Drawing is a form of visual art in which a person uses various drawing instruments to mark paper or another two-dimensional medium.
Instruments include:
- Graphite pencils
- Pen and ink
- Inked brushes
- Wax color pencils
- Crayons
- Charcoal
- Chalk
- Pastels
- Erasers
- Markers
- Styluses
- Metals (such as silverpoint)
- Electronic drawing
An artist who practices or works in technical drawing may be called a drafter, draftsman, or draughtsman.
A drawing instrument releases small amount of material onto a surface, leaving a visible mark.
The most common support for drawing is paper, although other materials, such as cardboard, plastic, leather, canvas, and board, may be used.
Temporary drawings may be made on a blackboard or whiteboard or indeed almost anything.
The medium has been a popular and fundamental means of public expression throughout human history.
It is one of the simplest and most efficient means of communicating visual ideas.
The wide availability of drawing instruments makes drawing one of the most common artistic activities.
