drawn
Tied or sketched
Drawn is the past participle of draw, covering all that verb's meanings: a picture drawn in charcoal, curtains drawn shut, a bath drawn, a gun drawn, a conclusion drawn.
As an adjective, drawn describes a face showing strain or exhaustion—features tight and haggard, as if pulled taut by worry or fatigue: She looked pale and drawn after the ordeal.
