Drawing




The defanition of drawing is, creating an image,using a wide variety of tools and techniques. By far the most common tool for drawing is the graphite pencil. Some other common types are pen and ink, and pastels.
Line drawing is the most common technique, the artist has a little more control over detail and how the image turns out. Digital tools are now being used to help the artist gain more control, but still give the artwork the appearence of being done by hand. Scribbling and blending are just a few of the many techniques for drawing. When an artist becomes very successful with his/her drawings, or masters his technique(s) he/she is referred to as a draftsman or draughtsman
Two of the most well known draftsman are Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Leonardo da Vinci. In there day, and still presently, these two men were and are still some of the greatest artists ever. They helped to expand art into what it is now.
