I always start with iconing what I'm watching at the moment because the inspiration is fresh and I look at the screen thinking 'hey,this looks good,I want to icon this part'. I definitely like iconing pretty people. :3 When I say pretty,I mean like character designs/outfits that I like. Also yes,I do icon more women than men.At least I seem to do so for TV shows and movies.But if it's animation stuff,then I do icon a lot of guys,probably because I watch so many male-centric animes.
