Outline of drawing and drawings

Visual artworks on two-dimensional surfaces From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following outline is provided as an overview of and typical guide to drawing and drawings:

Drawing is a visual art that uses an instrument to mark paper or another two-dimensional surface, or a digital representation of such. Traditionally, the instruments used to create a drawing include pencils, crayons, and ink pens, sometimes in combination. More modern tools include computer styluses with mice and graphics tablets and gamepads in VR drawing software.

A drawing is a product of that activity.

  • Gesture Drawing - loose drawing or sketching with the wrists moving, to create a sense of naturalism of the line or shape, as opposed to geometric or mechanical drawing
  • Grisaille
  • Hatching consists of hatching, contour hatching, and double contour hatching

Principles and elements of drawing

  • Composition
  • Elements of art group of aspects of a work of art used in teaching and analysis, in combination with the principles of art. They are texture, form, line, color, value, and shape.
  • Perspective the principle of creating the illusion of 3-dimensionality on a 2-dimensional source such as paper. This is achieved by using one or more vanishing points (Line perspective), or making the atmosphere greyer, blurrier and smaller as it goes further back (Atmospheric perspective).
  • Principles of art set of guidelines of art to be considered concerning the impact of a piece of artwork, in combination with the elements of art.[1][2] They are movement, unity, harmony, variety, balance, emphasis, contrast, proportion, and pattern.
