Enhance your artistic skills with the painting and drawing game Art Academy. Using the platform's touchscreen, this Nintendo DS game allows you to effortlessly paint or draw with virtual paints or pencils. Art Academy widens your artistic horizon by offering you three different grades of lead pencils, an eraser, paintbrushes, ten paint tubes, and 20 empty spaces to mix and create your own colors. Thanks to the Free Paint mode in this painting and drawing game, you can let your imagination go wild and enjoy freestyle work. Guided by the tutor Vince, this Nintendo DS game lets you learn theories and techniques of art. What's more, some of the lessons taught in Art Academy are from the likes of artists such as Paul Cezanne, Leonardo da Vinci, giving you a sea of useful artistic knowledge.
I have purchsed 2 DS Art Academy products; one for myself and another for my niece. I have found that I can draw with a little help - the step by step guides are very helpful for someone like me who thought that they could only do abstract. I may not be a brilliant artist but I have discovered that still life drawings can be fun, haven't quite mastered the animals yet but with a little practice and patience I may be able to improve - can't seem to get the eyes right at the moment. Flowers and landscapes also included in the package are a little easier as are some of the birds and sealife. I will continue to use this to improve my technique - the best part is that I can always delete what I have drawn and start the lessons again.
