• Reminder: Newbie Artist Training Grounds to Start June 7th!

     


    Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that the NATG is now only a week away! I hope you're all ready to get the summer kicked off with a bunch of pony drawing fun!

    We will have our usual month of prompts to give you all a dash of inspiration to get some lovely ponies and other MLP creatures down on paper, digital canvas and more!

    For those of you who have never participated in our NATG events before it's basically an event where you can try your hooves out on creating art for the first time and improving over the course of 30 odd days.

    Artists who are veterans are more than welcome to join as well! Remember, you can never stop improving!

    As for what sort of artwork you can submit, you're welcome to submit digital art, ponies made on lined paper, paintings, elaborate origami ponies, chalkboard ponies, animations, pixel art or even SFM ponies like we did last year.

    We're pretty open on what can be accepted just as long as it matches the theme in some way shape or form.

    Finally, all entries submitted for each theme day have to be a new creation of some sort. We won't be strictly policing this, but the way I see it is that if you're submitting old work you're not giving yourself a chance to improve so you're only hurting yourself.

    Once NATG arrives I'll have a more detailed post on how to submit, where to view artwork, and what to expect out of the schedule. So until then, you guys have a month to prepare and make time for it, so get hyped, get those pencils or drawing pads ready and I'll see you all then.

    For any questions before the event starts, send them to calpaineqd@gmail.com.
