Nintendo has announced a new Pokemon title for the 3DS that will teach you to draw and paint characters from the famous franchise. The Art Academy series, which made its debut in 2009 on the original DS, is returning to the handheld with Pokemon Art Academy, which will give techniques and tutorials on how to draw Pokemon in 2D.

Nintendo's press release states that there will be 40 different lessons on drawing, painting, and sketching, all of which will get you on the way to illustrating your favorite characters. The title claims to be accessible to all ages with easy-to-understand tutorials, and that the skills can translate to real-life canvas.
The original Art Academy titles have been generally well-received, so the Pokemon version should be pretty popular. The property is an outrageously successful seller, so teaching people how to draw and paint characters from the series should go over well with the system's audience.

"Pokémon Art Academy lets fans deepen their connection with these iconic characters by providing detailed lessons teaching how to draw them on their Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 2DS in a straightforward and enjoyable way."
The title will give you increasingly advanced lessons on drawing Pokemon such as Pikachu, Oshawott, Charizard, Torchic, Fletchling and Fennekin. Stay tuned for an official release date announcement in the future. Video of the last title in the series, New Art Academy, can be seen below.
