 Drawing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drawing is generally considered distinct from painting, in which colored pigments are suspended in a liquid medium and usually applied with a brush.
Most drawings are representational, depicting objects or scenes which the artist views, remembers, or imagines.
Masters of drawing in the 1400's and 1500's included Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Dürer, Michelangelo, and Raphael.

Cartoon: A full-size preparatory drawing for a painting, fresco, tapestry, or embroidery pattern.
Underdrawing: Used to describe a preliminary drawing, often in charcoal, and usually on a painting's canvas or panel, in which the outlines of form or composition are sketched in preparation for detailed work in other media.
The drawing collection, along with the print and photograph collections, are housed in the Agnes Mongan Center at the Fogg Art Museum.

 ArtLex on Drawing
Preliminary drawings include various exercises (e.g., contour drawing, gesture drawing, figure drawing, drawing from the flat), as well as sketches and studies, cartoons and underdrawings.
"Drawings are the first ideas of a painter, the first flash of his imagination, his style, his spirit, his way of thinking.
Though an integral part of most painting, drawing is generally differentiated from painting by the dominance of line over mass.

 Drawing - Free Encyclopedia
Common drawing tools are pencils, chalk, charcoal, crayons, pastels, and pen and ink.
One thing that differentiates drawing from painting is that in drawing, an artist uses pure colors and cannot mix them before application.
These marks may represent what the artist sees when drawing, a remembered or imagined scene or abstraction, or, in the case of automatic drawing, may have much to do with the automatic motion of the artist's hand across the paper (or other surface).
