2. Instruments used include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoal, chalk, pastels, various kinds of erasers, markers, styluses, and various metals.
3. An artist who practices or works in drawing may be called a draftsman or draughtsman.
4. A small amount of material is released onto the two dimensional medium, leaving a visible mark.
5. The most common support for drawing is paper, although other materials, such as cardboard, plastic, leather, canvas, and board, may be used.
6. Temporary drawings may be made on a blackboard or whiteboard or indeed almost anything.
7. The medium has been a popular and fundamental means of public expression throughout human history.
8. It is one of the simplest and most efficient means of communicating visual ideas.
9. The wide availability of drawing instruments makes drawing more common than other media.
10. Drawing is one of the major forms of expression within the visual arts, and is generally concerned with the marking of lines and areas of tone onto paper.

13. Dry media, normally associated with drawing, such as chalk, may be used in pastel paintings.
14. Drawing may be done with a liquid medium, applied with brushes or pens.

16. Drawing is often exploratory, with considerable emphasis on
