Newbie Artist Training Grounds: Day 7


I have awesome friends edition. Just when I thought I would never find a good sketch-style filly, here somepony swoops in and hands me this... made just for me! Yay! I hope everypony's taken their insulin, because there is some high level diabetes coming your way tonight. It's a colt-crazy, filly fantastic submission night. I am so amazingly impressed by the quality of your ideas and the productivity you guys are showing. We're six themes in and you're still going strong. 223 itty bitty ponies so far!

Here's your nightly reminder of the submission guidelines, the end results of which have been refined to a satiny smooth level. So good. As an extra special bonus for all of you guys interested in doing digital art, AlterForm has produced an Inkscape guide for drawing pony eyes, which I'm going to leave here for you to reference as you please. Part 1. Part 2. Part 3.

The Theme of the Day

Draw a pony dreaming. What do I mean by that? Well hm, I wonder. On the one hoof, a pony in the act of dreaming would provide great practice for more position training and consideration of the effects of objects on anatomy. On the other hoof, I bet there are some fascinating things these ponies are actually dreaming of. Hm, hm, hm...


A quick round of applause to everypony for your very creative ideas. You managed to hit on just about every interpretation of the prompt I could think of, and then a few more that I hadn't even considered. Like gender bending. I giggled, I d'awwed, and I generally just loved the hell out of tonight's entries. I think you will, too. Step quietly now, and let's enter the nursery...

I really need to give myself more time to work on these.

The next theme sounds interesting. I'm expecting to see some Inception there.

Doc New!Filly said...

Oh my sweet Celestia #129 IS THE MOST BEST THING

Lunchmonkey said...

I love how there is more then one gun themed pony!

Muffinsforever said...

#117 Brushie Brushie

Love it Phoe.

These are all so awesome, a few I had to stop on and contemplate the utter cuteness level. I wonder how many drawings of Inception, Cp, or ships I will see in the next one =P (by the way I am avoiding cp in mine)

@Doc New!Filly

You are 100% correct.

Spurs said...

221 here. I feel pretty good about this one today, despite the fact that I only gave it 3 hours instead of the 4-5 I normally do.

PinkiePied said...

#153 reporting in first time not using references (except for the colt shits hard 2 draw)

Muffinsforever said...

I wonder how much cuteness this site can take before it implodes from the super huge amount of Dawww.

Eliwood10 said...

55! i got in early today.

I thought that no other piece of fanart could by cuter and more daww-worthy than that one of Applebloom sleeping in a basket of apples... but #129 proved me wrong.

First thing tomorrow morning I'm getting some insulin shots.

Anonymous said...

#209 here. Glad to see that I wasn't the only one that chose Zecora.

My personal favorite has to be #111; I admire that ability to convey so much with so little.

Also, y'know, cuteness might've biased my decision slightly...

ThunderThorn said...

#204 here.

Looking through the list, once I saw 129, I was beset by HNGGGG.

DJ Rainbow Dash said...

#77

I had about seven heart attacks from all the "D'awwwwww"

Anonymous said...

#119 is very good, Tan.

Anonymous said...

#14 here, no templates! I think I'm drawing too much Applejack.

Nah, that's crazy talk, you can never have too much Applejack!

Lunar Apologist said...

#82 reporting in and OMIGOSH, this thread is unbelievably adorable! (129 especially tugged on the ol' heartstrings)

Good work, ponies!

Anonymous said...

#20 reporting in, just have to say that 129 was the most painful thing I've ever seen in ponydom. That one hit close to home and the artist gets a slowclap from me for choosing to share it. These are good tears, Ego. Thank you.

Xiagu said...

#212. Not late this time! :D
Also, I got a Phoe-comment! I could just squee!
*inhales*
squeee~

11 - *audible gasp then squeeee*
28 - xD Dashie is not amused.
30 - SO MUCH D'AWWWW
41 - *hums along*
47 - oh you. Doing my idea better than I did... QQ
85 - eeeeeeeeeeeee~
90 - dumb fabric.
158 - I can see the vibratey eyes now! :D Filly Twilight is best filly.
210 - Stop reading so much, Twilight! It's not good for your eyes!

Anonymous said...

i win the 'predict the next days topic with this days topic' award with 120 ~

Adrian Brony said...

129 almost made me tear up. no joke.

PinkiePied said...

@Lunar Apologist

Hahaha that one was epic i laughed so hard

Mr. Wonko said...

#78 here. Yay, got a slow clap acknowledgement!
I could think of at least 2 more puns, but I guess two are enough.

