To see art the way that we see it, it has to get through time. people who happen to have done art in the past wanted to leave a mark on generations in the future. In Art, people can express themselves and let their ideas flow. contemplating art and the role of an artist, drawing is often one of the first mediums that come to mind. It is a powerful artistic tool for bringing ideas to life and transforming them into valuable works. Drawing has been an integral form of artistic expression since the dawn of civilization, continuously evolving in style and mediums across centuries. It is a versatile medium that transcends age and skill level, enjoyed by artists and non-artists. Drawing, in many ways, defines our humanity. It allows us to externalize our thoughts, giving them tangible form on paper or other surfaces. Through drawing, we are able to convey our deepest emotions, capturing moments and sharing narratives in ways that words alone often struggle to do justice. Through intricate details, bold lines, or subtle shading, drawing provides a means to communicate and connect with others, transcending language and cultural barriers. It is a medium that celebrates individual creativity, allowing each artist to leave their unique mark on the world.
