And Invisipony was never seen again~

Periphery said...

Crap and a half, that took an hour for the page to fully load.

I wish I could have gotten my original idea to work. I spent two hours trying to ponify Sarah Palin, but couldn't get it to look anything like her. So I gave up, switched to Granny Smith, and sent it in 20 minutes late.

ChaosDrop said...

I don't really get into the calling numbers thing but I do find it funny I got spot #10 twice in a roll.

ecmc1093 said...

#137
I WAS going to put Trixie yelling in there. Honest! It was just a little too difficult for me :/ sorry to disappoint, Seth.
On another note, opening this page in a new tab nearly killed my browser, or at least put it in a coma or something. I don't know if it was just a one off or if something changed with the layout? I did load the first day's results (with over 300) just fine so I'm not sure.

spurs said...

#273 here. I wish I had time to vectorize this for my entry, or at least a had a scanner where I'm at. That phone picture with my shadow is so ugly. :(

@ecmc1093This new method doesn't appear to be generating thumbnails. I'ts downloading the full images and html resizing. I imagine this is killer on older computers, dialup, and consumes quite a bit of bandwith.

Spurs said...

Err, i mean 253

frith said...

@Anonymous

Guess it's not quite as awful as I thought. 8^D In order to do the hair, body, eyes, cloak and so on in separate colours, I made twelve different drawings on ZeFrank's Scribbler and pasted them together.

The plethora of hosts and the multiple large files are less than optimum. I've refreshed the page a few times and still there are images missing. At least right-click, open in new tab keeps the whole thing from trying to load yet again.

Favorites!
20 -- The Great and Beautiful Luna!
104 -- The Great and Powerful Gardener, so well executed... but what is that? Is he a pony? Where's his cutie mark? He keeps popping up, pulling carts everywhere!
150 -- Hee hee, the G & P mooman Derpy.
196 -- Comic of Big MacIntosh strutting in Trixie's robe and hat!
202 -- Rarity has gone MAD! Trixie is outraged.
281 -- Nice monochrome of Twilight, pensive or uncertain in Trixie's getup, with dangling cutie-mark charm.

Anonymous said...

# 94 checking in.

I hope Seth or any other Trixie fans out there don't take mine too seriously. I mean it all in good fun. Besides, like Phoe said, an annoying boastful narcissist is the best kind of narcissist (or at least the most entertaining).

Anonymous said...

@ecmc1093

Whenever I load this page in Chrome, my laptop disconnects from my wireless internet. It loads fine in Firefox though. I guess it has something to do with the new way of uploading the images.

#52 btw ^^

Alleen said...

#159!

Thought I was being original with the Trollestia thing... Oh well, I believe (unless I missed one, which is entirely possibly) that I'm the only one who sent Trixie to the moon.

Even if you can't read it. D:

Good job everypony, it feels so great to be in this with all of you.

Mine is #80. No matter the result, I enjoyed creating it and I think I even learned something in the process (not that it shows lol), which is the point really.

Luna said...

#49 & #157
While I'm glad it got posted, #49 was posted under the wrong day.

Anyway, my ego has been stroked. Luna is happy.

Bravura said...

So many awesome drawings out there! There are
too many good ones to name them all.

Some can make their work stand out because of
their great lineart/colors while some others use
their powerful imagination/humour.

Guess what you get when you combine both!

It wasn't bad enough with Applejack and that apple, but now two ponies and... GAH!

I absolutely love all the Trollestias, the idea never even crossed my mind! All the Fluttershies are lovely too!

Didn't ink mine this time (227) but its not awful for a rush job. :D Going through the entire artistic process from idea to completion in a timespan of a little more than 12 hours is something i need to get used to again, but it feels GREAT! Thank you guys for this event!

#234! I almost went past it. It turned out better than I remember since submitting it!

Lorina Dante said...

@FoxOfWar #56 here :) And yeah, I must totally agree with you about Rarity. I thought many people would draw her too, but her hair is a nightmare to draw. (her tail too, hence why I hid it under the cloak, hehe)

#202 is pretty awesome! Trixie's face is priceless.

This is a great event! Thanks to everypony that has been working on the tech side and to the contributors! Fine artwork all around. I would comment on some, but I want to see them all before I do.

