Drawing is a language of symbols and figures. Marks and strokes are the basic ingredients of this language. In it, those symbols create a relationship between the symbols and marks with the visual context of the artwork. To draw, you need to see, but drawing enhances your ability to see the world. In this context, seeing means understanding space and the objects that fill it. That is what allows you to translate the 3 dimensions into the confines of 2 dimensions.
