A common power for many one-shot villains and examples of Monster of the Week, Art Initiates Life is where a character can quite literally change their artworks into real versions of whatever they depict. Usually using some rare MacGuffin or Applied Phlebotinum, this most often happens with a character bringing their paintings or drawings from canvas to reality, possibly using some form of a magic pencil, but can also cover various other forms of art, such as sculptors bringing various statues to life. This is also not always a wanted side effect of these drawings, as in some series there have been instances where a character with this ability was not aware that there was actually an effect. A villainous character whose method is this may well be a Mad Artist or in games, a Mook Maker for a level or area. Naturally results in a Living Drawing. Compare with Rewriting Reality, the written version of this trope. Can result in Pygmalion Plot. See also Portal Picture, Art Attacker. |

The events of Life Sketch are brought about by Koneko Tachimachi's use of a magic sketchbook which she uses to bring anime characters to life. In fact, it appears that even characters who were created using the sketchbook are able to use it for their own purposes. |

Tales from the Crypt had an episode about a comic book cover artist who was taking weird fertility drugs because his harpy of a wife wanted kids. His covers started being re-enacted in real life — and since the comic book he was drawing for was Tales from the Crypt, mayhem ensued. | |

Ultraman Taro has another episode recycling Gabadon's story, where a child's drawing of a kaiju called Gongoros becomes a real monster, thanks to absorbing radiation from an exploded planet called Triones M81. Unlike Gabadon before it, Gongoros is a hostile monster who immediately goes on a rampage. | |

Bleach: Ichibe Hyosube uses a giant brush to paint kanji, causing the word to manifest in reality. For example, "hidden" cloaks anything it's painted on in a way that makes it extremely difficult to detect anything's been hidden at all. Anything he "cuts" with his brush is also figuratively cut in half; power, speed, reaction, even the name is split into two. | |

The Silmarillion: Much like how God speaks creation into being in Genesis, Eru Ilúvatar is said to have created the universe by singing and harmonizing with his Valar. The dark side of this form of creation is that when some of the Valar deliberately disharmonize, it introduces evil into the symphony of creation. | |

The Classic Singapore Horror Stories story, The Artist Arcane Tao. The titular character is a Mad Artist who dabbled in the occult, creating haunting, lifelike pictures of ghouls, demons, and assorted hellish creatures, with his masterpiece being that of Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies. The story ends with Beelzebub escaping his painting into the mortal world, before dragging Arcane back to the painting with him. | |

Naruto: Most of Sai's combat techniques involve drawing fantastical creatures with ink on his artbook and bringing them to life to do his bidding. He hands down this very same skillset to his son, Inojin. Also, Yakumo, a filler character who could construct genjutsu (strong enough that Your Mind Makes It Real) with her art. Her power got out of control, and the monster it created killed her parents. Deidara was the first chronological example of this in the series, though his art tends to leave more of an impact, due to being made from clay plastic explosives. In fact the first thing he does is make a cute clay sculpture of a spider, that promptly turns three people's heads into salsa. Sculpting has never been so damn epic! Art is a bang! |

The (barely) recurring Darkwing Duck villain Splatter Phoenix had this as her schtick. She had some kind of Applied Phlebotinum that could both bring her paintings to life and insert living people (including herself) into paintings, where they could then move from one painting to another. She also used it to steal the smile right off the Mona Lisa. | |

Kirby: Ado, Adeleine, and Paint Roller attack by drawing monsters and bringing them to life. After being freed of her Demonic Possession, Adeleine joins your team, and uses her ability to help Kirby by painting powerups that become real... and at one point, saving the group from starvation and/or being eaten by Big Eater Extreme Omnivore Kirby while they're lost in the desert. Drawcia from Kirby: Canvas Curse draws the bosses Kirby faces. So does her sister Paintra, a boss from Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Kirby Star Allies adds their presumed younger sister Vividra, and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse added the possibly related duo of Claycia and Elline. |