I am having exactly the same issues in both IE and FireFox. The previous days worked well, but today I have not been able to view all the "Great and Powerful Ponies" that I MUST see. I'll keep trying.

#171 here. The camera I used really did a number on my comic, but I like how it turned out nonetheless. Still, more of a reason to buy a scanner one of these days.

Drawing is hard. =/

Retl said...

Not sure if I'm just imagining it or getting mixed up since I haven't been paying too much attention to names yet, but it seems like some of the artists have really picked up a bit and stepped it up a notch since the first post.

#151.
PONI, Y U NO EASY TO DRAW?!?!

Shiko said...

19 & 23 are the SAME D:

Kujiiro said...

138 ... Can I ask where that magic is coming from?

Also, the first Big Mac one made me lol xD

Kits said...

Man. I always get depressed when I see someone do the exact same pose as me and do it better:

Applejack with both her and trixie's hat on? I thought I was being original...

AlterForm said...

Flaskgarg said...

QUIIIILLLLL! AAAEEEEIIIIOOOUUU!!!!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Never enough hats, I say!
Hats for everypony!

GameBuddy said...

217 today. I finally had time to color mine.

I wasn't the only one who thought Big Mac though, I love the pixel art in 256.

calamari said...

You guys are absolutely right. The page is taking way too long to load (at least in Firefox).. embarrassingly it loads fine on my Android phone, which is what I used when testing, go figure. I'm investigating a way to create thumbnails, but I'm not aware of any image uploaders that would both 1) welcome automated uploads and 2) keep the images up for any length of time. If anypony has a solution to this, please mention it in this thread:

@AlterForm

120 (Applebloom in Trixie's robe and with a trixified ribbon on her head) was 're-inked' using ZeFrank's Scribbler. The Scribbler is on the web, use Google. 8^) The Scribbler has lots of limitations but it's fun to find ways to work within those limitations.

Thattagen said...

@Retl
You're not imagining it! I keep finding myself trying to outdo my previous post, and everyone else's while I'm at it. I went from a simple sketch to an effect-filled action pose to a better-proportioned Trixie.

Just watch. By day 30, over half of the pictures will be drawfriend-quality!

Anonymous said...

Nice drawings everyone.

After looking at them mine seems pretty ok to mid-tier good.

Also makes me wonder how some people make theirs so nice looking with straight lines and coloring. Like #38 and 68 for example.

RaspleZS said...

I'm #245 (again).
Similar boat as other ponies, not enough time to get done what I wanted. :/
And, Firefox not liking trying to load the images this way.

But, eating fruit for the next task? Perfect time to draw myself (in pony form)!

Anonymous said...

19 = 23
30 = 39
55 = awwww.
196, Bahahaha, I never expected Macintosh.

I'm surprised to see so much Fluttershy and so little Twilight Sparkle.

Luna said...

Seven hours for today's means bad quality in the three hours I get tomorrow.

Tomorrow's task better not require anypony other than the CMC, Trixie or me, Phoe, or there will be graphiteical anguish.

OmegaRKB said...

Bleh, I got college in the morning so I've had to rush my fruit eating picture =(
Also, anyone getting a "Sorry, currently experiencing technical difficulties. Hope to be back up soon." error on the form/website/script thing? I got to go to bed and won't have time in the morning to upload, so I'mma just gunna have to E-mail Phoe =(

Charles said...

Submitted my next entry. I did a colored comic and it took me about 6 hours. Curse my trollish sense of humor.

calamari said...

I found a solution to the thumbnail thing, I hope, which is storing them on sadpanda.us. Had to complicate my cgi a bit to do that, so I really hope I didn't break anything. But, it was a fun day of learning and coding... I love python.

I guess we'll find out how well it worked in about 6 hours! ;)

Sorry about that!

calamari said...

@OmegaRKB

Yeah I shut it down for about 10 minutes because I was afraid I had some bad code (turned out to be a false alarm, but better safe than sorry). I saw your preview in the log and mentioned it to Phoe already. Don't worry, you're covered! :)

Atlur said...

I'd have to say my favorite is definitely 183. The idea is just so cute, and the execution is great, too. I had bigger plans for my picture, but had surprise visitors and had to cut it short. I'm pretty satisfied with my fruit-eating pony, though, and I'm excited to see what the topic will be for tomorrow!

God dammit I forgot to draw Derpy's wings for tomorrow's entry.
