Drawing is the act of creating an image, idea, or theme through illustration or a picture. Drawing is usually performed with a pencil, pen, crayon, or other tool that leaves behind an amount of itself or that which it contains on the surface it is being applied to: a pencil will deposit amounts of graphite onto paper; a pen will leave ink; a crayon will leave wax; a marker will leave a pigment or dye.

The images conveyed while drawing are usually a result of an individual's perception of the object being illustrated.
