Drawing is a form of visual art in which a person uses various drawing instruments to mark paper or another two-dimensional medium. Instruments include graphite pencils, pen and ink, paint brushes, crayons, colored pencils, charcoal, chalk, pastels, various types of erasers, markers, styluses, various metals (such as silverpoint) and electronic drawing.

A drawing instrument releases a small amount of material on a surface, leaving a visible mark. The most common support for drawing is paper, although other materials, such as cardboard, plastic, leather, canvas and board, can be used. Temporary drawings can be done on a blackboard or whiteboard or even just about anything. The medium has been a popular and fundamental medium of public expression throughout human history. It is one of the simplest and most efficient means of communicating visual ideas. The wide availability of drawing instruments makes it one of the most common artistic activities.
