[goss]

Special thanks to minoanmiss for this month's art prompt. :)

Challenge 43 - Gijinka: Objects

Draw an inanimate object as a person.

"Gijinka" is a form of anthropomorphism where human qualities are given to non-human beings (such as animals, plants, supernatural entities and fantastical creatures), objects, brands, concepts, or phenomena.

For this month's challenge, we will be focusing on inanimate objects only. Study your chosen object's form, colours and physical features. Try incorporating some of the object's distinguishing features into your design of its human counterpart.

Here are a few examples of an inanimate object (avocado) drawn as a human being:


NB: Gijinka may be popular in the anime/manga style, but is NOT limited to that type of drawing, so feel free to use any art style or media.

A round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be done at the end of the month on Saturday 30th April, 2022.

Happy Drawing, everyone! :)

This is a fun one!

I'm thinking of choosing an object associated with a particular character in fandom. So many possibilities!

[amberdreams]

Hmm that's a neat idea.

I did not know about gijinka before -- well, I had seen this kind of art at some time, sure --- but I had not known of it as a form with a name. Thank you kindly for teaching me of this!

[goss]

Me either! I found out about the term through minoanmiss - I love how much I've learned over the last few years through this comm. :)

Too bad I don't have any pictures of when I used to go to conventions as a PS4-tan

Heh, cool. I always enjoy the creativity in cosplay of this kind. :D
