Phew, that day certainly went by fast! The first day is always the busiest as everyone gets settled in and starts to find their groove (and figure out how the submitter actually works). As per usual, I am always surprised at the ideas you all are able to come up with for these prompts and I couldn't be happier to see the creativity of our new artists as well as returning veterans on display.
Thanks to all of your efforts we were able to accumulate 229 ponies for our first day of the ATG with more to come as I add latecomers in the morning. An impressive showing that just beats last year's number, something that hasn't been done in years!
If you emailed your drawing to me those will be added in the morning with the latecomers as well in order to not mess up the gallery.
Now our second prompt is also an all time classic, just with a little spin on it. Now that our ponies have popped into existence either standing still or frozen in place, it's time to get those ponies moving! Hopefully for this next prompt you'll have a chance to draw dynamic motion poses you might not have had a chance to do before and give your creativity a good flexing.
So without further ado, today's prompt is to Draw a pony in action / Draw a pony on the run.
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 to our submitter!
Attention Discord Users:
For those of you with Discord we are really pulling out all the stops this year as we have a channel on EqD's official Discord server called #creators-plus-atg for you to hang out in with your fellow artists during the event. You can join our Discord server here.

Pzsoldi is only my Deviantart name, I usually go by Itchy Stomach, hence the email address, but to avoid confusion, I want to use Pzsoldi for the submissions.

Simple drawing of Twilight Sparkle in a more "classic" My Little Pony style! I was going for a G3 look, but honestly my own style probably overpowers it more than anything lol!

My Little NATG VIII Diary, Day 0:
"I finally decided to join in. After like a month of consideration and self-doubting.
Artistic thing in general was never something I'm good at. Yet I've always wanted to be good at that something, for the love of pony.
To reach such quality of famous artists, it's gonna be a long way to go. But you just gotta start it somewhere. Nobody is at the finish line right away.
This will be a good place to start. Hoping for some fun and experience on the way."

Haven't really experimented with this particular style all that much (hence the awkward facial structure and bland colouration).
I basically just used a Wacom tablet to sketch out a form, then refined the outline and added colour.
Hope that's ok...

33 Day 1 - Press Garden Is Cool - Ben Edwards (Pigeon2Qwerty4U)
It doesn't look like it due to not having a background, but I was inspired by Press Garden Zone from Sonic Mania, it was the first thing that popped into my head when the prompt mentioned being frozen.

39 Snowbelle - Stone39
Here we have a new pony that's entered the stable of characters, Snowbelle! She's a special unicorn with her solid horn and her signature bridle. Her Cutie Mark is more related to the holidays, but she's open to spreading her magic all year long! I'm hoping to make a colored reference for her soon, maybe for a makeup day!

Here we go. Of to a new start of this years journey of my little OC(s) :) And drawing more than the rest of the year xD
I'm very happy with this one :3 Let's hope i can keep it up for the following month - yet I'm pretty sure I'll be very inconsistent regarding the head/eyes.

75 ATG 1 - Frozen - PixelGrip94
Had to kind of rush this one out since I'm leaving for work soon. I like how it turned out good overall, but I do wish I had more time to ink it in as opposed to just darkening the outline with pencil. Since I don't use deviantart anymore, I'll be posting all my drawings on my Twitter this year. It's easier that way, especially because I can post the picture using my phone whereas deviantart always gave me problems with that.

84 Only Eight Weeks Until Spring - Friendship Is Horses
After Applejack admonished her for being too impatient, Rainbow Dash -- never one to take a criticism lying down, valid or not -- boasted that she could stand in one spot for an entire day. Applejack wagered that she couldn't, and the game was on. Unfortunately, even though she won the bet, she can't stop not moving; the elements have gotten hold of her! It seems the Winter season still carries a grudge against her for trying to eliminate it.

I decided to try my hooves on a Digital drawing, I'm not very good at the lineart yet, nor at coloring and it's basically my first time doing a full body drawing of a pony. I hope that with more practice I can improve a bit.

107 Spotlight Splash frozen in Ice - Frith
So it begins anew! Of the two choices, standing or frozen, I went with frozen. I took my sketchbook to work and during my lunch break I established that I still can't draw without looking at solid references. So when I got home I put two references together and I got Spotlight Splash in ice.