28 is funny, I like that RD! :D
80 is one nice gun.
Nice idea, 101.
194 - So cute! :)

Fickle said...

#2 here.

Hee Hee... I feel so crafty... "Filly" cheese sandwich? Brilliant.

Da Chi said...

Woo! I'm number 172. Complete with a shout-out from Phoe!
Anypony who wants to write that story, you have my complete encouragement! That would be stellar!

As well. Number 129 made me smile. If that isn't drawfriend material I don't know what is

Aeiou said...

49, 60, 65, 66, Are probably my favorite picks from this day!

I'm really glad to see so many Apple family fillies and colts in this one!
Keep drawing everypony! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

DmitriFB said...

8 was me :3 Some of these are just ridiculously cute. I'm gonna draw Scratch for todays again I think.

Anonymous said...

omg 223 is awful, lol. The message, not the drawing.

Zephire said...

#163 here and hopefully making up for missing the past two days.

So. Much. Cuteness. In. This. Post!

I literally squeed out loud at these. Well, until I hit #129. Then I just needed to suppress a tear at the end of it.

And I love #212. Young Granny Smith is so cute X3

Keep up the great work, everypony!

Sali said...

#147 today! n.n

#129 is of course, so sweet, but that goes without saying.

I actually like #196 a lot. Very unique.

Kooldude said...

#68 Is that a Dr. McNinja Reference? :D?

#129 That was such a sweet pic, I loved it and it tugged at my heart strings, Daaaawwwwww.

Great job everypony!

Thattagen said...

#211 here! The sketchout phase, which usually takes the longest, sorta just breezed by!

I went more for sadness than cuteness this time. This pony, Naire Solael, is an angel with inverted wings, so she's a "flightless abomination." Everything I draw about her is sad, and I plan to write a sad story about her non-pony version.

Unfortunately, she opted for the "short way" down from Heaven. At least she can't die.

Is it just be, or is the average quality of the entries waaay better than two days ago?

Anonymous said...

So much wonderful pictures, I think I like 9,85,129 the most. Am I wrong or everypony is getting better at this really fast? This whole thing works!

Mine is #72. Silly me, I thought to be original with the Blueblood... Overall I am pleased with the result (even if it would be better with lace and curly mane, oh well - one step at a time). And comment from Phoe! I'm so happy!

And of course every single one of you is awesome - this probably should be assumed without saying by now.

Anonymous said...

#7 here :3

Just when I had posted mine, I remembered that Fluttershy had a bit different forelock as a filly... Oh well. I will get a fillie properly drawn for todays theme to replace yesterdays failing. :D

Delta Pangaea said...

129 really is the most amazing thing ever.

ALFALFA MONSTER!! BLEEEERHHH!!

Ricky said...

@Xiagu: haha! I was actually thinking of writing that on the pic.

Nice Filly Smith btw. :P

Nullh said...

129! Dawwwwww!
In at 85, with extra giant eyes for the kyewt.
Really great stuff, and many thanks to the punners for bringing me down from the cuteness high xD

Bell Flower said...

Yay @ Dr. McNinja reference! :D
Also, I laughed so much at #28. ^.^

BillyBatman said...

Everyone has done a great job!

zomgitsalaura said...

18 reporting in :D
I have since found out her name is berry punch x3

D. Shadows said...

@Muffinsforever

The D'awwwwwww meter overloaded a while ago and circled back around to minimum D'aw. Quite frankly it's like the rules of insanity, which specifically state you can push your insanity so far that you'll actually become normal in a full circle manner.

Number 175 is my personal favorite and despite being a monster I'm only into eating fish, chicken and specifically cows.

I despise cows with every fiber of my being because they are the ultimate evil in the world.

Nothing can possibly be that docile and not be more supposedly evil than me, NOTHING!

Torvan said...

<3 94 I love Carrot ^^

Noneko said...

#65 here.
these are all soo cute. And nice, I wasn't he only one who Drew Hoity Toity, Good job #53 :D

We were using references?

And a pony dreaming? Today? I did that two days ago. Sweetie Belle hates watching reruns.

101 here, which was my first time ever drawing Octavia or Scratch.

Totally as in love with 129 as everyone else, but 74 was really nice too. I'm also noticing that a lot of these entries are not only getting better in quality, but also, they're getting funnier and more clever. I like this trend.

#129 here. Thank you so, so much everybody for all the appreciation. I was kind of drawing from personal experience there, so it really means a lot to me to hear that people liked it.