The Victor and Valentino episode "Balloon Boys" features the boys visiting the Nazca Lines, which legend has it make anything drawn on the ground come to life. Victor and Valentino test this by making their own lines; first Victor gives himself a bigger brain, then Valentino turns Vic into a monkey, then Vic turns Val into a (literal) big crybaby. When they are stranded on the ground, Victor draws a giant dragon to scare away a pack of vicious alpacas, which backfires when the dragon then comes after them, and they have to erase the drawing to save themselves. | |

The second Franny K. Stein book, Attack of the 50-Ft. Cupid, had Franny invent a machine called the Manifester, which could bring pictures to life. A mishap results in her dog Igor accidentally zapping a Valentine depicting Cupid with both the Manifester and a growth ray Franny built called the Biggerizer, resulting in a gigantic winged Cherub rampaging through the city shooting arrows everywhere. | |

A variation occurs in Comix Zone. A comic artist's villain comes to life as a living drawing and traps the artist in comic book. Several times during the game, you'll see his hand come onto the screen and draw an enemy onto the panel to fight. If you lose, the villain is replaced with a flesh-and-blood version and goes off to Take Over the World. If you win, you escape from the comic. If you earn the best ending, you can bring your fictional love interest with you. | |

Vault of Horror: In "Drawn and Quartered", Hollywood Voodoo gives Moore the ability to affect reality with his art. By creating a painting of an object, anything done to that painting occurs to the real object. For example, when he rips up a painting of a jug, the jug shatters. Moore uses this power to take revenge on the three men who wronged him. | |

Used in two episodes of Amazing Stories: One involved magic paint that will bring a picture of anything to life. Naturally, the kid uses it to try and bring a pinup girl to life. Unfortunately, he spills it all over his monster magazines instead. In another episode, titled "The Mission," an aspiring cartoonist is trapped inside the ball-turret on the bottom of a B-17 bomber, and the plane's landing gear won't extend. Low on fuel, they're coming in for a gear-up landing, knowing that it will crush the cartoonist to death. In desperation, the cartoonist draws a picture of the B-17 and gives it a giant pair of wheels, whereupon giant cartoon wheels miraculously appear beneath the aircraft and save him from certain doom. (This episode was based on a real-life incident in World War 2, where a B-17 ball turret gunner was trapped and the landing gear didn't extend. It didn't end as well for him as it did in the show.) |

In Monsters Unleashed, the protagonist, Kei Kawade, has the power to summon monsters by drawing them in his notebook. When that fails, he created six original monsters, Fireclaw, Slizzik, Hi-Vo, Aegis, Mekara, and Scragg, to do battle against the Leviathon Queen. Later stories in the same series bring this into doubt, as they remember times before being summoned by Kei. | |

An ordinary sketch of a young woman, put through the enhancement machine SCP-914, became sapient. Cassandra or "Cassy" is designated SCP-085. She has since found out that she is just a drawing, which has made her terribly depressed. |

A quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion involved an artifact called the Brush of True Paint that made the things drawn in the canvas come to life.

Power Rangers has this trope come up multiple times: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers featured Finster, who created monsters and mooks by sculpting them from clay and then running them through... wait for it... the Monster-Matic. Power Rangers: Dino Thunder inverts this trope by having the Rangers put into a comic book world when they are drawn by an artist with a magic pen. Of course, when the Rangers escape the comic, so does the villainess. Some of the monsters of the week in Power Rangers S.P.D. originated from Mora's drawings. |

In the Discworld tale Strandpiel, by A.A. Pessimal, the artistically gifted youngest daughter of Professor Ponder Stibbons is enchanted with the Rodinian stacking dolls that were given to her oldest sister by a Baba Yaga. Ruth lovingly recreates almost exact copies of the Rodinian nesting dolls, putting all her artistic talent into them - alongside the magical streak she inherited from her father. After an eventful night, Ponder Stibbons realises his daughter, in copying an artefact imbued with magic by a powerful Witch, has succeeded in charging the copy with the same sort of Witch-magic. He stops and considers all the implications of this. A locally based Rodinian Witch is impressed and explains more to him about the role of the Matryoschka Dolls in her peoples' Witchcraft tradition. among other things, they open a psychic channel to the "mother-set", currently several thousand miles away in Howondaland | |

