  • Newbie Artist Training Grounds VIII: Day 25

    by Calpain

    A lot of ponies with light bulbs above their heads but only one where the pony was inside the light bulb itself! I could tell that this prompt was relatively hard for a lot of you considering many chose the same thoughts for this prompt, focusing on the Idea portion of the prompt. That's ok though, it takes practice to come up with ideas you want to draw and sometimes when you force it nothing really works out in the end.

    All the same I hope it was a good exercise for you all and that you guys learned something from it.

    Speaking of today's prompt, we brought in a lovely 79 ponies today which brings us up to 3516 ponies in total! Keep up the pace guys!

    Now for today's prompt I wanted to take something from a special group that has been around since the ATG's early days. Called The Artist Training Grounds Alumni Group, they have posted prompts week after week for artists to continue practicing. While it isn't as fast paced as the EqD ATG where we have a prompt daily, they still offer plenty of prompts in their archive you can use for inspiration!

    That brings me to the prompt we'll be using today: Draw a ponified version of a fairy tale / Draw a legendary pony. Slightly modified from the source material, but I thought it would be a fun prompt to try out.

    As usual our submitter is here.

    New Makeup Day submitter is here.

    Good luck everyone!

    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.

    Check on after the break for today's gallery!

    9 Drifting on a thought - Nekotigerfire

    Art image 9
    I really wanted to do rainbow or Fluttershy for the next prompt and being that Rainbow usually does what her brain tells her it just went that way. I think it looks good, but ya no real background this time ^^;

    10 Nose Boop! - Erika Williams

    Art image 10
    I took away Prompto's impulse control and he wanted to boop noses with Gladio. Gladio was not expecting that.

    11 ATG comes to mind - Quint-t-W

    Art image 11
    Is it a brilliant idea to draw something for the prompt?
    It is unlikely I'll be able to put something for any other prompts, so here is atleast one picture I've done for the ATG this year.

    12 Something Giant Hat - Zypdv-HP

    Art image 12

    13 24-2018 - alloco

    Art image 13

    Art image 15

    16 For a moment - Minty Treble

    Art image 16
    This promp is so perfect!! since I saw "Surf and/or Turf", I can't stop thinking about Scoots singing "For a Moment", from The Little Mermaid 2~

    17 Dinky's Many Hats - GoggleSparks

    Art image 17

    18 Bright idea - Ragmo

    Art image 18
    When you're in the dark, a good idea can just brighten up your day.
    I draw with my regular room light on and put a smaller lamp to my side as spotlight. Took it again with my phone because i gave up on my scanner for grayscale. Had to turn flash on so my own shadow is present... and it made this nice effect fitting for the picture \o/

    19 A Million Ideas - bobthedalek

    Art image 19

    20 Surf at Sunset - dafiltafish

    Art image 20
    Whatever comes to mind huh? Well, I've been missing the pacific coast, so let's go with that.
    (It isn't very good, is it? Airbrushing is hard.)

    21 Screw The Dark Matter - MustachedBain

    Art image 21

    22 ATG 24 - Brilliance - PixelGrip94

    Art image 22

    27 Cloak - Matthew

    Art image 27
    Its is a known rule in the multiverse that everything that happens within it is a story being told. In theory, a fictional character can temporarily cloak their story, essentially hiding themselves from the multiverse itself.

    But can theory be put into practise?

    28 The Bet - PfH Mod

    Art image 28
    Come on! Wings are wings =D
    LazY drawing because I am perpetually out of time.

    31 A Bright Idea - Aku Neko

    Art image 31

    32 Twenty Yards of Nucc - AaronMk

    Art image 32
    Twenty yards of linen equals one lab coat, which equals one clothes lab pony, which I suppose factoring in labor value on top of use value equals 14 pounds of enriched weapons-grade plutonium which translates to one bomb.

    So yes Posada, thank you for your thoughts.

    Art image 39

    40 Doodling Session - Pink-Pone

    Art image 40

    41 Starlight Flux VS Creative Blocks - Starlight Flux

    Art image 41
    Well the main thing that came to mind was artist block, so I thought about drawing my OC destroying an art block. I also added some other creative blocks being smashed for good measure.

    42 Button Mash learns about Gaming PCs - The Vintage Pone

    Art image 42
    Button Mash used to play on his console, but soon discovers the power of Gaming PC's

    Art image 54

    Art image 60

    61 not such a briliant idea - don

    Art image 61

    62 just an idea - don

    Art image 62

    63 Context in the Description - Binky T.

    Art image 63
    For context, I've been feeling like hell today and had no clue as to what to draw for today's prompt. The one time I do get an idea is fucking this. My nose burns, my throat is dry, and I'm not even sick. And it doesn't help this is the lamest entry of the entire event.

    Art image 64

    Something quick and simple, busy day.

    70 Then she got an idea... - Binky T.

    Art image 70
    An awful idea.
    Rainbow Dash got a wonderful, *awful* idea!
