Description My submission for NATG VIII: Day 11!

Today's prompt was "Draw a pony mingling / Draw a pony being a social butterfly." And I just could not keep myself away from the social "butterfly" pun. Or Fluttershy literally being social with butterflies, heheh. Her friends are clearly a small bit concered for her. In my head they were going off to a social event and then Fluttershy disapeared and was found socialising with the butterflies instead. Not that I blame her, butterflies are nice, they never have something nasty to say about you!
And if you couldn't tell, that one extra-detailed butterfly is supposed to be a Monarch Butterfly. They're my favourite kind of butterfly, so I couldn't help myself to put one in, heheh

So I thought I'd try my hoof at doing a background! And I think it came out pretty descently. I did start pretty early in the day with this one, since I wanted to try a background. Still only just finished near the deadline, though, haha! I think I draw a bit slow when it comes to digital; but I'm still making time, so it's fine
And I'm mostly happy overall as well. Surprisingly, or perhaps not, this actually has me feeling like I have little to say on it, haha! Though, drawing those manes from behind was a small bit tricky, and I feel Dashie's looks perhaps a little bit wrong, though I'm not sure. But it still looks alright, I reckon. And I nearly forgot all extra pony limbs (wings or horns) in this image! I had Fluttershy's wings in my sketch, but forgot to do it until last; and Rainbow's wings and Twilight's horn weren't even in my sketch at all! It was a good thing I spotted that I'd forgot them before I'd finished, haha xD

As a kinda-sorta reply to the comment from previous drawing - if you dropped out of uni, you could make a career as an illustrator. No joking, every time I see your digital drawings for ATG I'm amazed by the quality. The background here is beautiful, Fluttershy's pose and Twi's expression are spot-on, the Monarch is lovely. <3 I can't wait to see how good you'll get at the end of this ATG. And after that, you should definitely start drawing regularly, it would be a shame to waste your talent. <3


I can't blame Fluttershy here, it's something I would definitely do, like leave a party because there are kittens somewhere nearby. XD

Haha, awe Thank you for the compliment, Kii; that's some high praise.
That backhoof of Flutter's still bugs me a bit, though! Haha. But it guess it's all part of the larning process.
Awwe, you're too kind I think I will try to draw more. One thing this NATG has been doing is it's been making be feel more confidant about my drawing capability; sometimes I won't draw because I'm aprehensive that I won't be able to do it just so. But I feel like doing lots of drawings where that fact isn't a priority really helps.

Haha, for sure! xD I can totally picture that from you.
