Topic: Any "serious" users of Art Academy and Flipnote Studio on here?

Dru - I sent you a note

Hey good idea. I should upload my stuff on Deviantart, too. I had a Deviantart site for so long and never uploaded anything so I deleted it two days ago but immediately made a new one Now I have something to upload.

Hey,

I'm one of the people who created Art Academy, and the team and I are very happy to see people making some amazing artwork with it. I'm especially pleased that OsoOto feels it has helped him develop new skills!

If you're on Facebook, please join the Art Academy group and post you pictures on there too:

Thanks! It IS a great program, I really use these painting tips whenever I draw something! I'm usually doodling in class and before my friends would look at my drawings in disgust, but now they're just speechless and go, "hey.. how'd you do that?"

^_ I'm so getting Second Semester.

Oh wait no that's wrong. That's my old account that I deleted and now recovered but I can't upload anything to it
Well then I gotta make a new account...
And "Roopa" is used already... well then I have to take my nickname I didn't use for 2 years or so :

Here's my version of the red sailing boat.

Wow. Everyone's tremendous talent has me jealous, haha! I have a question; do you guys put your DSi on the table for better streaks and more precise painting or do you hold it as you normally would? Oh, and what kind of sports drink do you guys intake to become so godly in drawing?

Thanks Oso. But I certainly don't feel talented at all. I've been trying to paint and draw for years but never had a clue what I was doing. I have packs of art pencils, but didn't know which ones I should be using, so sketching out that pear really helped me.
Using the grid on the application helps as well (don't know why I never thought of doing that on my own). And what I've learned about mixing the paints is just stick to a few colours for each area. I'm still experimenting with adding different amounts of water to the brushes, and sometimes go over bits a few times until I like the way it looks. But that's something that I wouldn't be able to do with real paints because it would have to dry with each step. So this really is a great way to practice. I'm sure if you just keep experiment Oso, you'll find you're much better at it than you think.
In the few days I've had this application I've gained a lot of confidence in what I'm capable of doing... but I think it'll still be a while before I could transfer these skills to a real canvas. Hey... that makes me wonder .... has anyone tried printing one of their pictures off on real paper? I wonder how well they'd come out?

oh, and Oso .... I hold my DSi in my hands, or prop it on the arm of the sofa while I'm working. I need to keep it pretty close in order to see well.

Yeah I lay my DS down when drawing, and my tipple of choice is grape soda, lol

In other news, a local New Jersey resident bought out 3 supermarket's worth of grape soda. When asked, he said he wanted to draw amazing pictures on a Nintendo DSi handheld system XD

Well, I'm attemptin' to draw the red sail boat and the pepper, I'm making a facebook account just for this to show it to ya' guys Really motivating me to draw more.

@Victoria- Are you in NA? Because that may be why it didn't work.
I'm working on a new flipnote of Toon Link but it's not going as well as I'd like as faces are my kryptonite

Nope ... I'm in the UK. Maybe I just need to link to one of your Flips, then I can add you?

Speaking of Flipnotes .... does anyone else keep hitting the wrong buttons when trying to change tools 'cos you think you're on Flipnotes, but you're not? Grrrr.
