Ah, love! It isn't just a feeling we have for a special someone, but for all of those we care about. It comes in different forms but it is the deep caring we share for friends, family and anyone we are especially close to. It's what FiM is all about and I'm happy to see you all sharing your love for art during this event, whether you're new or old. Keep doing an awesome job, everyone!
So at this point, we've had over a week of exploring ponies in all sorts of poses, situations and emotions. As you all know, the world of Equestria is quite big and has all sorts of different creatures in it! As an artist, it's good to expand your horizons to drawing other things so you're not stuck just drawing ponies, despite how awesome they are. So for tonight I want you all to try experimenting by Drawing a pony as another species (Draw a MLP species other than a pony / Drawing a pony making a fresh start.
As for tonight, we brought in another 96 ponies which brings us up to 797 ponies in total! We're getting closer and closer to that 1k mark, everyone!

10 Lovey-Dovey Couple - Stone39
I wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to draw some Feathcole goodness. ^_^

13 The Letter - Stone39
*She held the letter in her hoof. Her heart seemed to race despite how easy it was to write what was enclosed in the envelope. She was alright at getting words out, but she was better with a quill. Looking at herself in the mirror, she brushed back her coiffure to get a clear look at the mare staring back at her.* "I can do this... Right?" *Her thoughts swam around the uncertainty, which just made her all the more nervous, bordering on anxious. Even with every bad outcome crossing her mind at once, she hardened her stare, like the precious jewel of her namesake, ready to push herself anyway she could.* "I can do this."

15 Pinkie Pie Taking the Plunge - PonyThunder
Feeling a little 'meh' about this one, but I do like how I'm progressing with expressions and facial features. I have a tendency to draw happy ponies without much variation in eye shape though. Maybe next prompt I'll try something more nuanced.

I tried to get that "dreamy, in love" look. Instead, I got more like donut thinks " I need an adult" kind of stuff. Pinkie Pie model supplied by DJTHED https://www.deviantart.com/therealdjthed

24 Applejack and Apple Bloom - PonyThunder
Just a sketch again this time. I figured there will be a lot of romantic love, so I decided to draw something sisterly instead.

I could think of no better ponies to use for this one than one of my favorite (and canon) shipping pairs: Pinkie and Cheese. <=)

32 Artist Training Grounds 7: Sneaking out - Generic-artist
Draw a pony in love / Draw a pony ready to take the plunge. . Well I decided to draw genderbent Cotton and Fiesta sneaking out to have a picnic under the stars.. While their parents don't support them they totally don't care, love is in bloom. And as we see here, it's true as Fi goes to kiss him.

Tried using a smaller brush, which just resulted in me drawing in a much smaller size... I'll draw a bigger image next time!

43 Plunge - Termyotter
Maybe not ready to take some plunges but close... So clueless he kind of ended up getting the idea of taking their relationship further out there without the conversation even being about that, or really knowing what he was doing. At least he's okay with the other plunge for now.

69 Ponies in Luv - Pone-Dancer
Okay so since A-Generic-Artist-Lol drew a genderbent ship of ours I decided to go down that path and draw my fav Panny ship! I just adore her and Blitzkrieg together so much. He's not the most handsome of the boys but he makes up for that in affection and protecting. Idk rough fella x Poofy gal is just good to me. Panny belongs to Generic-Artist ^.^ Next up is Mayflower Heart and Shock Top! He's got it bad for her ngl. Everything she does is amazing to him, and having her so close must be freaking him out badly XD She smells really good as a bonus. May belongs to RosarianArt Ah yes, the crackhead nerds. I feel like their forms of PDA wouldn't be average; hence them just licking each other's faces until one of them quits the argument. Kids are watching you two D-: Inkjet belongs to SnowFall-13

70 Jelly - Frith
Observe, the jelly fetish pony about to take the plunge. You jelly? Dollars to doughnuts no one else took this gooey path! So far every one of my ponies has had a different coat colour, but most of them get blue eyes. In the gallery so far I see much romance... and Background Pony (39)! Yes Clarke Otterton, a most excellent book. ... RizDub also has the Jelly Pony (65)! Ha ha HA! But as a One True Pairing, so no doughnut. 8^D

72 Baby Dragon Love - James Stuart
75 Love at First Taste - SOENJAY
Mustang is not an alcoholic, he's just a... connoisseur. Or something like that. He's a little elated because up Nort' in Whinnysota the only local craft cider they got is "Winter Crisp" which is made from tart apples. Sure Sweet Apple Acres cider could be imported, but most of the locals prefer the extra bite of "Winter Crisp" to stave off the cold. Plus, there's something special about drinking it fresh from the farm where it was lovingly crafted.
