The Shorter Oxford Dictionary defines drawing as:
'the formation of a line by drawing some tracing instrument from point to point of a surface; representation by lines; delineation as distinguished from painting...the arrangement of lines which determine form.'
Despite this insistence on the formation of line and the implied lack of color few would deny that a work formed by dots or shading or wholly in line but in a range of colors is a drawing.
The following drawings, made in different ways, have been selected to help define and also to stretch the boundaries of what drawing is. They vary in the medium used, which includes metal-point, graphite, charcoal, ink, and chalk. Some fulfill the strict dictionary definition of drawing, others do not.
Thus, a drawing can comprise of a sketch, plan, design, graphic representation, etc. with the help of pens, pencils, or crayons, depending upon its nature and purpose. Given here are different kinds of drawings that one can take up and excel in. Check them out in the lines herein.
Different Kinds Of Drawings..
Life Drawing
Drawings that result from direct or real observations are life drawings. Life drawing, also known as still-life drawing or figure drawing, portrays all the expressions that are viewed by the artist and captured in the picture. The human figure forms one of the most enduring themes in life drawing that is applied to portraiture, sculpture, medical illustration, cartooning and comic book illustration, and other fields.
Emotive Drawing
Similar to painting, emotive drawing emphasizes on exploring and expressing different emotions, feelings, moods, self, time, etc. These are generally depicted in the form of a personality.
Sketching
Sketching is a kind of drawing that puts forward the instant thoughts of an artist. Thus, it is a rough freehand and loose drawing which is not considered to be a finished piece of work. Sketching, usually, results out of visualizing and immediately capturing them onto paper.
Analytic Drawing
Sketches that are created for clear understanding and representation of observations made by an artist are called analytic drawings. In simple words, analytic drawing is undertaken to divide observations into small parts for a better perspective.
Perspective Drawing
Perspective drawing is used by artists to create three-dimensional images on a two-dimensional picture plane, such as paper. It represents space, distance, volume, light, surface planes, and scale, all viewed from a particular eye-level.
Diagrammatic Drawing
When concepts and ideas are explored and investigated, these are documented on paper through diagrammatic drawing. Diagrams are created to depict adjacency and happenstance that are likely to take place in the immediate future. Thus, diagrammatic drawings serve as active design process for the instant ideas so conceived.
Illustration Drawing
Drawings that are created to represent the lay out of a particular document are illustration drawings. They include all the basic details of the project so concerned clearly stating its purpose, style, size, color, character, effect, and others.
Geometric Drawing
Geometric drawing is used, particularly, in construction fields that demand specific dimensions. Measured scales, true sides, sections, and various other descriptive views are represented through geometric drawing.
Engineering Drawing
This drawings are typically used as visual tools in the creation of homes, bridges, and other buildings for Cilvil related works. While these drawings can be quite straightforward to individuals who are skilled in the each discipline field of engineering or architecture, they can be quite difficult to interpret for laypeople. Knowing how to read engineering drawings will help provide you with a better idea of your discipline field.
