Turning Real People Into Anime Art

Turning Real People Into Anime Art

Real life looks different from anime and manga. That’s OK! But here’s what three dimensional humans might look like if they were two-dimensional drawings.

This is called “nijigenka” (二次元化) or “2D-ification” in Japanese. It’s not only popular in Japan, but pretty much anywhere people are interested in anime and manga. Recently some 2D-ified images have been circulating on Japanese sites like Matome Naver and 2ch.

Let’s have a look at some standouts and see how the drawings compare to the original photos.
