INTRODUCTION
Drawings have been illustrated by a number of artists in so many ways. From

the ordinary day to day scenarios of the community to the Facebook blogs of a
traveler, drawings visually emphasize the subject and the technical elements of
the craft. When the children and adults both appreciated cartoons, it is because
of the very unique subject, attractive hue blending, appropriate forms, and
drawing meaningfulness are conveyed. The abstract drawings can just be a
hazy and confusing stroke of a pencil on a canvass, but for those who are art-
inclined individuals, they are able to see the different dimensions of an abstract
drawings, that in itself is a maze however magical because it connotes a lot of
subjects, meaning, and visual impacts. Photographs are overflowing posts on
social media, and they capture the hearts and mind of people regardless of
time, ages, and races.
6
The manner the camera captures the subjects in different poses and facial
expressions, with a better pixel resolution, posits the greater possibility of
assorted reactions drawn by the cyber friends and artists alike.
7
Likewise, the print media showing caricatures as creative way of

expressing a concern in a light if not humorous subjects are newsfeeds
soliciting a colorful emotion of the readers; it is the artist’s creativity in
terms of making the design that evokes images created by the
interpreters themselves. They may laugh seeing big heads of the
famous people, they may be sad contesting the implication of a
caricature, they may be entertained, too because of the artist’s
portrayal in such art. It is a common knowledge that the greatness of
any drawing is left to the artist’s way of interpretation.
8
In sketching artwork of people, the face is the focal point and the
stroke signifies the effect on the mood as portrayed. So, the impact on
the visual drawings are created by the artists who know the subject
better and can paint it in a way he wants it be perceived or
appreciated by any art or non-art lover.
