Drawing

=Why Drawing is Important= Drawing is an important party of creating successful artwork. Even if the final product is not the drawing itself, drawing is used as a planning tool in the beginning stages of any project. As an artist it is important to put your ideas down on paper as a way of keeping a visual journal. Leonardo Da Vinci is an excellent example of this practice as he kept several written and drawn journals in his life time. From Da Vinci's journals came plans for flying machines, solar power, military engineering, musical instruments, the calculator and finally a canal system. He had a true creative mind!
