Data input method and data input device for inputting text and voice data

An image creating apparatus for creating plural kinds of images which are different in each image class about brushwork and expression based on data of a single image, which includes a face component library ( ) and a rule library ( ). The face component library ( ) is composed of image libraries ( to ) of the respective face components such as eyes, noses, mouths and so forth each of which stores a plurality of image groups of the respective face components having different image elements in each of image classes &ldquo;i&equals;1 to n&rdquo;. An eye image library stores an image group composed by a plurality of eye images having different image elements about slant and roundness for each image class. The image elements are an item for measurement about character quantities extracted from the entered image data. In the same manner, the rule library ( ) is composed of a select rule library ( ), a deform rule library ( ) and an arrange rule library ( ) which store rule groups consisting of a plurality of rules for each face component about each image class (i&equals;1 to n).
