drawing
Art without paint
Drawing is the act of making marks on a surface to create images, or the image itself: a pencil drawing, a child's drawing of a house.
The word extends to any pulling or extracting motion—drawing water from a well, drawing a weapon, drawing conclusions.
A drawing is also a selection by chance: The raffle drawing is tonight.
