Leave it to Lyra to have such a tasty treat fail so spectacularly. But even though things didn't go eat this time she isn't defeated by her delicious failure, when times get tough she keeps soldiering on. Tonight we've seen a lot of ponies dealing with the hardships of the things they undertake, some of them even struggling with art. Remember, as artists it is ok to be overwhelmed at times as long as you know you need to take some time to do proper self-care. Far too many push themselves way too hard and burn out as a result.
So while you all are learning and pushing boundaries I hope you are also learning your limits. It is just as important as learning your craft in my opinion.
While our ponies are digging themselves out of their respective messes and getting back on stable hooves again, I figured tonight we have a more light-hearted theme. While friendship is an important part of the show, love has also played a vital role as well! Heck, we even have a Princess of Love in the show and baddies that feast on the emotion as well! That's why for tonight I want you to Draw a pony in love / Draw a pony ready to take the plunge.
With the completion of today's prompt, we managed to bring in 94 ponies tonight, giving us 701 ponies in total as we wrap up our first week of the NATG. Nicely done everyone, keep up the good work!

45 Bad Influence - Termyotter
In over their head and biting off more than they can chew huh.... Hello Trixie. Several days before having to be bailed out again because she got in over head and nearly lost the same. Even after past close calls... well, she doesn't lack confidence in her ability. Starlight: Why do you keep that series of books around Twilight? You know she's the only pony that reads it. Twilight: Its a very interesting dissection of stage magic at its highest levels. Starlight: You know how she gets when she reads it though. Twilight: Oh no. Starlight: I honestly don't know if you're being sarcastic right now or not.

59 NATG Day 6 - Yona and Sandbar Mock Comicbook Cover - Cynac
"Yona want Sandbar to grow big & strong....like Yak! NOW EAT UP!!!!" I really loved how this turned out, Sandbar really has more than he can chew....literally. I decided to make it a mock cover, since I didn't know exactly what kind of background I wanted; and I thought the title of the comic would be a cool touch. Besides, the characters and their expression really tells the story here, so what else do you really need?

76 NATG XI - Day 6: A Big Piece of Cake for the Birthday Girl - CMC_Scootaloo
Brown Sugar got herself a big piece of chocolate cake for Day 6 of the Newbie Artist Training Grounds XI! Is it more than she can chew? Yes, yes absolutely. But doesn't matter, because chocolate cake. This picture is kind of another illustration for one of my ponyfics, "Wish for a Mother" (Link is in the description on Inkbunny). Brown Sugar's sixth birthday party happens at the beginning of the story and she stuffs herself with several pieces of chocolate cake during the party. She might have looked something like this while she did so.
