Some people use the term "fan art" for any artwork done in Japanese Manga or Anime style. This is incorrect. A depiction of Yu-Gi-Oh or Sailor Moon characters would indeed be called fan art, but a character of the artist's own creation that is drawn in an anime/manga style would not be. Still other people use the term to refer to ''only'' works traced or freehand-copied directly from a single work of art by another (usually professional) artist. While traced and copied drawings may indeed be called fanart, many artists will vehemently argue agaisnt this use of the term, as it causes confusion and casts the term in a bad light. Fan art is usually a violation of the original creator's Copyright , but since it is usually intended as a Tribute , the copyright holders tend to tolerate (and oftentimes even encourage) it, though some artists will not tolerate fanart of their creations being sold for a profit.
