The term drawing refers to a visual art form that involves creating an image on a surface using a tool or instruments, such as pencils, charcoal, pens, brushes, and other materials. It is typically done with a focus on accurately representing the subject matter through the use of lines, shapes, values, textures, and colors to create depth, perspective, and form. Drawings can be created for various purposes such as artistic expression, documentation, or preliminary studies for paintings, sculpture, or other forms of visual arts.
