Animal Crossing Art – The Fake & Original Paintings in ACNH
Paintings in Animal Crossing have a whole different mechanism running at its back. The game has not only the original paintings but you can also get the fake without even noticing.
While there are dozens of paintings out there, most of them have their copies. These are actually obtained from either the villagers or purchased from Jolly Redd. In Animal Crossing, Redd is the only character who sells original art and sculptures.
Difference Between Original & Fake Art
While there are some noticeable spots between original and fake art, it can be a little tricky for beginners to catch them. Very minor details are missing in the fake ones and you can only see them if you already know.
So, in order to see if the painting is fake you must know their differences. For instance, here are the differences between some of the famous paintings.
- Famous Mona Lisa Painting: The fake version of this painting has raised eyebrows.
- Solemn Painting: In the fake version there is a man in the center, quite far at the doorway, he is just raising his hand instead of holding the door.
- Serene Painting: The fake version has an animal with dark-colored fur.
- Quaint Painting: The fake version can be identified by pouring milk. It will be pouring a lot of milk instead of just a little.
- Jolly Painting: The fake painting has no artichoke on the character’s shirt.
- Basic Painting: The fake version of this painting is identified by the character’s haircut. In the fake, there will be more hair on the sides and back and even on the forehead.
- Academic Painting: The fake version will have a big round mark on the top right corner.
These are the differences for most of the paintings. With these differences, you can save yourself from getting fake art.
