Mark-making magic. Drawing uses tools like pencils, crayons, and ink pens to create pictures on paper or other flat surfaces. Each tool makes different kinds of marks, so artists choose them based on the look they want.

Digital drawing too. Modern artists can also draw using styluses on tablets, mice on computers, or special controllers in virtual reality software. These digital tools let you create art that glows on a screen instead of sitting on paper.

Foundation of art. Drawing is one of the most basic forms of visual art, and it helps artists practice before creating paintings, sculptures, or other bigger projects. Many famous artists started by drawing thousands of sketches.
