* [[SCP Foundation|SCP-237]], [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-237 the Modern-Day Pygmalion], is a [[Hikikomori]] who can create homunculi from handmade miniature figures. {{spoiler|He may or may not be a spy...}}

* The events of [[Life Sketch]] are brought about by Koneko Tachimachi's use of a magic sketchbook which she uses to bring anime characters to life.

* The (barely) recurring ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' villain Splatter Phoenix had this as her schtick. She had some kind of Applied Phlebotinum that could both bring her paintings to life and insert living people (including herself) into paintings, where they could then move from one painting to another. She also used it to steal the smile right off the Mona Lisa.

* In the "Frankendoodle" episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', Spongebob gets a "magic pencil." However, when he draws a "Doodlebob" with it, it comes to life and tries to erase him.

* ''[[Penny Crayon]]'' was a British cartoon which had this as the entire premise. Penny Crayon can draw anything she wishes, and it becomes real. Get hit by water, and it's gone though.

* On ''[[Frankenstein, Jr.]] and [[The Impossibles]]'', one of the Impossibles' foes was the Diabolical Dauber (voiced by [[Paul Winchell]]), who used his paintbrush and canvas to create a giraffe and a laughing hyena.

* In the ''[[Thundercats 2011|ThunderCats (2011)]]'' episode, "The Forest of Magi Oar," the Wood Forgers, a trio of [[Paper Master]]s, have this as a secondary power thanks to use of magic paper. Gami's paper beasts animate, move and employ [[Breath Weapon]]s. Zigg can paint a vessel with his brush to capture and contain evil spirits, or paint miniature animations. Snips can create self-propelling pinwheels, snowflake blizzards and people-sized cages.

* In the [[Betty Boop]] cartoon ''Ha! Ha! Ha!'', when Koko the clown got a toothache, Betty drew a dentist's office, complete with a tank of laughing gas. After they both got buzzed on the gas and forgot to turn off the nozzle, the gas started flowing out of the drawing board into the real world.
