Q: What is drawing?
A: Drawing is so much more than pencil on paper.
To draw is to make a mark: you may scratch and stick, write and sew, extend and dissolve, be still and perform, provide and take, capture a moment and tell a story, maintain rules and push boundaries. Consider drawing to be an exercise in visualisation, as a process driven practice.

What does drawing mean to you?
