2/9/2026 she Art on my Academy with such proficiency as to make it a Lesson For Everyone!
Puby dobg.
Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone! is an amazing game about being taught to paint by an old man named Vince while his beagle sleeps soundly and guitars sing from your 3DS speakers. This is why everyone with a DS console should hack it. I hacked my New 2DS XL and it was arduous because I am stupid. It was the best decision I have ever made.
The man himself.
My first painting from 2024.
In his lessons, Vince teaches you to sketch and paint in a variety of
different styles. I have not made it far in the game, so I've mostly
done still life lessons. The canvas and function of the media (paints,
pastels, pencils, etc.) replicates real life relatively accurately -
there's no undo button, for example. Paints streak and mix with one
another if you brush a certain way.
I love Vince dearly. I love his real passion for art. Sometimes I mistrust him - sometimes I try to make my painting look more realistic, more pleasing to my own eye. But his paintings almost always look better than mine in the end. Sometimes in the middle of a lesson he will lecture about color theory or Mexican folk art. When you see him put his glasses on and a "skip" button on the bottom screen, you know he's about to drop some wisdom. He's so fucking cool.
The GOAT.
The music of the game is so unimaginably touching to me. This piece is my absolute favorite:
Fuck. I love classical guitar so much. I could cry to this music. Just listen to this one:(By the way, I am going to bring K-pop into this. The bridge of "ASAP" by STAYC sounds very similar to an "Art Academy" piece:
It sort of has a similar soundfont.)
I probably should have been working today, but instead I was finishing up a painting of avocados.
