This was my Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds submission for theme 19: Draw a pony in love.

I don’t really like to do shipping. I can’t say I actually really have anything against it (some of the cutest pictures other people draw are shipping) other than it’s just not my style most of the time. So instead, I interpretted the theme as the love shared between a tightly knit group of friends. I had a lot of fun experimenting with odd poses and expressions here and I was quite happy with how the faces in panel 4 turned out. Panel 3 was also a little tough to work out with toppled over Twilight. The final panel was rushed and is pretty rough, but I hope the d’aw factor makes up for that.
