Drawing is the oldest form of art; a way of expressing thoughts and ideas. Even since the stone age, humans had been known to draw on the cave wall. At that particular time, their subject of art is limited only to the things they encountered in daily life, such as hunting and rituals.

It is interesting to note that the ancient Egyptians used special pigments derived from the soil as colours to their artwork. They were said to have contributed in inventing the sea-blue colour.
