One of the main categories of visual arts, and probably one of the most ancient of all artistic expressions going back to prehistoric times, drawing is a basic form of pictorial art.
It is often a necessary first step in other art categories, such as painting and engraving. It encompasses a variety of techniques (sketches, caricatures, pastel...) and media : charcoals, chalks, quills and pencils using ink or other pigments.
Among the great draftsmen in art history are such artists as Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt (to name but a few).
