Want to learn how to draw your favorite Pokémon on Nintendo 3DS and take it to pen and paper later? Your adventure can begin thanks to Nintendo's release of Pokémon Art Academy, which will be available this fall for Nintendo 3DS users. This series will allow players to take up to 40 unique and aspiring lessons on how to paint, sketch, and even draw their favorite Pokémon characters in 3D using this unique illustration title, which uses 2D. Players can also use the Pokémon Art Academy to share their digital masterpieces with the world or take those unique illustrations to their canvas or paper of choice.

Official Information:

The Art Academy series made its debut on Nintendo DS in 2009, offering a comprehensive virtual art studio with a variety of realistically behaving art materials. Wield the stylus with tactile precision on the Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 2DS touch screen to use a plethora of paint, pencils and pastels. A hallmark of the Art Academy franchise is its easy-to-follow lessons with step-by-step guides that teach painting and drawing techniques. A friendly tutor takes students of all ages through these lessons, each of which breaks down complex-looking images into simple steps. Gradually, players pick up more new techniques that allow anyone to create artwork they can be proud of. Pokémon Art Academy boasts 40 lessons in which players can encounter favorite Pokémon from throughout the series, such as Pikachu, Oshawott, Charizard, Torchic, Fletchling and Fennekin.

“The Pokémon characters themselves are among the most endearing and enduring aspects of the Pokémon video games, with everyone having their own favorite,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Pokémon Art Academy lets fans deepen their connection with these iconic characters by providing detailed lessons teaching how to draw them on their Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 2DS in a straightforward and enjoyable way.”
