[edit] Introduction
Drawing - whether with pen, pencil, crayon or something else, this is a fascinating way to create artworks. It is probably one of the easiest to begin with.
Drawing is the basis for most visual media art. Some people may say something like "I can paint, but I can't draw". This is silly since a strong base in drawing is needed to be good at painting, even for abstract painters.
