And where that journey has gotten us today is 81 ponies which adds up to 507 ponies in total. Keep going, everyone!
As we end our first week, I feel like our artists have had a decent enough time being able to draw at least one pony consistently. While single ponies are great, to broaden their range it is always good to be able to draw more than one as well as their interactions with each other and considering our fandom has had a long history with shipping I think I know of a suitable prompt: Draw a pony experiencing love at first sight / Draw a pony falling for someone.

12 Distress and Dissonance - EveryDayDashie
The more I kept thinking about her lyrical singing voice at this very instance, the more I begrudged and envied a gifted talent like this. The Earth is massive, and we human beings are small, but glitter is even smaller, perhaps microscopically tiny. Despite catching glimpses and attention with that shiny coating ranging in a spectrum of colors, no matter how big we become or how glaring we reflect under the sunlight, the sparkles of these metallic fragments on the floor only end up being stepped on by ponies and blatantly ignored. I knew saying this was a hard feeling, but as much as I attempted to hone and showcase my musical crafts, I could only remain passive and defeated as the little glitter on the floor, lustrous but weak and disconsolate. Perhaps the stage is way too big for a tiny glitter like me, a little pony like me, spiraling in the seemingly never-ending black hole of agony and envy for artists. I wanted to do what I could to make a legacy, despite missing my mark...

16 A Cookie Crumblin' Victory - Mintwhistle
I had many ideas for this prompt, one of which involved Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle successfully stealing a cookie jar. In the end, I drew Spike winning a gem-encrusted trophy and a lifetime supply of cookies! Hooray!

21 Buckball Practice - Ebony Crystal
It was about a week before the start of Buckball season and everypony was excited for it, well, almost everypony. Snails, the star player of Ponyville's team had a run of bad luck when he ended up with a broken leg and was put out of commission for the season under Nurse Redheart's orders. Rainbow Dash reassured him that they'd find a new player to replace him, and they did, with Ebony of all ponies. She was more than a bit nervous about it, especially never having played Buckball before, that and Rainbow having gotten a bit in her face about the experience, but thankfully the pegasus dialed it back a bit, having remembered Fluttershy and Pinkie's first time, and encouraged her to just go out there and have fun. After all, that's what the name of the game is all about!

23 What in tarnation?! - mafon2
Someone's triumph might be someone else's agony, *** The unknown pony is my old OC, whose purpose in life is making awful apple hybrids and mutants. She's AJ's worst nightmare.

29 Blue Ribbon - Soobel
At young age had Cloudie Brilliant very poor health. She suffered hearth diseases and obesity. Getting older, her heart healed but metabolic diseases stay. She had hard time to work out and control her weight until began enjoying morning workouts at every day. Mostly just running some miles around Ponyville. But weight was hard to lost and she stays chubby. But Endurance and strenght got better and better... Rodeo racing are not just for speed, but mostly for endurance and strenght and she always taking part on rodeos, when she have time. Cloudie Brilliant is one of the rare unicorns who won Blue Ribbon at Equestria Rodeo.

39 Lyra's Draw - Aethereus Entropy
Lyra has been trying to draw hands for a long time, however, all previous infinite attempts have resulted in failure. However, perseverance eventually leads to things happening. Lyra has shown you her drawing, congratulate her! PS: Why is it so difficult to draw hands!?

45 Victory! - Lili Dash!
It's a dark day for the Crystal Empire, with Sombra shattering the Crystal Heart and bringing about a new era of terror. The shadowy castle in the background is meant to be the Crystal Castle, I'm trying to get better with backgrounds. I also tried to stick more closely to Sombra's design in the show, hence why he does not have visible ears unlike most times I draw him.

47 The Cost of the Crown - Alyssa Rice
Before Darby became an Alicorn princess, she believed that the royals have the freedom to do whatever they want. But the moment she gained her wings and crown, she realized that it's much more difficult than she anticipated. Thanks to therapy, however, she is able to live her life while taking on the duties as one.

63 Bunny Ball Fling - Frith
The mutant legless rabbits on Zephyr Heights must make great balls. Ergo, a favorite G5 pegasus pastime, the discus/shot put rabbit fling. I doubt those bunnies land on their feet, what little they have that passes for feet, that is. More likely, they experience the agony of the head. They're pretty much all head.

76 Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII - Day 6: Why, the Agony! - CMC_Scootaloo
This prompt was perfect to draw the :fillerwhy: emote of the "MareQuest" Discord server. This anger emote that expresses pure agony is my favourite emote of the server and when I saw the prompt, I had to make a tribute for it. Drawn for Day 6 of the Newbie Artist Training Grounds and the prompt: Draw a pony playing a sport / Draw a pony experiencing the bliss of triumph or the agony of defeat.

77 Pace-setter Pone - phallen1
Patch is like me, very much out of shape for running. Each race, especially a race you've run before, is ultimately a race against yourself. Finishing is its own goal but your opponent is yourself.
