fb/goldenartsgas Golden Art Studio G.A.S Drawing is one of the major forms of expression within the visual arts. It is generally concerned with the marking of lines and areas of tone onto paper, where the accurate representation of the visual world is expressed upon a plane surface. [ 3 ]Traditional drawings were monochrome, or at least had little colour, [ 4 ]while modern colored-pencil drawings may approach or cross a boundary between drawing and painting. In Western terminology, drawing is distinct from painting, even though similar mediaoften are employed in both tasks. Dry media, normally associated with drawing, such as chalk, may be used in pastelpaintings. Drawing may be done with a liquid medium, applied with brushes or pens. Similar supports likewise can serve both: painting generally involves the application of liquid paint onto prepared canvas or panels, but sometimes an underdrawingis drawn first on that same support. Drawing is often exploratory, with considerable emphasis on observation, problem-solvingand composition. Drawing is also regularly used in preparation for a painting, further obfuscating their distinction. Drawings created for these purposes are called studies. There are several categories of drawing, including figure drawing, cartooning, doodlingand shading. There are also many drawing methods, such as line drawing, stippling, shading, the surrealist method of entopic graphomania(in which dots are made at the sites of impurities in a blank sheet of paper, and lines are then made between the dots), and tracing (drawing on a translucent paper, such as tracing paper, around the outline of preexisting shapes that show through the paper). A quick, unrefined drawing may be called a sketch. In fields outside art, technical drawingsor plans of buildings, machinery, circuitry and other things are often called drawings even when they have been transferred to another medium by printing.
