undrawing
Withdrawing a line
Undrawing is the act of pulling back or opening something that was drawn closed, most often curtains or drapes: She began undrawing the heavy velvet curtains to let in the morning light.
The word can also describe retracting something previously drawn, such as a weapon from its sheath or a conclusion from an argument.
