And as the weekend wraps up, so does our first Makeup Day. I hope you all either took the time to get caught up or had a nice break today as we are back at it with our prompts as we enter the second ten-day stretch of prompts! You've all got this!
As for our Makeup Day, we managed to draw in 59 ponies which now brings us to 847 ponies in total. Nicely done everyone!
This next prompt was actually one that was inspired by a suggestion in our NATG chat and I can't believe that I didn't try such a prompt sooner. Friendship is what our little show is all about, especially in the beginning when it was little lessons that Twilight was learning to be better at it. Just as our ponies in the show deserve friends and to spread the lessons they've learned so do the ponies of our artists! That's why for today I want our artists to Draw a pony sharing a friendship lesson / Draw a pony making new friends.
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.
Check on after the break for today's gallery!

I made the outline with too much purple but the way I made the art means there's no real way for me to fix it without making it look much worse or deleting a ton of the rest of the art

33 My Little Daisy: Pollen is Magic - Frith
This was for day six, "draw a pony as another species". So I chose daisy, with a changeling as a bee-mimic beetle (Trichiotinus assimilis) for good measure. My Little Daisy: Pollen is Magic. Which is why the beetle is swooping in. For the love, in solid form. To get a reply, click on the "Frith" link, no log-in required. It's Dreamwidth, as peaceful as Luna's night.

39 Striped wanderer - Cahan
Despite being taken by the undead curse and being necromancer herself, Cahan kept faith in the old gods of Zebrice. In her eternal state between life and death she remains as a guardian, whispering prayers to the nature and standing against everycreature who dares to challange what is holy. Curses and blessings are the same after all. This is my Day 5 drawing

A friend of mine, Mä?æ Råÿ, drew some clash stick ponies with their Niece on the driveway today. I asked if I could post it and they said yes, so here's Mä?æ Råÿ's first and probably only entry to NATG.

43 Tabletop Roleplaying Pones - phallen1
Day 10: I like unwinding with tabletop gaming and roleplaying stuff with my friends. Windy is probably getting into it after Patch introduced her, more about the group storytelling and improvisation angle than the number crunching.

There's like an 8 foot pony... beside it. And another one's inside. And it has big eyes and it's looking at us... and it's still there.

50 Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII - Day 7: Princess Adoration - CMC_Scootaloo
Platonic love counts, right?! Platonic love still meets the prompt, correct?! I took a shortcut here, because I couldn't think of a picture showing romantic love that was quick enough to draw (but still missed the deadline), so I chose the moment when Cotton Cloudy begged Twilight for an autograph during the Rainbow Falls Trader's Exchange.

51 Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII - Day 8: Seafilly Crusaders - CMC_Scootaloo
This is my biggest, most complex picture that I've drawn for this year, so far. I thought my picture of Day 1 will be the one that's the most complex of them all, I truly thought I couldn't surpass that anymore, but this one does that. It took me more than five hours to draw. And it's not even finished yet.

How does this picture even meet the prompt?! There is a way, but it's subtle. If you can guess it right, I'll draw your favourite background pony for you! Hint: It has to do with the spelling of Noi's name and a certain word in another language~
