"Learn to draw and paint step-by-step, with a wide range of materials, in Art Academy: Atelier, only for Wii U. Use realistic techniques via the Wii U GamePad touch screen, then curate a virtual gallery, share your creations via Miiverse, and even upload videos of your work to YouTube*!

With your friendly guide, Vince, you’ll progress through a series of fun, step-by-step lessons, each focusing on a different technique. Learn the theory, then watch Vince demonstrate each technique, before applying your new skill with the GamePad and stylus! When you’re satisfied with your piece, move on to the next lesson. You can take a break whenever you want, then resume the lesson later, all at your own pace.

There’s a wide choice of materials to work with. Pencils include monochrome and coloured ranges, from soft to hard, and there is a Graphite Stick, a Pastel Set or a Charcoal Set, plus erasers for altering your piece. If you prefer paint, indulge yourself in 27 colours, and mix up to 96 hues on your palette! You can dilute with water, and even remove paint with a rag. Picking the right medium is important, too, and as well as raw canvas, you can use three types of textured paper. There are various aids, like a grid to guide composition, zooms for detailed work, and a Colour Wheel to match hues from a reference image, plus, if you discover an unfamiliar term, simply consult the Glossary!

You can also view your art in the Portfolio, save to an SD card for printing and sharing from a computer, and even walk round the Gallery in first-person perspective to check out your masterpieces! So, whether you’re a fan of classical realism or prefer abstract expressionism, you’ll find everything you need to nurture your inner artist in Art Academy: Atelier, exclusively for Wii U.

• Create beautiful art using the Wii U GamePad touch screen, then share your masterpiece direct to Miiverse!
• Learn the theory, watch how it’s done, before applying the technique through friendly, step-by-step lessons
• Immortalise your still life, model or landscape subject with pencils, paints, charcoals and more

I'd buy it if I could draw.
Seriously, how can some people draw that stuff on the gamepad? :O

Looks great, I hope it does well enough for developers to be happy and make profit, because it really really works and the timelapse feature is awesome!!!

Edit: Honestly, it works. Over holidays 4 years ago I played my cousins DS game and did about 3 lessons. Came to school and improved a lot in art from last year's grades and actually became the best in art in my year (although just) since I got a end of year certificate for that. Dem 5 hours tought me more than any of my art teachers!

I can't draw so I won't be getting this, but it's really nice to see what other people can do

Looks sick.

If only I could draw.

If only I could draw

Still good news for those who can, always nice to see what people can do with this software.

I've got Art Academy, it's one of the best apps on any system right now.

But that's the point! It teaches you how to draw.

I'm so getting this "game".

I would buy it!

Don't get those posts:

"If i could draw, i would get a game that teachs how to draw"

I'm still trying to do the ds version and if you don't do often, you forget a lot pretty quickly, in my case. But i think that will be easier to draw in bigger screen.
