As another day closes it would appear the secrets of many of our good ponies have been spilled! However will they be able to live these down now? While our ponies busily come up with their cover stories the show must go on as we enter the fifth day of the NATG! Hard to believe we're already five days in, isn't it? Pony time just flies on by!
So far you all have gotten a taste of experimenting with poses, action and emotions in this NATG. But the thing about ponies is that we know they don't do well alone and like to share their adventures with others. That's why with tonight's prompt I want you to stretch your limits a bit more by hopefully bringing at least another pony into the mix if you haven't already in another prompt. To do so I want you to Draw a pony making a friend / Draw a pony patching things up.
With another day finished we brought in a lovely 108 ponies, which now brings our total up to 505 ponies! Keep soldiering on everyone!

14 NATG XI Day 4: Secret Gift - AceBlazewing
I decided to draw this second one in answer to the first half of the prompt, and since it's my birthday on the 6th, if my OC, Blazewing, was in Equestria, Pinkie would be sure to commit to memory, as she does for everypony, and hide his gift in the most secure place she knows. =P

Quite happy with the idea for this one. I feel more comfortable with muzzles and mouths lately, and the anatomy is not too bad. Still lacking in detail, though.

41 Lost Soul - Stone39
A lot of ponies in my stable have secrets. Sapphire's is probably one of the deepest, because she herself doesn't know what secrets lie in her history. Tangled up in such a way where she just tries to live, even if that means changing her name.

Looks like someone has a hobby she's somewhat embarrassed about. But don't worry, you shouldn't be embarrassed about liking cute/cuddly things.

57 NATG Day 4: Smolder and Spike's Secret - Cynac
Awkward.......(sorry guys, nothing wrong with what you're doing here) Anyway, this is for the Newbie Artists training Ground Day 4: Draw a pony with a secret / Draw a pony cracking under pressure! D...or in this case dragons. (Must fix and color this in one day) I seriously need to go back and finish/correct/improve all of these submissions some point in the future. To be honest, I've been having a difficult time keeping up since I'm seriously slow at drawing and that I'm also dealing with some IRL issues here, which I am ploughing through per say, but it's been a bit of a struggle although I am coping with it fine.

62 It was so much nicer back in the egg - Termyotter
Pony under pressure... Hey! You've just deposed the evil queen and taken your people back. It's all easy after that right? No pressure, right? Right? RIGHT?!!! I mean just a few teeny tiny things on the to-do list. Teeny changes like creating brand new systems of government with no help from the previous ruler(s), cleaning up their mistakes, and somebuggy that's never been in charge of anything before. Totally low stress!

63 Dashie's secret hobby - Spellbound Canvas
I thought, why not do both. As you can see here, Rainbow Dash has a secret hobby of putting on make up and sissy girly dresses as a way of keeping in touch of her feminine side. Perhaps she is paranoid that her secret is out. Note: this is technically unfinished, I do plan on adding shading and a background.

69 NATG XI - Day 4: Three Fillies with Secrets - CMC_Scootaloo
Day 4! On Day 1 I drew Scootaloo, on Day 2 I drew Applebloom, on Day 3 I drew Sweetie Belle and now on Day 4 I bring them all together! Crusader Trio! A trio of fillies with secrets. They might not be their own secrets, but they know many, many secrets. They even know a secret about you! Better close your curtains, because the Cutie Mark Crusaders are around as investigative journalists!

Valentino the gangster is in a 'secret' relationship with his lead mare Cloud Gazer. They both don't really tell anyone in case it offends some of the members of their staff. They make every quiet moment together count that's for sure ^.^

77 Mood - SamuDash
Today's prompt definitely reminded me of myself lately, so I just drew my own OC being in a little Fluttershy mood and cracking under the pressure. I did it rather quickly because I didn't feel all too motivated and wanted to avoid feeling any pressure myself today.

I'd recommend that you run, but it's already too late. Did anypony else think of drawing a pony smoking a crack pipe? Oh Moonfire's Twilight (51) is hilarious!

The compressed version of my entry to NATG 4, I decided to do a piece of Prince DuskShine and his daughter Pandemonium who is believed to be Butterscotch's daughter lucky resemblance eh? .. Except for the odd stripes in her hair.. that grow to be more prominent once she grows older. .. Hm she has questions...

89 PSPony with a Switch! - Note WIse
Twitter: @NoteWise1 Soundcloud: Note Wise Draw a Pony with a secret! Don't tell the other console ponies..but PSPony got herself a Switch and she's very excited to play it! I didn't have a lot of time to color this, but I'm glad I was able to play with perspective and background living spaces at least. I usually just wing it with my pony designs, especially when I don't feel i have a lot of time to be able to submit after a long day of work. But I'm gonna get better and hopefully quicker to put out full colored! Thank you for all the support so far, I really appreciate it all <3 Note Wise

103 Downgrade? - SazerLite
I quickly realized that making an animation with a fully formed pony every day would be too much for me. So, I decided to press down on Motion Capture and give him a more crude, simplified look. Don't worry. It didn't hurt him... much.
