Common instruments include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoal, chalk, pastels, various kinds of erasers, markers, styluses, and various metals (such as silverpoint). An artist who practices or works in drawing may be called a draftsman or draughtsman.

Famous quotes containing the word drawing:

    Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    That we shall die, we know; ‘tis but the time,
    And drawing days out, that men stand upon.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Awareness of having better things to do with their lives is the secret to immunizing our children against false values—whether presented on television or in “real life.” The child who finds fulfillment in music or reading or cooking or swimming or writing or drawing is not as easily convinced that he needs recognition or power or some “high” to feel worthwhile.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
