Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 4 (2024)

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 4 (1)

Source - DoodleDonut

Sometimes we like to be brave and sometimes we like to be a little bit cautious, especially when we are trying something new. Whether you are a veteran trying out some new technique or a newbie who is trying art for the first time, it can be a bit frustrating and scary to get started. Hopefully over the course of the NATG those fears will melt away and you'll all be more gung-ho diving into new challenges!

As for today, we managed to bring in a total of 69ponies which now brings us up to 201poniesin total. Not too bad for a few days worth of work!

For today's prompt, we have all tried something to find out it led us nowhere or been put into a tough situation with barely a way out. An occurrence that can happen when you have a 24 hour deadline and things go wrong at just the wrong time. So for today's prompt I'd like you to Draw a pony on a wild goose chase / Draw a pony stuck between a rock and a hard place.

As always you can find the submitter here.

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!

I really appreciate you helping me test this cloudwalking spell!"As part of my attempt of bringing awareness regarding just how many brony sites there are out there (and conversely bringing awareness to other sites of EqD’s NATG), today I posted my drawing to MLPForums /)

37 Tiptoeing Through the Tulips - Frith

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 4 (38)
They're horses! They walk on their nails! They're always tiptoeing! Now, you'll be telling me, tulips aren't dangerous. But look that pony with the hoe, galloping this way with bared teeth, and tell me again that tulips aren't dangerous.

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 4 (45)

55 Book Faire 2: Pyrotechnic Boogaloo - Termyotter

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 4 (56)
So, years ago I had these two go wild at a book faire. So, I thought about both being much older, in positions of power, and what throwing caution to the wind might mean then. Like scheduling two fairs together to make a really exciting one. It's going to be awesome. Set the town on fire!

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 4 (61)
Fun Fact, conventional deer crossing signs don't really help either deer or people, since the danger the signs warn of is largely hypothetical. Besides, deer will just go wherever.

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 4 (68)
This is my most ambitious drawing yet. If you haven't noticed, it's heavily inspired by Spelunky HD—I started playing it again recently, which brought back some of my disappointment with Spelunky 2 (it's a great game, but can't compare to the original imo).

69 Grogar's Game - Slimefield - Khazard

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 4 (70)
The party encounters the classic first RPG encounter, slimes! While they are easy to deal with, you traditionally need weapons to do so. Without equipment, the party must navigate around this field of slime ponies and avoid waking any on their way to town.
