drawable

Able to sketch

Drawable describes something capable of being drawn—whether sketched with a pencil, pulled from a holster, or extracted from a source.

In computing, especially Android development, a drawable is a graphic resource that can be rendered on screen: icons, backgrounds, shapes.

The app loads custom drawables for each theme.

The term spans both potential and asset.