Overall I'm really impressed with the amount of improvement. Just goes to show that practice and dedication really is the key to success. I already feel like I've gotten a lot better, and we're only six days in. Can't wait to see how much I've (along with everyone else) improved at the end of the month.

I think my favorite is #161. I love how much emotion and expression they have, and it's such a sweet scene.

Tast said...

I saw 129 and thought it was so adorable at first, what with Celly teaching Luna to fly and eat right and what not. Then I read the last part and I nearly shed a tear, and that's saying something, I don't cry at my family's funerals... "Best use of Pathos" award. 

All the pun drawings had me smiling. Number 2 surprised me at how soon a "colt" appeared. Nicely done all who drew :D Perhaps I'll download Inkscape and try my hand at this. Wish I had a tablet, though :s

MasterofRoku said...

Cool, I made it to #179.

94 and 129 were pretty adorable and they're two of my favorite drawings. Now I wonder what to draw for today's theme.

Kallik Russel said...

What in the world in #67 supposed to be?

This is the first one where I tried to be creative :3

#61

This is the first time I try SAI coloring. Got to do more experiment with it, I suppose.

Starlight Bolt said...

I finished my drawing(#190). A filly version of the OC pony Mischief was what was requested, if anypony is interested. http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/StarlightBolt/nvrrmbrSB.png

ZAquanimus said...

number 129!!!!'

it makes me D'awwwww!!! and HNNNNNNNG!!!!! and


*cries*

FoxOfWar said...

#27 here. As you can probably guess, #129 pulled at my heartstrings as well.

I also liked #9(the backdrop/shadow is a nice effect), #43 (laughed pretty bad), #60 (filly Celestia really is so huggable indeed), #62 (this site really has corrupted me to like Trixie), #66 (for the twist I beat myself for not realizing), #82(laughed my sorry rear off) and #101 (*grin*).

On today's topic: dreaming. Hmm. This might need some thought ;P

Bravura said...

Day 6 is officially my favorite day at the moment.

I have to say thanks for the extra trouble Phoe had to go through with my submission.

I share everyone's opinon about number 129 by Ego, it's amazing. I always thought the whole Celestia/Luna relationship makes good stories and pictures.

Aside from this one, my favorite is numbre 82 by Lunar Apologist. I had a good time reading that comic. At first I wanted to make my own Lyra say "Someday you'll understand, mom" but she ended up making saying "whatever" because it was shorter and her face looked like it was saying this anyway.

Congrats to everyone. This post is awesome thanks to all of you. Keep up the good work.

Kt Kat said...

Mine was 169... :( Not nearly enough time to finish, so tired from work yesterday. I didn't have time to draw the birdy landing on Fluttershy's wing from my sketch >.< Oh well, I'll finish it up and post it up where I can. I can't believe how fast people can ink and color these things!!

Sneo said...

the comment left on #68 blew my mind O.O
Go Gordito! Dr. McNinja need you!

Kujiiro said...

Filly cheesesteak Fluttershy looks adorably delicious.

Fox E: said...

This thread is BLEEEEH ADORABLE MONSTER

#150. Echoing others' surprise in the rapid development of artistry skills, never could've imagined I'd go from SBAHJ ponies to a halfway-decent color image in just a few days.

Congratulations to those who're breaking away from refs [not that refs are bad ofc]! I'm still trying to figure out how to draw simple lines without them coming out as sine waves personally, so basically I freehand-copypasted Scootaloo from a ref.

Also she's on a hoverboard if that's difficult to make out. At least she won't have issues going over water.

PonyStark said...

192. got my sub in SUPER late because I completely forgot to give L. StrongHeart an ear. xD

I want so bad to try and work on my tablet instead of the pencil/paper medium, but my skills are average at best. Someday I'll crack this digital barrier.

Also, YAY on more than 1 Zecora / LSH pictures. <3 those gals.

Baree said...

Kudos to #103. Little Strongheart is criminally overlooked if you ask me. She was a very likeable character.

frith said...

@Kallik Russel

67 is Cosgrove's pink dragon Serendipity as a filly, and the lineart was rendered in ZeFrank's Scribbler for shits and giggles.

MetalPandora said...

#200!

Wow, I have got to say, I'm really impressed at how fast everypony is improving! o_o Keep up the awesome work!

Taco Bandit said...

