Revolutionary Changes in Traditional Drawing Tools: A Literature Review

Abstract

First thing that springs to mind whenever we think of drawing and sketching is a wooden stick called a graphite pencil. It was in 1795 that the Graphite Pencil made its debut. Graphite pencils have been around since the 18th century and are currently going strong in the 21st century. We all know that even in the 21st century, we cannot ignore the pencil’s presence and significance. We were taught how to write and draw by the pencil from the very first day of school. Artists have long sought for new art forms, materials, techniques, and instruments. Because everything is moving so quickly in the digital age, artists are also looking for rapid and time-efficient results in their artwork. Thanks to improved technology, artists now have a better digital drawing tool. Using a digital drawing tool is quite comparable to using a traditional drawing pencil in the traditional sense. In this post, we’ll take a look at several cutting-edge digital drawing tools and explain how they might benefit artists.
