Drawing is a visual art that makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium. Common instruments include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoals, chalk, pastels, markers, stylus, or various metals like silverpoint. An artist who practices or works in drawing may be referred to as a draftsman or draughtsman.

A small amount of material is released onto the two dimensional medium which leaves a visible mark—the process is similar to that of painting. 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 also become popular as a means of public expression via graffiti art, because of the easy availability of permanent markers.

How can I get better at drawing stuff?
Q. Some people can draw stuff naturally, and their work looks great. My previous attempts at drawing anything (objects / people / buildings) looks like the scribblings of a demented person. I need to draw a scene for a small info-poster about Health and Safety. Thanks.

A. Depending on how soon you need it, it would probably be a lot faster to just get someone who is already good at drawing to draw it for you. Otherwise, just make lots of sketches of what you want it to look like, and slowly refine them with tracing paper,etc until you get something great. then trace it in reverse with carbon paper and outline the result with ink. That's the generally accepted way to create a precise, finished-looking graphic design with nothing but "crummy sketch ability".

What are the steps to drawing excellent cartoons?
Q. How do I begin cartooning, and what are the types of steps I could follow for the basics in drawing cartoon animals? I am interested in drawing, but need help on where to start.
Asked by Thaeli - Wed Aug 9 12:19:52 2006 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Before you can begin cartooning you need to be able to draw realistic things -then distort them to be drawn easier or faster. You also should watch alot of cartoons and look at alot of comic books and "study" the art form. Hayao miyazaki's works, Disney, Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, old cartoons are the best, you can watch alot of them on youtube.com . for drawing animals there are lots of books you can buy or get from the library. this web site has a lot of links and things about cartoon and animation that should help. Also looking at photographs of animals as a reference . For the lion king the studio brought in lions for animators to study from. You can go to your local zoo too. -good luck

A. Graphite pencils are the standard go to tool for drawing. Try a Palomino pencil in the 2B - 2H range for sketching. Harder graphite will provide lighter colors while softer ones darker, this is due to the actual amount of graphite in the mixture. Scale goes: Extremely Hard - 9H to 7H Very Hard - 6H to 5H Hard - 4H to 3H Medium Hard - 2H to H Medium - F to HB Medium Soft - B to 2B Soft - 3B to 4B Very Soft - 5B to 6B Extremely Soft - 7B to 9B
