Common drawing tools include graphite, ink, paint, colored pencils, charcoal, and pastels. Digital drawing can also be done using a computer, stylus, or touchscreen. The most common surface for drawing is paper, but other materials like cardboard and canvas can also be used. Drawing is one of the simplest and most fundamental means of human expression throughout history. It is widely practiced for both artistic and commercial purposes like illustration, animation, and engineering.

Drawing is a form of visual art in which a person uses various drawing instruments to
mark paper or another two-dimensional medium. Instruments include graphite pencils, pen and
ink, various kinds of paints, inked brushes, colored pencils, crayons, charcoal, chalk, pastels, various kinds of erasers, markers, styluses, and various metals (such as silverpoint). Digital drawing is the act of using a computer to draw. Common methods of digital drawing include a stylus or finger on a touchscreen device, stylus- or finger-to-touchpad, or in some cases, a mouse. There are many digital art programs and devices. 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, wood, 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 been a popular and fundamental means of public expression throughout human history. It is one of the simplest and most efficient means of communicating visual ideas.[1] The wide availability of drawing instruments makes drawing one of the most common artistic activities. In addition to its more artistic forms, drawing is frequently used in commercial illustration, animation, architecture, engineering and technical drawing. A quick, freehand drawing, usually not intended as a finished work, is sometimes called a sketch. An artist who practices or works in technical drawing may be called a drafter, draftsman or a draughtsman.[2]
