Under the watchful eye of Vince, you'll paint, draw and pastel your way through thirty lessons, gradually taking in the concepts, theories and techniques you'll need to create some surprisingly good masterpieces - even if you've never picked up a paintbrush before. So, imagine our surprise when a press release for a new Wii U Art Academy landed in our inbox yesterday, detailing a game we'd given up for dead a long time ago.

Extra downloadable lessons teaching you how to draw various Nintendo characters were promised, but likewise those disappeared into the ether, never to be heard from again. Unfortunately, like a few too many Wii U games, the promised package was soon quietly delayed, put back and seemed to eventually fall off the radar all together after the release of the pared down, doodle pad app, Art Academy: Sketchpad in 2013. Given the GamePad's jumbo-sized Touch Screen, it should come as little surprise that Nintendo figured the Wii U would make the perfect platform for a new Art Academy game - an artsy-focused title which aims to teach people the basics of drawing. Hopefully the lessons included would allow me to atleast improve to a level where I could use the draw option if necessary and not have the image be absolutely dreadful and embarrassing.Beautiful hand-drawn horizons, to be precise. I wonder if this will be included within the planned Wii U Art Academy games. I've never used the draw option in Miiverse because I'm horrible at art.

I think free use of color would ruin this effect. It recalls the scribbles people do to remember something or draw in the margins of notes, which fits with Miiverse. There is something very nice about even bad drawings in Miiverse in black and white form. If it was free and unrestricted everyone would be using color in their doodles no matter the level of drawing. Color drawings would kind of jump out a bit too much. The art in Miiverse is great but since there isn't a dedicated art community for each game these advance pieces of art always seem a bit at odds with the scribbles, notes and screenshots that are quick manifestations of reactions to games. I'm kind of happy it isn't free and available in all communities. And I can't imagine the toll that would take on Nintendo's storage systems. Adding 320x120 Art Academy thumbnails to even half of my activity feed would be a noticeable degradation. Meaning 50-60 times longer to download, and 50-60 times more space on a hard drive. So roughly 50-60 times larger than the B&W Miiverse shots.
By comparison, the screenshots are jpeg and stored around 250-300KB.

It also means these images will download quickly on almost any device/connection. If users posted ONE BILLION images to Miiverse, it would take up a mere 5TB. They are sent as indexed PNG files, and as such at a file size of roughly 5KB. at black and white low resolution images, the Miiverse drawing-posts are extremely inexpensive. If they were making this free I could see a better chance of that. I simply couldn't see Nintendo (or any of the manufacturers) doing that. Essentially people would have to pay $4 for a Miiverse upgrade. There are likely multiple issues with what you are suggesting (though I admit it would be cool also).ġ.
