• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XV: Prompt #3

    Artist - Xppp1

    Hello everyone! I hope everyone has been having a great week and an amazing Chrysalis Day!! I have been loving every single one of y'alls submissions so far and I am so happy to see so many people participating!! Moving forward I will be naming these posts after the prompt number instead of the day to help lessen confusion! For prompt #3 I would like to see you:



      Draw a pony making a funny expression // Draw a pony putting on a brave face


     <<<You can find the compiler you'll be submitting your drawings to here!>>>



     We are also teaming up with Calpain over on Bluesky who will be hosting thirty prompts on their end. Today's Prompt: Draw a pony being insincere / Draw a pony acting two-faced 

     If you need some tips on drawing, check out our Tutorial Codex for hints and tips! Learn how to submit below if you have any questions.



    4 Stayin' Alive - Terminotter

    Art image 4
    Ever have a song you like that the lyrics are bad but you'd still sing and/or dance to it? Mac loves to sing and dance when there's nobuggy around, and the hive had this version of "Stayin' Alive" about hunting ponies. He doesn't agree with the lyrics, but they're just kinda catchy he falls into listening to it again and again.

    What is the Artist Training Ground?

    The Artist Training Ground is a month long event in which individuals challenge themselves to draw a pony every other day for a full month with the goal to teach you how to draw ponies.


    Each other day there will be a gallery of submissions where you all can compliment, critique, and otherwise bond over y'alls amazing growth as artists.


    Each other day we will release a pair of prompts (One basic, One complex) and you will have 48 hours to complete and upload said prompt to the compiler for submission.


    -----------------------------------------------------------
    What can I submit?

    You can submit the following:


    • Any Pony from OC to Canon
    • Any Race from MLP (Donky, Zebra, Griffon, Dragon, Etc.)
    • 3D Art
    • Traditional Art
    • Equestria Girls
    • Anthro

    Tutorial For Submitting to Our Compiler - Computer

    First off, our events where pictures are involved require the use of our compiler which can accept links from deviantArt, tumblr, FurAffinity, or any other hosting site as long as you can grab the image URL.

    A tutorial for grabbing the URL of an image can be found below.

    If you can't use our compiler for whatever reason, either you can't use an online hosting site or our compiler is blocked in your country, please send your submissions to [email protected] for inclusion into the gallery.

    A tutorial for grabbing the DIRECT URL of an image can be found below:

    (Note: Imgur is recommended if you are new to this, but plenty of others allow you to grab direct URL)

    In Firefox select "Copy Image Location" after uploading your image then right clicking on it:



    In Chrome select "Copy Image Address" after uploading the image then right clicking on it:


    This will give you a direct URL. It must end in ".png" or ".jpg".  Example for what it will look like:


    Paste your URL Here:


    Mobile Users - 

    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

    If that doesn't work, you can Touch and Hold an image, open it in a new tab and the URL of that tab should be what you're looking for.

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

    If you run into issues, send an email to [email protected]
