Welcome to Mahalo Drawing!
Drawing is a visual art which makes use of graphite pencils, pens, ink, brushes, markers, charcoal, crayons or chalk to create an image within a two-dimensional workspace. Drawing is often exploratory, with considerable emphasis on observation, problem solving and composition. Drawing can be used as the final piece of art or as the preliminary sketch for a painting, color drawing, black and white drawing, charcoal drawing and much more. A piece of art that is done in pencil and/or charcoal can be very stunning on its own.
The basic description of drawing is the act of making a picture or an image.
The advanced description of drawing is when a drawing is made for artistic or technical purposes. An artistic drawing is the preliminary step in preparation for a finished piece of artwork. A technical drawing is a drawing that shows how an object will look, how it is to be put together and a view for all directions.c
