drawing tools
Pencils and pens
Drawing tools are instruments used to create images by hand—pencils, pens, charcoal, pastels, brushes, and the like.
The term extends to digital equivalents in graphics software, where a toolbar offers virtual pencils, brushes, and erasers.
In technical contexts, drawing tools include compasses, rulers, and protractors for precise geometric work.
