Most commonly sourced from animation (both North American cartoons and [[Anime]]), since by nature animated characters are ''designed'' to be easy to draw. People with an interest in visual arts are also more likely to be animation fans than most others.
 
As for [[Live Action TV|live action]] shows, it takes a certain level of artistic sophistication to depict real people with any degree of recognition. That doesn't stop anyone, however, and any visually interesting or unique show is likely to have some fan-made pieces floating around. Most often these are [[Speculative Fiction]] shows, since most fan art based on ''normal'' people is more about the actor or actress than the character.
