I got it for free thanks to that XL promo earlier this year, and have done a few lessons. It's very polished and beginner-friendly.

Pretty amazing stuff!
So this is just a free mode sketch pad with no art lessons like the 3DS version?

It's not free, but it's pretty cheap. 4 bucks.
edit: oh you mean like "free" drawing.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
So no lessons? Maybe DLC later on?
same. Oh well.

There's a "Lessons" (and "Gallery") button, but it says "coming soon". So yeah, DLC.

Here's a quick one i did on SketchPad.

Every time I see this... my mind is blown. The amount of detail is un-freaking-real. Whoever made this must have had some time on their hands.

I think the fact that all of this was done on the GamePad is amazing. I wouldn't be able to do anything like that.

I hope lessons come out soon, I tried drawing some of the built-in pictures last night and failed miserably. I am thinking of buying a DSi XL stylus to see if it helps me, I have a tough time using the tiny gamepad one.
Also, after constantly reading so much negative stuff about the Wii U, I want to say what a wonderful example this is of software + gamepad + Miiverse integration. It's really cool to look at what other people have made.

I think I would have a bit more accuracy if I could find my Theatrhythm stylus, which gives me a better grip for my large ass hands. :lol
that's bananas
Looks even better in it's quoted smaller size.

My first drawing:
I forgot to do the whites of his eyes. Bleh! But it's on the internet now, no turning back.
Also for some reason his skin tone looks darker/ashen on the computer.

Dream Team Luigi
Kirby and the Gang
Mega Man
Mega Man was my first artwork on this, but I think I can make some artwork that can surpass Luigi.

A Question for those who have used this, or the DS and 3DS versions:
After taking the lessons, were you able to carry and apply your newly-learned skills to drawing on paper with much ease? I imagine that it would be a goal for some people.
Miiverse has some very talented artists!! There were some Miyamoto and Iwata pictures earlier in this thread which left me genuinely and pleasantly stunned and amazed. Also, the Cat Mario, Tenki's Mikasa and Stormbringer's Wonderful 101 pictures were all very impressive.

A piece based on one of my favorite anime/manga series, Aku no Hana (The Flowers of Evil).
(Miiverse Link)
Okay, it is over, I am done, I give up.
This drawing is amazing.
Hopefully DLC lessons aren't way too far off. The handheld versions didn't interest me since the screen is just so small.
A little surprised you mentioned the anime version, haha. I caught up with the manga earlier this year.
If you liked Aku no Hana, I suggest Oyasumi Punpun if you haven't read it.

this seriously looks like artwork. Unfuckingbelieveable
You probably would be able to carry what they teach you and transfer it to real life, I guess. I've learnt a thing or two using the app. It does a decent job at introducing some techniques, so I figure you could use the knowledge on real life, yes. I never actually tried to draw the lessons on paper.
Just a little Minish Cap doodle I did the other day:
Nintendo ID: TomWright
Incidentally I am one of 'those guys' who did/does photo-realistic Miiverse pictures by checking out images in Photoshop and then painstakingly copying them pixel-by-pixel on to the gamepad. I'm loving how Art Academy is getting me back into 'proper' art, as I used to draw a lot but haven't done anything resembling an actual paper and pencil drawing in a loooong time. Also, having the ability to save your images and come back to them later is an absolute god-send - beforehand, if I was working on something pretty complicated I'd have to leave the Wii U on overnight and pray the wifi didn't cut out. Not anymore!

Just saw a post from Si. He got the message that he has too many things saved and couldn't save his current one. Someone pointed out the manual says you can only save 12 images at a time. I'm not that far fortunately, but I wouldn't have read the manual until I got to that point either. I never look at digital manuals (but love paper manuals for some reason). So not sure if it's been mentioned, but if you have 12 things in your portfolio already, might need to delete something to make room. Kind of disappointing. Wish it was based more on space you have available.
