Animal Crossing: New Horizons got a new update recently which adds a ton of features in the game. However, there is one thing that many people still fall victim to in the game, and it is something that is really hard to master: spotting fake art. Fans of the Animal Crossing franchise will be well acquainted with Jolly Redd, the cunning fox who sells real and counterfeit paintings and furniture in the game.

Jolly is back again in New Horizons, and like always, it’s really difficult to spot the counterfeit paintings he is selling. To help with that, here is a list of the key things to look out for to know if the painting is fake.