The artist dolls in Mendel Palace are capable of scribbling on panels and using them to animate stick figures in some levels. During their Boss Battle, they make clones of themselves. You can trick them into drawing on all of the panels to render them useless, and doing so nets you an extra life and a huge score bonus. | |

Ayakashi Triangle: Garaku Utagawa is able to bring any of his ink paintings to life, giving him a wide variety of creatures to command (from tiny rabbits to a giant dragon). Garaku's effectiveness is aided by his ability to draw super-humanly fast. The only major downside is that they're still made of ink, and thus water soluble. Suzu's first deliberate use for her Ki Manipulation powers is to bring origami to life. Garaku taught her to do so because folding origami helps her concentrate and he knew Suzu's past life did it before. She is not a Paper Master more generally, because she can only animate paper modeled after existing living things, not something like a paper airplane. In her own words, she must "provide meaning to things with the shape of life". On the plus side, being made of paper doesn't keep Suzu's creations from duplicating the abilities of the creatures they're based (like an origami dog still having a sense of smell). |

In Terra Ignota, Bridger's powers include this, coupled with a large dose of all around reality warping. Not only can he bring toys to sentience or sapience (for a long but limited time, which can be repeated), but with some exceptions for physics, he can make real anything he draws (permanently). This even includes creating a panacea by drawing a tube of medicine and designating it as such (and hypothetically being able to wipe out all life by drawing a tube labeled "world-ending plague"). Even outright magical artifacts are within his power to make, such as resurrection potions or Hermes' winged sandals. Bridger has a "No-No Box" filled with things he knows to absolutely never make real, which includes things like a black rubber ball (which he pretends to be a black hole), a doomsday device from a comic book, and representations of religious figures. | |

Green Lantern: The Tattooed Man, originally a Green Lantern villain, can (you guessed it) make his tattoos come to life. There have been three so far, but the third one, Mark Richards, is the only one whose tattoos developed minds of their own. Feena Sik of the Sinestro Corps brought her paintings to life in a magic ritual involving her husband's death, but her works all took on the nature of the deed and butchered their viewers. Law enforcement agents blacklisted all of her published work out of fear that any reprints would spontaneously come to life and kill again. |

In an episode of Misfits, Simon attempts his first present-day rescue by trying to save a guy from a bully. The next day at Community Service, the boy recognized Simon by Simon's injury. He wants to befriend him but Simon declines. Little does Simon know that the boy has the power to make his drawings come to life. He draws Simon and him becoming friends. Of course, he takes it too far and messes up Simon's life. Buuuut, let's just say it gets fixed. | |

This forms the basis of Beetleborgs, magic bringing comic book characters to life. Eventually, the artist of the comic books begins designing weapons for the heroes, while his brother, an insane artist, draws new monsters for the villains (ending the Beetleborgs' practice of going to the comics to see how the monster was defeated.) | |

Oggy and the Cockroaches: In "The Magic Pen", a pencil from a witch's purse falls to Oggy's house. Everything that is drawn with this pencil becomes real. Oggy and the Roaches fight over the pencil, and end up splitting it in half. Oggy conjures up medieval warriors, giant elephants, and unicorn-rhinoceros hybrids, while the cockroaches conjure up soldiers, military vehicles, mechas, and a dragon. The two armies duke it out. | |

In The Two Sides of Daring Do, the Chisel of Pygmalion, an artifact that AK Yearling/Daring Do found, has this ability. However, the catch is that in order for it to work the creator must be present and there must be a genuine desire for the work to come to life, thus Ahuizotl's attempt to use it on a statue failed. Since Yearling is present with the Chisel at a book signing, her fan's collective desire for Daring Do to exist sets off the plot by activating it and creating a Daring Do clone based off Yearling's exaggerated accounts depicted in her books. | |

