Submitter link fixed! - Cal
Much like the ponies we have on display tonight you all have been undertaking your own incredible journey! With each day you step closer to the end with a bunch of drawings in your belt to show off your accomplishment. Keep it up everyone!
Today we managed a lovely 125 ponies which brings us up to 2098 ponies altogether, breaching the 2000 pic milestone!
Our next prompt I'm personally excited about because I've always liked this subject matter and I hope you do as well. Tonight we'll be tasking you all to Draw a pony chasing their dreams / Draw a pony reaching for a goal.
As usual you can find the submitter for today here.
Remember, our compiler is up a few hours even after this post goes up so feel free to submit your submission even though this post is up!
Check on after the break for our full gallery!

Fluttershy on her personal adventure ...
Hi guys !
New day, new art for EqDs Newbie Artist Training Ground.
This time I tried to draw Fluttershy. I think it turned out pretty good. Perhaps her front mane could be better but nothing is perfect.
So you hopefully join Fluttershy on her journey.
Created with pen(s) and paper.
Color correction with GIMP.

23 Leaving Sweetapple Acres - LennyStendhal13
Just a doodle this time, sorry, I only had one hour to dedicate to drawing.
I wanted to try a new perspective, a less "flat" one and I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Eeeyup, the one you see at the beginning of the path is Apple Bloom's bow: she didn't want to take too many memories of her old self in this journey.

29 "Your bits or your life" (Sketch) - Ninjachristian
I only found this artists training grounds thing on the eleventh day, but whatever. I took all day to do this sketch, and sadly I don't think I can finish and do the shading or add any more details before the compiler goes down. Oh well, had a lot of fun drawing it at least xD.

Doing this made realize all over again how much i love this show and its characters. Its just something about how their personalities shine, even when their not saying anything and just being on a crazy adventure like this.

For some ponies the adventures are just waiting for them at their shelves, and with a small flick of a hoof the grand voyage begins.

48 Lux: Enter the spooky tunnel. - Kinrah
"One of your escorts seems to think this is a BAD IDEA. Trains that go into this tunnel DON'T COME OUT AGAIN. You think it's just a quick shortcut. It's definitely probably going to just be a basilisk ahead. Basilisks like tunnels. ...What was that noise?
You get the feeling you shouldn't be here."

58 The Chase - Allonsbro
I like how good this looks for how quickly I made it. This training ground is helping me get rid of a lot of things that slow me down in my process. I'm also finding that inspiration is flowing much better now. I can come up with ideas faster and I'm planning them out better.

The Training Grounds are a personal journey for sure each year.
Because I don't have an OC I chose best pony-- I mean Fluttershy instead.
(And if you're wondering, this "recursion" is called the Droste effect)

79 The Trail Ahead - EbonyCrystal1986
I can't believe I managed to pull off today's prompt even though I was a bit stumped on ideas. I even decided to try and make the lineart a bit more to the show's style, too. :3
Ebony had been living in Ponyville for a few months now and she remembered her promise to her late father by deciding to take a couple weeks to herself and go out and see Equestria by train. It was her very first time on the Friendship Express so she was pretty excited to see all of the many different sights out there, and maybe even make a few new friends along the way, too.
Yeah, I couldn't resist adding a bit more of Ebony's backstory here. Like I said before I know it's a bit out of order, but once I have the majority of it down, I'll put it in order on dA for you guys to read later if you want to. :3

81 Your bits or your life - Jonathan
I stayed up till midnight working on this. I don't really have a good setup for taking a picture of the drawing, so it looks really bright in the middle. First time drawing ponies in an environment, or two ponies in the same scene, for that matter. Practice makes perfect, I guess.

Did my best to draw my pony on her adventure to Canterlot.
Forgive the background I didn’t spend a lot of time on it, also I’ve had a headache all day, but still wanted to do this.

83 ATG [Day 11] Adventuring Mishap... - BluestFlames
This is for the Artist Training Grounds On Equestria Daily!
Today's prompt was to: Draw a pony on a grand adventure / Draw a pony on a personal journey.
So I drew Saroba having a bit of an adventuring mishap. Don't worry, she survives this. *Ding*

93 Personal Development - World Eater
World there really wants to become an immortal alicorn. And sitting around isn't gonna get him there. No, he'll need to sit around, and research out of lots of books. So many.
The hat and cape help. Not magically or anything, they're just really comfortable.

95 Raymane 7 - Binky T.
So, when I heard today's prompt it took me a little while to get started because I had no idea of what to do. It wasn't until while I was jotting down doodle's for inspiration when some songs from "Rayman Origins" came up on YouTube autoplay. The games were always packed with some sort of adventure, and the music resparked something I've always wanted to do- Draw what would be a Rayman equivalent of the Mane 6 and Spike. Unfortunately due to a VERY busy schedule today, I barely got much done with the time I have. But I must say, I am kinda happy I put myself through this instead of backing out as I usually would do. It was fun drawing them again after such a long time, and it was interesting having them in somewhat dynamic poses with so many variations. The lighting was a bit weird so some parts look more faded than the rest. :( Also if anyone is interested, feel free to guess who's who here. ;)

Silly's taking a nice and easy stroll through an area with trees. She's reflecting over the past week's events.
I would have added/made a forested background, but I ran out of time.

98 Twilight Sailing the Seven Seas - Ignited Sage
So here I have Twilight sailing (well, actually drifting) down the seas to the great unknown. I don't know why but lately my art has been a bit sluggish. Oh, well. Going to see this to the end.

100 First Descend - Huffy26
Having spent essentially all her life atop the cloud high up in the sky, Gale had little idea what the world below was actually like. However, while performing her duties as a doctor for the pegasus race, Gale overheard numerous stories about the world below from the patients and guests she had. Slowly, but surely, Gale's curiosity about the world below grew.
One night, Gale found herself sitting above the cloud high up in the sky.
Staring down at the world below her, Gale pondered to herself,
" Are the stories they told me true? "
" Did those delicious fruits really came from the world below?"
" Will I get in trouble with the other pegasus if they find out?"
" Are the ponies down there really strange? "
" And most importantly, do I really want to go down there? "
For a while, Gale debated with herself. Eventually, she concluded that the only way she'll know the answers for sure was to experience it for herself.
And so, she descended.

The life of every pony is a personal journey and for Trixie, it's a trip. It's also a trip trying to get those circles within circles to line up and keep everything the right size and aligned. Time for me to trip on back to bed.

It seems like Daring Do encounters giant boulders quite often. Probably because ancient tombs have a habit of copying each other in an attempt to prove they can do it better than the other ancient tombs.
