It's finally here everyone, the end of the NATG! After a month's worth of prompts and what felt like endless struggle for many of our participants the big event is finally at an end. I'm so proud of all of you that managed to stick with it over the course of so many days and those of you who even participated for one, two or just a few. Every one of you who at least tried one prompt at least had the courage to try something new and I hope to not only see you again next year, but hopefully some new faces that will take the leap into drawing as well!
For our final gallery we managed to bring 82 ponies bringing us to a grand total of 3057 ponies for the entire event! That's a lot of ponies guys, all thanks to your creative efforts!
Thank you all once again for participating and I hope you had fun as well. The NATG is certainly the highlight of my summer and I can't wait to hold this event next year as well! For now though, let's celebrate our graduates by checking out what they created after the break!
10 Graduation Day Photo - Star Shine
And so ends another NATG. I absolutely love this event and I look forward to doing it every year. I like seeing how my art progresses with each year and how I have grown as an artist. Thank you so much for this opportunity to share my art with others and to see what other Bronies can come up with too. I hope this event continues to run in future years.
16 NATG 2019 Day 31 : Graduation day - Devinbay
Welp NATG is over and thus it means Graduation day. Well that was an experience, their was some prompts I didn't like and some I love. All the retweets and likes on Twitter, to favorites and leaving comments on Deviantart. Thank you guys so much!

And the moral of the story is: when talking to Pinkie Pie, always use clearer language.

It's the motivation from others that helps us through!
24 My Goal... Kinda - LizardWithHat
Made as much prompts as i could... i'm happy i made so much. This was a treat :)
25 Wuhu!! We did it! - ragmo
Like the last years i'd like to thank Equestria Daily for hosting this event again. We've seen old and new faces and lots of improvement over the course of these 33 days.
I dried new stuff here and there... and i'm very satisfied on most pieces i did this year - especially on the eyes i did (yay i can do eyes \o/)
So: thank you Equestria Daily staff for having us again this year for an entire month; Looking forward for next years ATG

26 Graduation Day - LennyStendhal13
I'm so glad I could take part in the ATG once again.
Thanks everyone! To EQD for organizing this wonderful event and to all artists for making it special and adding some more colorful equines to this world, since they are never enough. ;P
See you next year! ^.^

28 NATG2019 - DAY30 - Graduation - DarkDabula
"There is still space left !"
As always it was pretty tough to invest every day about 2 hours for drawing. Sometimes I had trouble to figure out a matching image for each daily prompt. But it also was a lot of fun and I could try new things. This training ground was my first which I completed fully digital.

29 Graduation [ATG 2019 Day 30] - Spellbound Canvas
Prompt: Draw a pony graduating / Draw a pony attaining their goal.
After sitting out the past 25 days I thought I'd comeback to do the final drawing prompt for EQD's ATG.
This was also an opportunity to put my flagship OC into an ATG submission.

31 Becoming a Wonderbolt - ZoneSystem
“Alright cadet! Welcome to the Wonderbolts!“
Soarin’ seemed to be my pony of choice when drawing stuff this year for the ATG, so I though it fitting to show him graduating to become a Wonderbolt.
Thank you Calpain for running another Artist Training Grounds event! While I didn't have the time to participate everyday, I had lots of fun trying to come up with ideas to fit with the prompts on the days I was able to draw.

32 Goal Attained - Harry/Leatherface
Things I learned today:
1: Perspective is hard.
2: Bob Ross' afro is hard to draw
3: Years of typing has ruined by handwriting.
Anyway, I guess that's it for this year's Newbie Artist Training Grounds. I hope these continue, even with the show ending.
It took me until the end to get anything done this year, but think i've finally found a good way to draw. A cup of tea, Brooklyn Nine-Nine playing in the background and a nice summer's day helps a lot. Who knows, maybe I'll even work my way through some of the prompts I missed.
...Well, maybe when I'm done with Fire Emblem :)
I just want to say, I love this fandom. It's capable of such fantastic feats of creativity, surpassing that of the official media. The show would not be what it is without this amazing community. I'm sad the show is ending, but I hope this isn't the end for us. You're all amazing, and I'm so proud of you.
Love you all,
Leatherface (Equestria Daily)

