A little drawing of two horse riders, this is an original ink wash sketch: graphite on yellow paper. There are rich tones within the antique paper and delicate details in the natural life drawing.

Drawing is a visual art that makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium. Common instruments include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoals, chalk, pastels, markers, stylus, or various metals like silverpoint. An artist who practices or works in drawing may be referred to as a draftsman or draughtsman. Drawing is a form of visual expression and is one of the major forms within the visual arts. Drawing (verb) is the act of making marks on a surface so as to create an image, form or shape. A quick, unrefined drawing may be defined as a sketch. In simplistic terms, drawing is distinct from painting, perhaps more so in the Western view; East Asian art, which generally only uses brushes, has historically made less distinction between the two. Critics may praise a painter's ability to draw well, meaning that the shapes, especially of the human body, are well-articulated, or a drawing may be considered painterly.
