Once more, the Newbie Artist Training Grounds happen on EQD and this year, I will participate more proper again!  
My goal is again to draw a picture for each day and prompt and since I’m feeling more secure in drawing ponies lately and have also gotten faster at it, I am confident that I will make it this year!
 
 
The prompt for Day 1 is Draw a pony standing/Draw a pony frozen in place. I knew immediately what I am going to draw once my eyes fell on the prompt….. I am participating in the Equestria Games in “Legends of Equestria” that happen for the first time this year, so I went and drew Scoots in the uniform of her team, Team Cloudsdale!  
The coloring got a little sloppy towards the end, cause it’s late here and I was getting tired, but overall, I am happy with it how this picture turned out.  
Drawing this was a bit more challenging than I thought it would be, but since it’s the first day, I am okay with this. Nothing wrong about starting with a bang, especially not if best pony gets drawn for the first day. <3  
For the other days, I will stick to simpler drawings, though.
