Start with painting by numbers and work from there. That's what I did in my early stages and really it worked wonders. Here's an encouraging article https://ledgebay.com/is-painting-by-numbers-cheating-or-an-artistic-process/ Plus if you start you soon discover how much fun it is. I strongly encourage you to give it a try if that's really what you wish you could do.
yay!

i'm so glad this is here.

i didn't think it was going to be.

Anyone can paint. You know it!

Everyone can paint and draw. Get a cardboard and a pencil, put a piece of paper over it and go outside. Draw a tree you see. Use the entire piece of paper, don't draw it small.

The first 10000 tries (or 5000 pieces of paper) will look bad, after the 10000 try you begin to understand whats going on and you improve a million times. Even during those 10000 tries you can begin to use colors and draw other things that you enjoy. Apply the same knowledge you've gathered in drawing trees to literally everything else, including people.

EDIT: Also the game looks real cozy!

That's the most beautiful artist I've witnessed in a game.
When I first read the title, I was expecting a photography sim (like Pokemon Snap). But this... Not gonna lie, the Ghibli-inspired graphics sold the game even before I read the page.

Goodness! Appreciate all of the support.

Maybe I will give it a shot. My last attempts always ended in distorted abominations that I still can't help but laugh at.

Or we could always paint vicariously through this title.
This looks good. Might grab this by the weekend when I'll know if there's anything else newly released I want to buy.

Hell. Just do a Pollock, splashing random paint on a canvas and then call it art. ;)
Hello everyone,

this game's art design looks marvellous, just like a Studio Gibli animation!

But how much actual gameplay is there in it?
I guess "Passpartout: The Starving Artist" is better suited for an actual beginner type...

Since I am an hobby-artist with a preference for black and white (e.g. coal, ink) or grey pencil drawings myself, I am a bit disappointed to see the impressive initial handdrawn sketches being replaced by less than stellar full color rerendered images in the trailer video.
And the painting or drawing recognition seem to have been implemented more precisely in other games, such as "Okami" or 'the' Nintendo DS adventure game (whose name I forgot), already.

I am curious to know more about the actual gameplay of this one and whether the story is closed in itself or not.

Kind regards,
foxgog
