Getting fancy up in here with some GIF action it seems! You guys always push things to the limit each and every year and it just makes every new day all the more exciting. Keep it up everyone and who knows what wonderful things we'll see over the next several weeks!
Numerically I know that means we brought in 155 ponies tonight bringing us up to a two day total of 330 ponies! Glad to see you all keeping pace!
So, now that we've gotten our ponies up and moving I bet they are a little bit confused about what they should be doing in their drawn little worlds, right? Much like how the NATG is here to provide a bit of a guide and encouragement I think our ponies all need that too. So for tonight's prompt I'd like you all to Draw a pony seeking guidance/Draw a pony in need of schooling.
As always you can find our submitter here.
Remember, our compiler is up a few hours even after this post goes up so feel free to submit your submission to our submitter!

1 Very Literal - AskWaffles
4 Lance Ponestrong - Arkadios
Cutie mark is based on Livestrong's ubiquitous wristbands. Everything else is meant to be as generic as possible.
6 Kickflip - phallen1
Dash can do a kick-flip easily. Fluttershy can barely even stand on the skateboard without falling off.
12 Breakdance - Pixel Grip
First thing that came to my mind when reading “draw a pony showing their moves� was Vinyl breakdancing at a club. Tried to experiment a bit with lighting on this one, particularly with the glow bracelets and spotlights.
14 - Kiev
17 Rainbow Dash takes flight - Daimando
For this entry, I decided to do something tricky and have Rainbow Dash flying in the air with the Sonic Rainboom in effect.
Of course, this was also an excuse to practice drawing pony butts.

"Ya'll, if ya WANNA SEE CINDERELLA AND ELENA, it's THAT WAY!!!! ya go OVER THERRREE!!!"
20 Set Thrusters to fun! - LizardWithHat
Yeah, what it say on the tin: Sweetie Bot showing of with her new and improved thrusters by heat-raying Trixies test-cups.
Hope the whole speechbubble thing is within regulations.
This is fun :3

28 NATG (on ED) {2} - Apple Needle
31 Your Move - ATG 2019 #2 - Bright Idea
First time drawing Cozy Glow, really had fun with this prompt.
35 - IfFoundReturnToRarity
41 Waste no chance for a cool prance! - LennyStendhal13
OC: Jambalaya
He's such a narcissistic boy. When I read the words "showing off" in the prompt, I knew I had to draw him.

44 Quesadilla Nightmare - Friendship is Horses
Does that look like a quesadilla? Is it even possible to draw a quesadilla that someone could look at and say "oh, yeah. I know what THAT is" with supreme confidence? I don't know, I don't even eat them. I had to google image search it.
45 You can also use the swipe feature - Ragmo
Don't just push each number seperatly; you can use the swipe feature to dial - she loves bellyrubs
47 Banana Ephone - Gary Mitchelhill (Rapidsnap)
Sandbar and Gallus lost a bet with the 4 girls and now they have to help promote the Banana Ephone
51 - Ashtoneer
55 NATG 2019 Day 2 Pony Showing Off Her Moves - tallaferroxiv
Decided to do another pose from the fighting Lyra I did earlier.
57 Twi showing off her moves - PonyButtExpress / Kuri
I threw this together while trying not to fall asleep at my desk.
73 When Ain't She Showing Off? - SallinDaemon
“And then I’m gonna, like, dive through that cloudbank and it’s gonna go like, p-chew! It’ll be epic.�
80 Holiday - Nicole H
performing at Live Aid, 1985
87 NATG #2 - Diamond06mlp
I decided on a simple flat drawing for this prompt (mostly because I couldn’t figure out what color of shading to use).
99 Bad Dance King - Allonsbro
You can't dance, you can't jive
But you're havin' the time of your li-i-ife
See that boy, what a scene!
He wins the bad dance king
Twilight had to get her dancing style from somewhere.

101 Twilight Catching a Pretzel - SupermarineSpitfire
Since the My Little Pony Reddit community celebrates Pretzel Day today, I had to include a pretzel somewhere in the drawing. Imagine that Rainbow Dash tossed a pretzel in the air for Twilight to catch.
104 Fiesta Hits The Rubber Chicken Dance - Pone-Dancer
Being Cheese Sandwich's son, Fiesta Peach Pie has inherited many bizarre abilities, and 'The Rubber Chicken' is one of them. He only uses this dance move to cheer up his friends. Willow Whisper did not expect it to actually work.
106 Cruel Blows - Justin K
"Like these moves? I practiced them on your friends."
107 ATG IX Day II - RizDub
I very nearly drew a ceiling mobile for this one. My next idea was just Tender Taps doing that knee slide after a dance, but it didn't feel like it worked. Thus, Apple Bloom joins him.
113 Racing Day - Bombom13
I'm trying a more line-less approach to shading. Not perfect by any stretch, but decent for a couple hour effort.
118 - sharpshadow
125 Skating pro - Wolfy
Autumn in motion. at least trying anyway...
128 Fly - Caneighdian
Played around with some of the motion effects in Procreate. Since I started from a previous sketch, I had more time to work on background and effects than yesterday. Hope you like it!
129 Trixie trying to be Starlight - Mister Twister
This is about 3x3 inches, or 9x9 centimeters big. Yes, I can ink with a brush pen at this scale.
131 - Redenaz
Using a mobile phone
132 Hoopy Moves - Pone-Dancer
Birch Bark is not your typical one-trick pony. His talents include sword swallowing, agility, snake charming, and of course high in the sky aerobatics! He prefers the simple hoop with no net to catch his fall, but he doesn't mind trying the trapeze.
134 Starlight Is Now Mobile! - Gossamer & Morning Dew
I got way to ambitious with this. I will not be overextending myself like this for a while (hopefully).
136 Ebony's Dance Lesson - EbonyCrystal1986
Ebony was always a bit of a wallflower in public, even during the dance at the School of Friendship, but she was still curious about the Yakyakistan Stomp after seeing everypony else having a lot of fun with it, so one day after classes were over and she and Yona were getting to know each other better, she asked the yak if she could teach her how to do it, and of course, she was more than happy to do so. Ebony was slow at first, but after a while she saw just how much fun dancing could be, memories of dancing with her father when she was a filly flooding back as she got into it, Yona having proven to be a VERY good teacher indeed!
137 Fruit Mobile - FcrestNymph
138 NATG IX: Day 2 (Skyrazer flossing) - Squeaky_Belle
Entry for Artist Training Grounds IX: Day 2
Drawing a mobile pony / Drawing a pony showing off his moves
It's supposed to be an epic flossing dance (because that's what I have been reduced to these days).

143 Glory-ous Speed - SazerLite
147 Sally Francorchamps shows off her moves - TaichiKeaton
And in car #9, it's the speedster filly Sally Francorchamps taking the lead in the Ponyville Derby!
148 NATG IX - 2 - RhythmPixel
Certainly showing off, but not so much moving. There is a small mobile horse in there though.
152 Going Mobile - Frith
It's a Calder mobile pony! Or a pony mobile. At least it's mobile. So I'm back to waiting until the deadline looms large. At least that way i don't have to wait to see what the next prompt will be.
155 Natg 9 - (showing off her moves) - Roderick JE
It’s not clear, but Applejack (non-lethally) blew up a monstrous menace! Trust me, it was a crazy battle?
