This was originally drawn for the 2023 Newbie Artist Training Grounds.

Day 30: Draw a pony graduating / Draw a pony making their dreams come true.

Here we are at last, at the end of another year’s Training Grounds! I had a lot of fun this time around, as I did the last few times, and I hope you guys enjoyed seeing what I came up with this year, even if it was mainly OC-centric, lol

I drew literal graduation pics the first couple of times, but I decided to end this run with the conclusion of a mini story arc I had going through some of the prompts. After fumbling over his words the first time, Blaze finally works up the courage to start over with introducing himself to Pecan. To his joy, she reciprocates his greeting, and doesn’t hold his first attempt at talking to her against him. I think these two are gonna be all right. =)

And that concludes my entries for the Newbie Artist Training Grounds this year. Maybe this’ll inspire me to get in the habit of drawing more often. Daily prompts were a good motivation, but we’ll see where we go from here. =)
