Sometimes when you are trying something new or just trying your best to challenge yourself it's best to keep an optimistic attitude and try your very best to shoot for the best you can do! Shoot for the stars and eventually, you be able to catch one for your effort.
As for today's haul, we managed to bring in 59 ponies which brings us up to 722 ponies in total! Keep on keeping on my pony friends, you've got this!
Much like how you should be pushing yourself as hard as you can, it can be quite scary to do so. Sometimes it feels like you're exploring some lost ruins with no idea where you are, but with careful diligence, you can discover the secrets you seek. That's why for today's theme I'd like you to Draw a pony exploring a place lost to legend / Draw a pony off the beaten path.

17 The Movement of the Stars - Star
Time and time, the stars align. They show what once was. What happened because of the movement of the stars. The cosmic dance of the quasars. yet here now again a remembrances of when it began. It hurts to think of what was, the cosmic dust that shows my flaws. Of what could have been if I was able to start again.

Waanya, having stolen and corrupted a wizard's contemplative orb, and despite the common knowledge that Nightmare Moon was prophesised to fail, will make whatever deal with the stars it takes to try and thwart Princess Celestia's preparations.

31 NATG XIV Day 11: Humble Beginnings - AceBlaewing
I feel like the journey to earn one's cutie mark is a pony's equivalent to reaching for the stars. At times, it feels confusing, difficult, maybe even impossible, but you don't want to give up, because you know that when you finally earn it, it'll all be worth it. Even if the way you earn it isn't grandiose or spectacular, it's still meaningful, because that mark represents who you are. =)

35 Stopped - Frith
Perhaps I should have stood an inert pony figurine on a blank page of my sketchbook, taken a picture et voila! A pony stopped at nothing. That's art! But this works too and drawing the pone from behind is hard, yo! The mane and tail hiding all the shaky details helps.
