Every once in awhile it's a good idea to take some time for yourself and just relax a bit, refresh yourself so that you can piece together the recent goings on of your life so that when you return to them you can tackle them anew. The same applies with artwork. Every so often you run into an artist's block, lose motivation, and just plain burnout. While art may keep you busy it is important to pace yourself and make sure you take some time for yourself to recharge, don't forget that.
Now for today we managed to bring in 72 ponies which brings us up to 2369 ponies altogether. Great work everyone!
For today's prompt, now that we are into the last ten and you've had some practice drawing up to this point I want to give you a chance to test your flexibility. I'm sure many of you have your own inspirations as to why you got into drawing, especially inspirations from other artists. So for today's prompt I would like you to Draw a pony in an artist’s style that inspires you / Draw a pony fanboying/fangirling.

1 A Warm Evening in Siberia - Arkadios
There's nothing a cup of hot chocolate, a blanket and a book won't warm up.

19 Day Twenty-One - Caneighdian
I did a physical sketch instead of digital today. For all of the advantages digital has, there's nothing quite like drawing on a sheet of paper.

20 Refreshments - Quint-t-W
This pony knows all about keeping oneself refreshed.
I wish I could join the prompts properly and more often. However, have at least this one image for this year's training ground.

21 Sunny Holiday - Pone-Dancer
Theo Marblestone rarely gets a break from her normal waitress life. But when she does, Theo holidays in style! Sitting on the beach with some cool, carbonated orange tea and nothing to worry her.

32 Off to COmic-Con - Daimando
As of now, this will be my last drawing submission for the Newbie Artist Training Ground 2019. Reason: Comic-Con is right around the corner, and I'm not going to have the time to draw anything between now and the end of Sunday. So I'm leaving you this image where I'm taking a vacation from drawing anything.

46 Refreshing - Frith
I was too zonked after work yesterday to finish up the late sketches for the makeup day, so they'll have to wait. Today, I figured on sketching a refreshed Applejack. Between the frothing mug of apple cider and the smug "I didn't learn anything!", I figure she's some fresh right about now.

Being the guardian of the subconscious minds of dreaming poines is hard work. Luna takes some time to enjoy her beautiful night

55 Luna's Beach Day - SupermarineSpitfire
This scene in "Between Dark and Dawn" was amusing and unexpected; Luna never struck me as a beach pony. The sunburn she ended up getting does lend credence against that notion, though. I tried to incorporate two new features in this drawing: shadows and a natural background.

Only with ponies can I submit a candid shower picture to a family-friendly art event. I love this fandom.
