Pokemon Art Academy is a Nintendo 3DS drawing game that teaches players how to sketch and paint Pokemon through 40 lessons. You play as a student at the Pokemon Art Academy under Professor Andy, starting with simple shapes and moving on to shading, blending and full illustrations.
What do you learn in the lessons?
The lessons build from basic outlines and colouring to more advanced techniques such as shading and blending. Each lesson focuses on a different Pokemon, and the game introduces the tools you need as you progress.
Can you draw outside the lessons?
Yes. Free painting lets you create your own artwork, and finished drawings can be saved to an SD card as JPEG images and printed. The game is a single-player experience.
Does online sharing still work?
No. The game's online sharing used Miiverse, and Nintendo ended the Miiverse service on 7 November 2017. Local wireless sharing between nearby systems and saving to an SD card still work, so the drawing lessons remain fully usable offline.
