Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII: Day 22

 

Source

Now that is a mood. I remember being in the same exact situation many times, trying to get assignments done or working on my thesis. I am glad those times are over, but also glad I got to experience them. And I am sure many of our artists are feeling the same way, staying up late and getting ground down by it all, but we don't have much time left, the goal is in sight. You all can do it!

As for today, we managed to get 66 ponies which brings us up to 1632 ponies in total.

Moving on to today's prompt, we had a chance to look into the darkness and at the end of the darkness is usually a light at the end of the tunnel! Of course, to get ourselves back on our feet we sometimes have to work and fix things that may have broken during our darkest moments. That's why for today I'd like you all to Draw a pony facing a mistake from their past / Draw a  pony putting the pieces back together. 

As always you can find the submitter here.

For our mobile friends trying to upload, try this:
Once you have the image uploaded to Twitter, DeviantArt, or wherever try this: Touch and hold the image. Depending on what browser you’re using, select the image URL by tapping the links below: Chrome: Copy link address Safari: Copy

Use that URL in the compiler for your image. Hopefully that works!

Max Image Resolution is 4096x4096! If your image is larger than that, the submitter will resize it to that max resolution.

Animations do not animate when sent through the compiler! Include some text with your submitted animation that people should follow your links to the source to see the animation in full.

Remember, our compiler for the old prompt is up a few hours even after this post goes up with the new prompt so feel free to submit your submission to the previous day's submitter!

Also, if you are late submitting and the submitter is closed, don't just throw your pic into the next day's submitter. Wait for a Makeup Day to submit!

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 #artist-training-ground for you to hang out in with your fellow artists during the event. You can join our Discord server here.

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII: Day 21

Source - Vapor Trail

Good evening ladies and gentlemen! I hope you all managed to enjoy your Makeup Day, whether it was relaxing or getting caught up on prior prompts. Either way, I hope today wasn't too stressful for you all as it is always important to take breaks when you can so you don't end up burning out. Hopefully, the rest you all got can take you through to the end of the NATG!

Today we managed to get 63 ponies which now brings us up to 1556 ponies in total. Nicely done once again everyone!

For today's prompt as we enter into the final leg of our NATG journey, I wanted to give you all a chance to practice some different kinds of lighting you might not have been used to up to this point. So far many of our ponies have been shown in the light, but the night offers just as many opportunities for adventure as well as practice for your lighting and shading skills. So for today, I want you to Draw a pony staying up late / Draw a pony kept in the dark.

As always you can find the submitter here.

For our mobile friends trying to upload, try this:
Once you have the image uploaded to Twitter, DeviantArt, or wherever try this: Touch and hold the image. Depending on what browser you’re using, select the image URL by tapping the links below: Chrome: Copy link address Safari: Copy

You know, I've never gone to a water park before, but considering just how hot it has been lately, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea?

Today we managed to nab 63 ponies which brings us up to 1493 ponies in total as we pass the 20th prompt. Nice work everyone!

Now the moment that all of our artists have been waiting for: Our second Makeup Day! For those of you who are caught up with your prompts, feel free to take the day off, and for those who are missing a prompt or two, feel free to get caught up if you'd like. Either way, the day is yours to decide what to do with it! You'll be able to find all of our prompts so far after the break.

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII: Day 20

I always am a fan of our sillier prompts as I never know what sort of comedy to expect, especially since our artists love to twist the meaning of the prompts as much as they can. As we enter into the final set of ten prompts for our artists, I wonder just what else we can expect by the end?

For today we managed to bring in 60 ponies which brings our total up to 1430 ponies. Nicely done everyone!

Since our second Makeup Day is just around the corner, I figured that it would be nice to end with a simpler prompt to help us all wind down a little beforehand. That's why for today I'd like you to Draw a pony enjoying a summer activity / Draw a pony feeling the heat. 

As always you can find the submitter here.

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII: Day 19

 

Source

While a lot of prompts near the end of the NATG are a bit more of a challenge to do, they can also be a fun and insightful way to see how others can interpret a harder prompt. With this one being about forging your destiny or experiencing a miracle you could get a glimpse into how an artist thinks, especially in how they define a miracle or destiny. It just brings out so much variety in the artwork.

For today we managed to bring in 58 ponies which brings us up to 1370 ponies in total!

Back to the lighthearted prompts for a bit everyone! Now that our ponies have experienced their destinies and the miracles of the world, it's time for something a bit more mundane and slice of life.  So that's why for today I would like you to Draw a pony daydreaming / Draw a pony with their head in the clouds.