Lurked for since nearly the beginning of the show, about time I finally start interacting and participating.

Derpy has asked her good friends Lyra and Bon Bon to meet her for something, but are confused when they don't see her waiting for them. This is Derpy we're talking about, which means something must've gone wrong (as the text box indicating Derpy's current STANDING in this series implies). Seems a delicious muffin explosion has adhered our beloved mailmare IN PLACE, so she'll need some help getting out of this mess first.

I've had few goes at Pony art throughout the years, on and off since 2012 I think. However, I've always just watched as these Artist training grounds passed by. Well no more! Time for me to commit to learning to sketch, and where better to start?
I'm not great yet, but every attempt gets me a little closer, hopefully!
Thanks especially to ShadowStepWarrior for their tutorial on sketching. I've never attempted to draw a pose without a direct image to copy it from, but this guide helped a lot!

Once more, the Newbie Artist Training Grounds happen on EQD and this year, I will participate more proper again! My goal is again to draw a picture for each day and prompt and since I'm feeling more secure in drawing ponies lately and have also gotten faster at it, I am confident that I will make it this year!
The prompt for Day 1 is "Draw a pony standing/Draw a pony frozen in place". I knew immediately what I am going to draw once my eyes fell on the prompt..... I am participating in the Equestria Games in "Legends of Equestria" that happen for the first time this year, so I went and drew Scoots in the uniform of her team, Team Cloudsdale!

Well here we are, another ATG, and I'm once again reminded how hard it is to draw something decent when there's a time limit. normally spend a few weeks on a drawing, so speed is definitely an area I hope to improve on this go around.

This is my first time participating in the Artist Training Grounds. A friend of mine suggested I try it and I figure why not. I could've just done a simple pony on a transparent background with no color, but I had an idea and ran with it, haha. This was fun to work on, and I look forward to the other themes coming up!

Hello ATG 2018 viewers and participants! This is my first time taking a stab at MLP art, or art in general for that matter. I used a drawing tablet and the digital design program Krita to draw this cute pony! I know it's not much, and I would love for tips/constructive criticism, especially on fundamentals. Thanks and happy drawing :)

Gee Whiz it's been a long time since I've been on here. I know some of my older stuff looks better than this but cut me some slack... it's been like three years since I did anything... and I'm finally trying out that drawing tablet (which is SUPER weird to work with BTW). I'm hoping this will help me improve and bring back some magic into my life if I can keep it up. Hopefully I can improve because there is SOOO much *cough* 'opportunity for improvement' here, and it took me two hours to do this little bit at that... I'm not even caught up on the show but here's to hoping all goes well. O well... Best wishes all. - Skypause-

200 NATG #1: Standing Pony - Huxley
I want to develop good drawing habits and figure the NATG is a good way to achieve that. I'm also looking to be more confident sharing my work and less concerned with whether it is perfect, as this has bogged me down in the past. So I'll be doing a single drawing per prompt and submitting whatever I have. I'm new and that's okay. The only way to improve is to keep at it!

I'm also looking to be more confident sharing my work and less concerned with whether it is perfect, as this has bogged me down in the past. So I'll be doing a single drawing per prompt and submitting whatever I have. I'm new and that's okay. The only way to improve is to keep at it!

Rushed sketchy velvet to get in on the deadline. Hopefully I can get back to where I was 2 years ago, but those took 10 hours each! Aint no one got that time.

202 My OC - green913
Thought I would try and actually participate in the Newbie Artist Training Grounds again. I'm pretty proud of how it came out, considering I haven't really drawn much. In order to draw it, I followed this guide I found on drawing ponies: https://i.pinimg.com/564x/81/06/38/810638fa86c2802c99e7e7062536c32f.jpg
I've had this idea of my OC floating around in my head recently. It's similar to the OC I have as my icon right now, but with some tweaks. I might make more modifications later. I don't know what I want the mane and tail color to be. Right now, I'm thinking yellow with blue. And I feel I might change the coat color to be a bit lighter. Also, I don't really have a name or cutie mark thought up yet. I'm still working on that.

Here we go again. It's been a while since I've done one of these, so let's see how far I can go.

Simple digital drawing to break in. Been a while, feel a bit out of practice!
Hopefully NATG VIII changes that!
