Drawing is a versatile form of art. It can be simple, complex, or in-between. Any way you do it, drawing can turn out beautiful. It just depends on the final presentation and how it’s all tied together. Take, for example, line drawing. It can be very simple or it can be very detailed. It’s up to you, the artist, how creative you want to be with something as simple as a line.
