What is a 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, inkedbrushes, 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.

In your sketchbook ..........

Draw a traditional setup of dishes, fruit and tablecloth. Experiment with arrangements, doing thumbnail sketches of each.

Arrange a few stainless steel utensils on a black background, and do a tonal study in graphite pencil.

Arrange some kid's toys, especially wooden ones, and old storybooks. Clues to a narrative  let your drawing suggest a story that has happened or is going to happen.  A broken object, historical items and photographs, clothes on a chair - objects can be loaded with meaning.
