CSM - In ten somewhat lengthy lessons (plus a number of quicker mini-lessons), ART ACADEMY will make you a better artist. Starting with the basics of line drawing, and moving on to shading, mixing colors, and everything in between, your virtual tutor Vince (a Leonardo Da Vinci lookalike) will not only tell you how to hone your artistic skills, he will also demonstrate, stroke-for-stroke, how to do everything. Once you've got all the various techniques under your belt, you can create art as you will -- saving pictures to your gallery, adorned by the frame of your choice.
— Nintendo Enthusiast:
I've seen a lot of folks make requests for all sorts of different games on the Switch. But, what I haven’t seen is a request for something that I guess should be considered to be more of an application than a game. I’m talking about Art Academy. The series got its start on the original DS all the way back in 2009. There have been subsequent releases on the 3DS and also the Wii U, with the latest entry being from 2016. The Art Academy series appeals to a very niche demographic, but it must definitely have captured enough people’s attention for there to be seven entries so far. I’d love to see an eighth one on the Nintendo Switch; it would arguably be the best version yet.
Nintendo is hosting a "Fresh Pics" Splatoon drawing event on Miiverse, and the game's development team will choose their favorite three submissions.
A Splatoon drawing event will be held for owners of Art Academy on Wii U to honor Satoru Iwata, with official details coming this Friday.
