“Let whoever may have attained to so much as to have the power of drawing know that he holds a great treasure” Michelangelo

Categories of drawing include figure drawing, cartooning, shading, and methods like; line drawing, stippling, shading, etc.
“Drawings is the artist’s most direct and spontaneous expression, a species of writing: it reveals, better than does painting, his true personality.” Edgar Degas
