  Drawing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drawing is generally considered distinct from painting, in which colored pigments are suspended in a liquid medium and usually applied with a brush.
Etching is similar to drawing but differs in that the tool digs into the surface, which is then used to make prints on a separate surface.
One standard for differentiating drawing from painting is that it does not permit the artist to mix colors before applying them; colors can only be blended on the drawing surface, usually by overlaying one upon the other or by putting them close enough together that the eye "mixes" them.

 drawing
Drawing is traditionally a learning medium for the "bigger" practices of sculpture, painting and architecture; and Ingres says, "drawing is the probity of art." The Grove Dictionary of Art treats drawing sometimes as the servant, sometimes as the law-giver of painting; and one runs into problems distinguishing the two.
Judged on their own terms, such drawings serve as records of invention, original thought and primary observation, "as thoughts and images were first rendered into graphic form." [5] In terms of time and thought, drawing is here seen as a less mediated activity--more personal, spontaneous and intimate than painting, which traditionally takes planning and deliberation.
Through this action, drawing is a medium to Plato's "divine madness" and to Merleau-Pony's "delirium which is vision itself." [12] One could see drawing, in the Peircean sense, as an index which connects and activates the eye and the hand, as well as the self and the world.

 Geometry in Action: Graph Drawing
Graph drawing can be thought of as a form of data visualization, but unlike most other types of visualization the information to be visualized is purely combinatorial, consisting of edges connecting a set of vertices.
Applications of graph drawing include genealogy, cartography (subway maps form one of the standard examples of a graph drawing), sociology, software engineering (visualization of connections between program modules), VLSI design, and visualization of hypertext links.
Typical concerns of graph drawing algorithms are the area needed to draw a graph, the types of edges (straight lines or bent), the number of edge crossings for nonplanar graphs, separation of vertices and edges so they can be distinguished visually, and preservation of properties such as symmetry and distance.