#21 here

This is my favorite them yet! I love all the daaaawwww moments! So cute. I like them all. Many of them made me chuckle. Great job everypony. Idk if I could get today theme done but I sure will try if not I'll just have to do two theme in one pic 2mmrrow. We'll see. Good luck on today theme Bronies! Stay strong!

Trunksi said...

Trunksi aka #9 here :D

Wow it's really fun to see all these submissions to this theme :D
It's really fun to draw to a given theme :)
Hopefully this will be going on some more time~

And well just a short note to my entry:
It's my poniefied OC Namina as a filly wondering HOW she will be able to fly with such a tiny pair of wings~
(The shadow shows her grown up state)

It was my first time drawing a filly pony :D and well I like the outcome :) (I'm not good at drawing chibis/kids/younger persons and also ponies haha)
and well I still have to work on my grown up pony-style so it would look more like the original one :(

Doombah said...

#152 here. Originally, I was going to go with a pony in a Colts or Phillies uniform but I figured that's what everyone else was going to do. I should have just gone with my instinct. :p

This was a fun one. I got it done fairly quickly. I only worked for like, 30 minutes or so. I don't know if it's a failing or not, but I can't not color my ponies in. Yesterday I didn't color Fluttershy because I was submitting after midnight, but all of the other days I have.

Also, so join the chorus of D'awwwwwwws out there, I loved #129 and watered up a little bit. :)

Dreaming, eh? I think I can do this. Must. Get. Creative.

Lorina Dante said...

#28 here :D Thanks for the comments! I'm really glad it made you laugh :3 (Now I really need to find a way to make the pics resize without looking all bleh.)

#72 I don't care what Blublood says, he's still adorable.
#129 made me go AWWW. SO MUCH. *sheds a tear*

Doc Steedly said...

#140 clopping into the daww party late this morning.

*breathing hard* Sorry everypony . . . i was up late last night readig *literally*

Wow this made my day, what an awesome thing to wake up to. Im wearing a pinkie pie smile already.

Im enjoying this more than i thought i ever would. Im back drawing, something my hooves have not done for a VERY LONG TIME . . . . im relearning how to do it with different aids ( digital tablets ) Only in a few days im able to push out pics faster now. The first pic i did was a pick of rainbow from the end of party of none ( not done yet ), That took 7+ hours. Then the second one was the wings training day, which only took about 4 hours. Then yesterdays training day pic only took me about 1h45min . . . . but to be fair last nights pic was WAY UNFINISHED.

Greatjob everypony. THESE ARE SO MUCH FUN!

#68 reporting in. I can't believe no one else has noticed how similar Sheriff Silver Star was to Gordito from Dr. Mcninja before. Same costume, same amazing mustache.

I love looking through these every morning for inspiration for the new topic, this event is so great!

#148 today. I actually had planned on having 7 fillies, but ran out of time before having to go to bed. Strangely, this is the first time I've ever drawn Derpy. Also, it can be tough to draw these ponies and make them look even younger without just making them fat little blobs with huge eyes.

Some of my favorites:
48: Poor Twilight, I know how you feel :( Making friends is hard
73: Very cool and cute, grumpy little Dash is amazing
106: She looks so happy! :D
110: I like how it looks like they're observing all of the little filly pictures above them
125: This made me giggle
158: Twilight is adorkable
194: Super cute idea

Hey, question is it possible to submit a certain theme if a day has already past and the submissions have already been posted or would it be too late for that?

About the artwork, there are tons of really adorable ones, but I don't know what to say about #129 that hasn't been said already. It's adorable, touching, funny, and even something of a tear jerker by the bottom of the image. The image of the two cuddled up together is adorable, though.

#49 today.

166 today.

I think the colros turned out well, but now that I look back, is his neck a little too skinny? Li'l Mac was gangly though.

Lots of great pics today.

@Landon

Generally what people have done in this sort of situation is wrapped the older theme around the current one and done a two-fer. In general I accept such tangential connections to the theme that it's not very difficult to combo.

If you're just flat-out inspired by an older theme then I'm happy for that and would encourage you to act on that inspiration, but the ~24 hour window for inclusion into the older galleries has passed.

Not as many filly-Lunas as I expected...
Should have entered...

Unfortunately that's what happens when people steal your art.

I'm calling it now, someone is going to draw Derpy in a field of muffins for tomorrow.

Kits said...

Is it just me or is inkscape a complete and total POS? I make an ellipse, rotate it and select Path -> Object to Path only to be told that no objects exist within my selection.

Anypony want to tell what fundamental thing it is I'm doing wrong?
