Information

An art learning game for the Nintendo DS, based on the lessons in the DSiWare titles Art Academy: First Semester and Art Academy: Second Semester. The step-by-step tutorials on materials and art theory are provided by cartoon artist Vince.

The player is guided through the art of sketching and painting using a variety of materials, pencils, brushes and paints, all replicated on the Nintendo DS touch screen. The player can mix their own colour combinations using the 10 paints available on a custom palette, as well as control the wetness and amount of paint on the brush to allow for a variety of different effects.

Nintendo DSi users can also take photos using the DSi Camera to capture images and store them in a reference library for drawing later.