Inverted in the Are You Afraid of the Dark? Season 6 episode "The Tale of Oblivion". A boy has some charcoal and an eraser, nothing happens when he draws something, but when he erases it, it goes to a pocket dimension called "Oblivion". It even works if he just writes the name of something and then erases it. For example, to prove it to his sister Shelly, he writes "Shelly's Underpants", then erases those words. The boy travels to Oblivion to retrieve something important, and finds out his magic writing tools were once used as weapons against those who sought to abuse their power. | |

Variation: Relm from Final Fantasy VI has an ability called "Sketch", which copies a target and randomly uses one of its attacks. At one point, you enter into an art collector's home, and get attacked by monsters hiding inside several paintings, including one ironically named "Still Life." (Also aptly named, what with its main attacks being poison attacks and death spells) Later, you discover that the monsters are due to a demon possessing the art collector's painting of an Esper, as the demon has fallen in love with "the girl in the picture." | |

In The Last Days Of New Paris, the bizarre event known as the S-Blast has brought art to life in Paris. Now surrealists are helping the resistance against the Nazis by creating art to help them fight. The climax of the book reveals that the Nazis have been figuring out how to do the same. After all, Hitler used to be an artist, too... | |

Several times in the Douwe Dabbert comics. There are living books, whose contents will spill out of them if you're not careful (And if the book happened to be about monsters - good luck!), paintings that come to life and a huge dragon that escapes the kimono it was painted on. | |

Denkō Chōjin Gridman and its American adaptation Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad both had a pair of villains: a human who would come up with computer viruses with the appearances of kaiju, and an alien who would then turn them into real kaiju with his magic. The latter, being longer than its source material, took advantage of the idea that the human could just create a backup of his art before they brought it to life so that if a monster was particularly successful, they could bring it to life again for another try. | |

The Elder Sister-like One: In one of the later chapters while Yuu is doing his summer schoolwork, Chiyo passes the time practicing writing and drawing. Her drawings end up coming to life and running/crawling/slithering away, prompting Chiyo to try to catch them before Yuu notices. However, since Chiyo is Shub-Niggurath, her creations are a bit more Eldritch Abomination than most of the entries here. | |

SSSS.GRIDMAN has this as the primary power of the Big Bad: Akane creates each Monster of the Week out of modeling clay, then Alexis uses his Instance Abreaction to bring the statue to life as a kaiju. Alexis can actually just make an infinite number of kaiju up out of thin air whenever he wants, but he doesn't have a creative bone in his body and needs someone else to come up with good designs for him. | |

The Devil Fruit of the One Piece character Kanjuro grants him the ability to bring into reality anything he draws. The humorous twist is that he's also a dreadful artist and as a result can't fully utilize his ability. Until it was reveled that he faked his lack of talent and is in fact capable of drawing a perfect copy of himself that pretty much fooled everyone. Turns out that his terrible artworks were drawn with his left hand. | |

In Salman Rushdie's The Enchantress of Florence, emperor Akhbar the Great imagines an ideal queen and orders painter Daswant to portrait her, hence making her real. In the same book, the musician Tansen sees his body covered in flames when he sings the Fire Song. But Rushdie inverts the trope when he makes Daswant disappear from the real world by portraiting himself in a picture. | |

The Thieves' World universe had a painter who was granted the ability to create life with his drawings, although he didn't realize that this ability was real, for some time. He also got the ability, much earlier on, to paint an image of the soul of the person sitting for him. This made life more awkward than it sounds since the majority of the wealthy patrons who wanted him to paint them did * not* like him painting the real them (especially since it rarely matched the outside). | |

The Inkworld Trilogy has an interesting version of this trope. Very rarely, someone is born who is able to read anything, animal or human, out of books and into the real world, or vice versa. Much of the books' plots come from the machinations of fictional characters brought into reality, who either scheme to take advantage of their new position or to return to their stories. | |

Get Smart: In one episode, a villain uses a magical paint called "dorian grey" (ha ha) which can be used to retouch portraits of real people and cause them to age. He gets his comeuppance when Max and 99 get a vial of the paint and start retouching a portrait of the villain. Another episode involved a potion that, when injected into them, allowed wax figures to come to life. |

