Wii U User Reviews

5/10 Art Academy Sketch Pad is a great design app but that's right an app not a game + Material variety + User interface + Smooth controls - No lessons - No easy to save the drawings - Feels like it is incomplete - Not worth the price - Lacks game elements

I was a little disappointed with this. It's still a good drawing tool, but the version on the Nintendo DS is much better. The load times are slow, and as of today there still aren't any art tutorials. It is nice to let my kids draw on the TV, and it's only $4. I'm not sure why it takes several minutes to load.

Its essentially an art academy for already experienced artists. Anyone new to art academy or drawing in general will have nothing to gain from this, as there are no tutorials or lessons at all. Its strictly for the enthusiast, and for what it does there, it does well.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. At the moment, there are no tutorials or guides implemented, but they will be added soon. It's fun to draw, especially with the Miiverse integration. You feel rewarded because of the feedback you would receive online. There are quite a few tools to use, and it requires a lot of technique to master the tools.

This is a great little app that provides drawing enthusiasts a canvas to create on. Art Academy boasts a slew of different colors and utensils to draw with. I was hesitant by the lack of content at first, but I found myself consistently revisiting this app to draw new pieces of art. I look forward to Nintendo's promised updates which are to include drawing lessons. If you enjoy drawing pics onto the Miiverse, this cheap app is for you.