A pony attaining their goal.
ATG was fun, and I do feel like my drawing skills improved over the course of the month, but its gonna be back to writing for me, with (maybe) the occasional drawing

39 No More Cinnamon Rolls - Chopsticks
I drew Artik's OC Tvælåt completing her conquest but unfortunately, it is not exactly a conquest you want to actually accomplish.
40 NATG 2019 Day 30 Draw a Pony Graduating - TallaFerroXIV
You can only submit a request for postings. Ruby will be a Milling Supervisor for ever now.
43 The End - t72b
Its been fun this year, and hopefully Ive managed to get better at something along the way. looking forward to more events in the future. also it was cool watching every one else go along the same path
44 Emperor is a gender neutral title in Equestria! - Artiks

46 Graduation Day! - EbonyCrystal1986
Pinkie could never resist a chance to throw a party, of course when she heard from Ebony was graduating, she gathered her friends together and, well you can see the result of that!
Well this pic took me all day, but I'm so glad I was able to finish it early and on time! While I know I've skipped a few prompts this year thanks to the rough month I've had, like last year and every other year, I'm still very proud of all of the ones I've done. Especially this one since I'm not used to drawing group pics this big. I might have to challenge myself like this more often! :3
Also, I'd like to point out that thanks to his wings, Spike no longer has to worry about photo-bombing anypony in group pics as much anymore(unless he wants to lol) x3;;;

Here's a pixel art I recently did of Princess Luna obtaining her goal. I hope you guys like it.
56 NATG 2019 Day 30 - Addelum
This was fun! I'm glad to participate in this year's Newbie Artist Training Grounds, especially as I start school in the fall.
62 A Self-Achieved Goal - Pone-Dancer
Mulberry Whine's lifelong goal was to catch his tail. It was slightly more painful than anticipated...
69 2019 ATG IX - Day 30 - Graduation! - KirbyLiscious
Congratulations, everyone!! You all did such a fantastic job, whether you did just one prompt or every single one!! It was such an honor and a blast to participate with you. I hope you keep on arting away!!
-Much love, Liscious

70 Graduation Day - SupermarineSpitfire
In these thirty days, I have made significant progress and have learnt much about drawing. What I consider the most important lesson is that drawing is a skill. With enough practice, anyone can acquire basic drawing competency. I still have a ways to go before I can become proficient, but I welcome the challenge.
72 Assention - Frith
Trying to end with a splash, wrestling with the Zefrank art program. Some goals come as a surprise, like dying and emerging from the afterlife with and extra pair of limbs. I get up for a 10 hour work day in four hours, I'd better poke this with a fork and call it done. Thanks for 30 day art challenge Calpain and EqD! I wouldn't have worked so hard on drawing ponies (or anything else) without it!
74 I Dare Ya to Pick Yer Poison - MorphiusX
So do you remember that one IDW My Little Pony: Friends Forever #32 (Fluttershy & Daring Do) that Daring Do is afraid of Spiders?
Do you also remember that one mention Spike said from Twilight Sparkle & the Crystal Heart Spell that Daring Do is also afraid of fish?

81 Six Degrees of Friendship - phallen1
The Student Six! Or maybe they're the Graduate Six at this point. You know what's funny? There's only one pony in this pic, and he was the last one I drew. In fact, other than Yona and Sandbar, this is the first time I've drawn any of the Student Six. Twas a challenge to get them all drawn, even with the extended deadline for today's turn-in. With that, I have successfully drawn and submitted something for every prompt of this year's Newbie Artist Training Grounds. So that's me attaining my goal for this event, and the first time I've pulled it off in several years. Thanks to Calpain and the Equestria Daily crew for putting this on! It's been fun!
