Art drawing has many unique methods and styles. Some of art drawing styles are:

Caricature drawing

Caricature drawings are images that depict their subjects in oversimplified or over dramatized manners. Some hallmarks of caricatures may include enlarging or shrinking someone's facial features or personifying an object. Artists may use caricature in animation, advertising or graphic design.

Cartoon drawing

Cartoon drawings typically depict a more comedic or whimsical view of the world. Similar to caricatures, they may use over dramatized shapes and colors to show emotion or tone through images. Artists may use cartoons in illustrations, animation, advertising and graphic design.

Figure drawing

Artists create figure drawings, also known as still-life drawings, by making observations of the physical world. Subjects are often human models, but can also include objects like fruit, vehicles or items in nature. Artists who work in figure drawing try to capture the world as they see it. Art instructors typically use figure drawing to teach fundamentals and help students learn perspective, proportions and shading.

Line drawing

Line drawing focuses on the use of straight lines and contours without shading. In most line drawings, the artist creates an entire image without picking their instrument up from the surface. Line drawing may teach the importance of angles and curves without putting an emphasis on detail.

Perspective drawing

Artists use perspective drawing, also known as 3D or anamorphic drawing, to create three-dimensional images in a two-dimensional space, such as on paper. Those who use this type of drawing pay attention to distance, space, light, volume, surface and scale to determine how each object relates to one another.

Scientific illustrations

Artists create scientific illustrations, sometimes known as diagrams, to communicate complex concepts in an easy-to-comprehend way. They show scientific subjects like animals, the human body and naturally occurring objects in the universe in great detail in both still and animated forms. Scientific illustrations may use arrows and labels to point out specific information and show how certain parts interact with one another to give the most amount of information possible.

Scratch board drawing

Scratch board drawing, also known as scraper board drawing, uses a cardboard sheet coated with a thin layer of clay and India ink. Artists use a sharp tool, sometimes called a scratch board nib, to carve through the ink and reveal the clay. The more lines they make, the brighter the picture becomes. Scratch board drawings can be very detailed and may even resemble wood engravings sometimes.

Silhouette drawing

Silhouettes are images or designs that show the outline of an object in a single hue or tone. Artists usually create them in black and white, with one color as the background and the other filling the silhouette. They don't include details beyond the lines and curves present in the outline, and are popular for making profile portraits.

Sketch drawing

You can usually tell a sketch drawing by its less-refined lines and edges and unpolished look. Artists often create sketches with simple, quick marks and may ignore adding certain details that aren't important to the piece. They are typically used to show a working concept or capture something important in a short amount of time.
