Trying new things requires a bit of courage, a willingness to know that what you getting involved with might be hard at first and that there might be frustration involved. You need to be able to push through the initial pain and keep striving to improve. In the end, even if you find out the thing you tried isn't to your liking at least you gave it a fair shot and that is what matters.
Well, as long as you don't end up hurting yourself like Trixie.
Tying into the idea of new things being hard and frustrating tonight's prompt is something important I think all people, artists or no, need to learn to deal with. Regardless of how good you are at something you are going to end up failing at times. But even in failure, it is important to remember to not dwell on the failure itself and instead turn it into an experience you can learn from. That's why for tonight I'd like you to Draw a pony experiencing failure / Draw a pony tasting bitter defeat.
For today we managed to bring in 53 ponies which brings us up to 2198 ponies in total! Lovely work, everyone!

So, earlier (see DA for link, Day7 entry I think) Trixie had been looking through a particular series on advanced stage magic. Well she decided to try and get through most of the series in a month. There were a FEW challenges along the way, but that's what you have to do to hit the heights.

Hardest part of trying something new is taking that first step knowing you're going to suck at it. It's still worth taking.

Mare tried to help Mustang understand what flight feels like. She's quite a smol pone though, but she gets good marks for effort! Also I got my white light desk lamp again, so no more yellow tinge.

Flower Bud wanted to try a bit of science, but the results were somewhat catastrophic (at least he did not get to greater). Remember not to play with dangerous chemicals, and always be well protected (?
