A Drawing is an original work of art created using mediums such as graphite, charcoal, ink, chalk, pastel or coloured pencil on paper, vellum or card. Drawings have been used for centuries as preparatory studies, architectural plans, portraits, landscapes and finished works of art in their own right. Antique drawings are highly valued for revealing an artist\'s technique, creativity and working process, with many examples offering an intimate insight into the development of larger paintings or sculptures. *Related Terms*\ Charcoal Drawing, Graphite, Ink Drawing, Pastel, Sketch, Watercolour.
