In January Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the Legend of Zelda series, launched a drawing event on Miiverse to bring the respective communities of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Art Academy: SketchPad together. The task is to show creativity with the 3DS game as a source of inspiration.
This event has been underway for a little while and closes on 16th February, so there's still plenty of opportunity for aspiring artists to share their creations and, possibly, be selected by Nintendo. Aonuma-san's guidelines are below.
For this event, the theme is to draw your favorite characters from the Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds!
Express your creativity by setting characters from the game in your original situations.
Guidelines:
- Pictures must be drawn using Art Academy: SketchPad which is available for purchase in the eShop.
- Pictures must feature at least one character from the Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
- Entries are limited to one original work per person.
- Comment on this post to submit your entry.
- Pictures will be chosen based on a rating system that considers skills, artistic expression and creativity.
- The artists whose entries receive the highest rating will be chosen by Nintendo. We may share your drawings outside Miiverse.
Remember, this is a global event, so please avoid using writing in your work.
The event will end on Feb. 16, 2014 or after there are over 1000 comments, whichever comes first. Works that stood out to us will be recognized under the categories of Gold Star, Silver Star, Bronze Star, Aonuma's Favorites, and Art Academy Favorites in this community.
There are some seriously impressive artworks already on display in the thread's comments section. Have you taken part yet, or do you plan to before the deadline?

@Nintenjoe64 95 yeahs is not 'no-one', but I feel you! I've done many drawings that just fell under the radar but my Zelda comp entry has my highest yeahs yet! (only like 60 xD)
@PvtOttobot That's beautiful. What's the URL?
EDIT: Found it in your previous post! +1ed you on MiiVerse!
I've seen such awesome artwork for this contest that anything I would make doesn't compare. I'm good with solid lines and color, but even then I take weeks to finish something.
Nintendo did the smart thing by using Resistive touch screens for their hardware.
Link dosen't have a hip sheath!
@JellySplat lol fail...!
That turtle picture is fantastic!
for anyone who likes the drawings or uses art academy like i do please help support AA users to get more saving space to save our drawings! D= sucks having to delete good drawings with no way to save on a SD card or something
Nintendo blocked my perfect turd. I didn't draw much on miiverse ever since...
