Are You Really Best Friends? Which Doraemon Character Are You? There is no good word for a person who only draws pencil or charcoal pictures of stuff.
Even languages that have words like dessinateur or dibujante , French and Spanish respectively, require clarification in context. It is not obvious on their face that these words refer to art istic drawing. So, English is not the only language that doesn't have a good noun for the person who does drawings.

Below is a review of a show of his drawings. They say draftsman and designer but also artist collocated with the word drawing. The exhibit is a result of the recent scholarly interest in drawings and their importance within the artistic process. On view are drawings by Michelangelo, from fifty public and private collections in the United States and Europe, including studies of anatomy, preparatory sketches, as well as highly finished compositions. The exhibition celebrates Michelangelo as a disegnatore , draftsman, and demonstrates his extensive use of disegno , drawing, from his early days in Florence until his death in Rome.
Beyond that, the exhibit shows him not as a solitary artist , but rather as one operating within a greater artistic network of patrons and artists. Sign up to join this community.

Hello, Emily. Though this is actually a different word, a homograph. If you're happy to carry on using 'painter' to mean 'one who paints', why can't 'drawer' be used to mean 'one who draws'? Have you checked in a dictionary? Listen to the pronunciations here: dictionary. Maybe this is yet another British English versus American English difference I pronounce the name of the artist differently from the piece of furniture However, there are lots of online dictionaries that define "drawer" as a person who draws.
Well, if I describe Vincent Van Gough as a painter, I don't think there's much risk of someone thinking that I've got a piece of rope with a famous name. And yes, it did occur to me to look in a dictionary for this - when I was about Most dictionaries describe a "drawer" with the following definitions: a boxlike compartment, underpants, one who takes money from a bank account, and someone who draws.

I think you're right about the reason for this. Until fairly recently drawing was a part of the preparation for painting, sculpture, tapestry, and other more highly-valued artistic practices, rather than an artistic end in itself. There's a lack of words for people who practice other forms like video art; photographer and printmaker are single-word names, but those names don't specifically refer to art practice any more than "drawer" does.
Sorry, but drawing artist is not a thing. In all my days of museum- and gallery-going, not to mention reading art books, I have never seen that. Lambie: Yes, it is not an established art term or a dictionary term like painter and sculptor and I've explained some of the reasons already.
Drawing artist became a more popular term where drawing became a more established art form and with the online platforms. It is also an approach to find a generic term with the use of the established term "artist". And I am not the OP, so any reasonable compound is okay by me. Still, the OP balks at drawer, and Hello, I am a drawing artist , hmm, sounds vaguely like Hello, I am a growing tree.
I dunno. Really like the references. Show 2 more comments. Drawer Oxford dictionary definition 3 A person who produces a drawing or design. Arm the good guys in America Arm the good guys in America 2 2 gold badges 18 18 silver badges 49 49 bronze badges.
