Well everyone, you've made it! While your training is still in progress even the longest journey deserves some rest every once and awhile. As I mentioned, one of the lessons to learn while learning to do art is to know when to take breaks and not let yourself burn out. Nothing stops the artist process more often than being exhausted from your efforts so don't feel bad if you have to skip a prompt or two to take care of yourself!
With that said, welcome to your first Makeup Day! You can use this time to relax, catch up on any prompts you missed or, if you're particularly ambitious, try some of our prompts all over again if you had more than one idea for them! Check after the break for all of our past prompts!
As for the numbers, we brought in 75 ponies today, which bring us up to 1048 ponies in total! We made it over the 1k mark! Congrats everyone!
For our mobile friends trying to upload, try this:
Once you have the image uploaded to Twitter, DeviantArt, wherever try this Touch and hold the image. Depending on what browser you’re using, select the image URL by tapping the links below:
Chrome: Copy link address
Safari: Copy
If that doesn't work, you can Touch and Hold an image, open it in a new tab and the URL of that tab should be what you're looking for.
Use that URL in the compiler for your image. Hopefully that works!
Max Image Resolution is 2000x2000! Resize your pictures to make sure they are the appropriate size, any image software should be able to help you.
Animations do not animate when sent through the compiler! Include some text with your submitted animation that people should follow your links to the source to see the animation in full.
Remember, our compiler for the old prompt is up a few hours even after this post goes up with the new prompt so feel free to submit your submission to the previous day's submitter!
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 drew a pony *about* to hit the road. Literally. Will probably digitize this one eventually but yeah, definitely feeling artist fatigue a little bit at this point.

The prompt for day 10 is Draw a pony on a journey / Draw a pony hitting the road. Well Desert Daydream fits that theme just well! The young colt left home at the age of 7 with his Lizard pal Dim as a traveling merchant, following in his father's hoofsteps.

Decided to follow-up the two I did for Day 8 (#43). Also decided to cover all the suggestions. Both are on a journey to Argent's (hippogriff) home. They're hitting the road literally and figuratively. Oh, and they're on a 'Journey' ( "Any Way You Want It" by Journey).

Off on a new journey/adventure, though not with the greatest of companions. Not quite how I wanted it, but it's as good as I can make it, I think.

61 Hitting the Road - SOENJAY
Yea, this was a very literal interpretation of the prompt today. I was chaperoning an event tonight, got home late, and didn't have much time to draw something substantial. At least I tried making the pose a bit dynamic?

This pony is totally tripping (on her mane) and hitting the road! Ouchie! The hooves and legs are giving me a lot of trouble. Let's see if I can get them into shape. Horse ears are just so dratted fluffy. No wonder I can't get a fix on a shape under all the fluff.

Now we know what it took all along. And our journey here is never really done. For it is more than just a mark. It's a place for us to start. An adventure that has only just begun.
