Drawing is a way of making a picture. Drawings are created by making lines on a surface. Long lines make up the shapes and small lines make the textures. Drawings can be images of real-life or abstract images showing ideas that cannot be seen in the real world.
A drawing is the art created this way. Examples of things used to mark with are pencils, chalk, charcoal, crayons, pastels, markers, wax colored pencils, pen and ink.
Artists have been drawing for many centuries. They draw on paper or on other surfaces on which the marks show up.
Drawing techniques include sketching, shading, cubism and many more.
Between 1912 and 1948 art competitions were a part of the Olympics.
