Drawing is a visual art that uses an instrument to mark paper or another
two-dimensional surface. The instrument might be pencils, crayons, pens
with inks, brushes with paints, or combinations of these, and in more
modern times, computer styluses with graphics tablets.
A drawing instrument releases a small amount of material onto a surface,
leaving a visible mark. The most common support for drawing is paper,
although other materials, such as cardboard, vellum, wood, plastic,
leather, canvas, and board, have been used. Temporary drawings may be
made on a blackboard or whiteboard.
Drawing has been a popular and fundamental means of public
expression throughout human history. It is one of the simplest and most
efficient means of communicating ideas. The wide availability of drawing
instruments makes drawing one of the most common artistic activities.