Mad Artist Kadaspala has spent the millennium or so he's been imprisoned in a pocket dimension tattooing an intricate pattern on those who are too weak or too damaged to haul the giant wagon they are chained to and thus are adding to said wagon's weight. By doing this, Kadaspala intends to create a god for the entire purpose of taking revenge on Anomander Rake for allegedly being involved in his sister's death. He actually succeeds in bringing the Child God to life. However, it does not live long enough to do much damage. | |

Eerie, Indiana had the episode "Who's Who," where guest character Sara Bob had this power due to an Eerie brand pencil. She first demonstrates this by drawing a picture of main character Marshall's missing bike (for a "lost" poster), but it instead creates a new bike. To escape her terrible home life, she first draws Marshall's mother as her own long lost mom, then a picture of herself with her mother, teleporting to her. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders: Early in the story when a brainwashed Kakyoin is watching Jotaro, he makes a drawing of Jotaro before painting a red slash on the leg, which immediately injures Jotaro at the same time. Diamond is Unbreakable: Koichi's Echoes Act 2 can also plant written sounds, but these will instead become real; for example, if it plants the sound "whoosh", a strong gust of wind will appear; if it plants "cracklecrackle", flames will appear; etc. Stone Ocean: Ungalo's Bohemian Rhapsody causes any depiction of creations, from a stick figure on a street sign, to fairytale characters like Pinocchio and the Seven Dwarves, even copyrighted characters like Spider-Man , and actual historic figures such as Vincent Van Gogh coming to life on a worldwide scale. |

Ultra Series An episode of Ultraman featured a child's drawing of a kaiju coming to life, thanks to a strange type of cosmic radiation affecting Earth. Fortunately, Gabadon was a Gentle Giant who only wanted to sleep, but his presence unnerved Tokyo badly enough that Science Patrol still needed to dispose of the monster. Ultraman Taro has another episode recycling Gabadon's story, where a child's drawing of a kaiju called Gongoros becomes a real monster, thanks to absorbing radiation from an exploded planet called Triones M81. Unlike Gabadon before it, Gongoros is a hostile monster who immediately goes on a rampage. |

Reedus from Fairy Tail can use "picto magic" to bring anything he draws (usually on his body, which has quite a lot of surface) into reality. So can the members of a dark guild "Red Hood", even using multiple images at once for greater effect, but they use notebooks to sketch on, and pencils instead of paint. | |

Brushogun in Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo was an artist who dabbled in dark arts to breathe life into his creations. The ritual backfired, warping him into a paper-skinned monster who can create multicolored mooks from the ink in his fingertips. | |

An early issue of the Mirage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic featured comic book artist Kirby King, who found a crystal that would allow everything he drew come to life before disappearing to an alternate world. The story was later adapted to a picture book and the second cartoon. Much later on it is revealed that the crystal had been previously used by April's father and that she was, in fact, one of the things he'd created with it. | |

In The Golden Key, a clan of artists secretly practices this kind of magic. The story deals with what happens when one of them diverges wildly from the bounds of acceptable behavior. | |

The Charmed (1998) episode "Witches in Tights" featured a teenage boy with this power. However, this case is explained as a product of the boy's power of projection; later users demonstrate that the drawings weren't strictly necessary. | |

In Paperhouse, adapted from Catherine Storr's Marianne Dreams, young Anna draws a house, whose likeness she then visits in vivid dreams. Addition to the sketched house of a young boy's face summons Marc, who seems to be sharing the same dream. | |

Mutsumi from Sgt. Frog has a "Reality Pen", given to him by his buddy Kululu, that lets him bring drawings to life. There's also Putata of the Shurara Corps, who can do the same thing with his paintbrush. |

The Davincibles: Big Bad Quaba’s spray alive paint can bring any statue, painting, etc. to life. He frequently uses this to get new allies, though it backfires as well. | |
