Each drawing prompt on this month's list represents something that shouldn't naturally have humanistic traits—but we're going to give them personalities! From a gossiping phone to a ticklish shadow, these prompts invite you to imagine, explore, and create in unexpected ways. Maybe even make you say hmmmmm....
